X-Rap Twitchin' Mullet
If you're looking to catch tarpon with artificial lures, you'll probably be using a mullet imitation. In open water, however, you will have to fish slightly differently than you would in saltwater. The best way to fish in open water is to keep your bait ten- to fifteen feet from the rolling fish. Slowly, use a series of twitches to move it around. 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 your bait seem easy to the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored mullet is a good 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. If you fish in deep water, this bait can be used.

The colors will vary depending upon where you find them.
