You've found the right place if you want to catch tarpon using artificial lures. We've 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 have a unique action and they all work well.
X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
If you are looking to catch tarpon by using artificial lures, you will likely use a mullet imitation. You will need to fish differently in open water than in saltwater. You'll want to suspend your bait ten to fifteen feet in front of the rolling fish and work it slowly with a series of twitches. Morris recommends following a one-second pause with a three-second pause, and changing to a one-two count if you're retrieving erratically. This will make your bait look like a simple meal for the Tarpon.
This red-white, bunker-colored mullet makes a great choice for deep-water fishing. This bait buster has a small, hollow body that allows for a better hookup. The hook sits on the top of tarpon's lips and will flutter as it moves. When fishing in deep water, try using this bait when you're fishing in slow-water conditions.

The Double Barrel Popper emits a large sound and leaves behind a lot of bubbles. This lure is tied with a molded foam body and a natural or synthetic tail. It is most effective when used in shallow waters for spotted fish, and it can be cast out and retrieved like a brush fly. Once you find the right pattern you can catch tarpon.
A medium-heavy spinning rod and long, medium-heavy rod are recommended for fishing for tarpon. For line, Waszczuk recommends braided lines in the 40 to 50-pound class. You can select the weight of the line according to how big your tarpon is. For hooking, you can add a fluoro leader to the terminal end of your line and work your bait slowly with the tip of your rod. If you're fishing for tarpon in shallow water, try baits that resemble bunker and mullet. The colors can vary depending on where they're found.
