X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
A mullet imitation is a good choice if you want to catch tarpon using artificial lures. But, in open water you'll need to fish slightly differently to saltwater. To fish slowly, you'll need to place your bait about ten to fifteenft in front the rolling fish. Morris suggests following a 1-second pause followed by a 3-second pause. You can then change to a 1-two count if retrieving erratically. This will make your bait seem easy to the Tarpon.
This red-white mullet, which is also known as a bunker-colored mullet, is an excellent choice for deep water fishing. This bait buster features a small, hollow body which allows for better hookups. The hook allows it to sit on the top lip of tarpon and flutter as it swims. This bait is best for fishing in deep waters.

How To
How can I clean my fishing gear properly?
There are many different types of cleaning methods available for your fishing equipment. Some are simple, while others require more advanced techniques. You can use soap and warm water. You should always ensure you rinse the item thoroughly after washing it. If the item isn't washed thoroughly enough, dirt and bacteria could remain, leading to infection. This would lead to a bad smell and even worse infections if left untreated. 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.
There are many other things you can do to improve your fishing gear, besides using soap and drinking water. Special detergents and solvents may be necessary depending on what type of gear you have. You should avoid certain substances, however, as they could cause damage to your goods. Bleach is a common example. Bleach can dissolve metal and plastic so don't use it for cleaning your fishing gear. Warm water and a dishwashing detergent are better choices. Use only dishwashing fluids specifically made for cleaning fish. Dishwashing liquids contain enzymes and chemicals that help break down organic materials such as scales, slime, and blood. They also contain surfactants which remove dirt from surfaces. But, if staining is a concern, you might consider using a stain eliminator. Stains are usually caused by oils and fats that remain on the surface of the gear. Applying stain-removal products directly to the affected area will help remove the stain and not damage the underlying material.
There are many cleaners available for fishing gear at your local hardware store. There are many types of cleaners you can find in stores. Some can be used to clean small amounts of grease and others for larger amounts. You can pick the one that is most suitable for you.
