If you're looking to catch tarpon on artificial lures, you've come to the right place. We have also covered Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper, MirrOlure 77M twitch bait, and the X-Rap 3-inch 1/4-ounce clear jig. Each of these flies is different, but each one works well.
X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
You'll likely be using a mullet imitation if you want tarpon to be caught with artificial lures. However, you're going to have to fish a little differently in the open waters than you would in saltwater. Your bait should be suspended ten to fifteen yards in front of the fish, and you will need to slowly work it with a series twitches. Morris recommends that you take a short pause and then follow it up with a three second pause. Then, if you are retrieving erratically Morris suggests changing to a two count. This will make the bait appear easy to the Tarpon.
This red-white, bunker-colored mullet makes a great choice for deep-water fishing. This baitbuster's hollow body makes for a better hookup. The hook can be placed on the top lip or tarpon to allow it to flutter and swim. This bait is ideal for fishing deep water.

You can pick the weight of your line according to the size and shape of your Tarpon. You can attach a fluoroleader to the terminal end and slowly work the bait with the tip.

How To
How do I properly clean my fishing gear?
There are many ways to clean your fishing equipment. Some methods are simple while others require more complex techniques. The most common method is to use soap and water. It is important to rinse the item well after washing it. There's a possibility of bacteria growth if the item is not rinsed well. Untreated, this can cause bad smells and worse infections. A good way to prevent this is to dry the items completely before storing them. When cleaning any item, you must avoid touching its surface. You risk spreading germs to objects if you touch them.
In addition to using soap and water, there are many things that you can do to improve the quality of your fishing gear. Special detergents and solvents may be necessary depending on what type of gear you have. However, there are some things you shouldn't use because they can damage your goods. Bleach is a common example. Bleach can dissolve metal and plastic so don't use it for cleaning your fishing gear. Instead, warm water and dishwashing soap are best. Only use dishwashing detergents designed to clean fish. Dishwashing liquids have enzymes and chemical that help to break down organic material such as scales. They also contain surfactants, which help to remove dirt and grime. But, if staining is a concern, you might consider using a stain eliminator. Oils and fats can cause stains. Applying stain removers directly on the area from which the oil or fat has come is a good way to remove it without causing any damage to the underlying material.
