If you are looking for artificial lures to catch tarpon, this is the place to be. We've also covered Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper and MirrOlure 77M twitchbait are all covered, as well as 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
A mullet imitation is a good choice if you want to catch tarpon using artificial lures. Fishing in saltwater is a different experience than when you fish in open waters. 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 the bait appear easy to the Tarpon.
This red-white, bunker-colored mullet makes a great choice for deep-water fishing. This bait buster features a small, hollow body which allows for better hookups. The hook can be placed on the top lip or tarpon to allow it to flutter and swim. When fishing in deep water, try using this bait when you're fishing in slow-water conditions.
Dr. Dr.
Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper has a length of 8 inches and is made from tough plastic. This lure is also known by the "D.O.A Shrimp" and is the best lure for tarpon. This lure can catch large and small tarpon.
The Double Barrel Popper emits a large sound and leaves behind a lot of bubbles. This lure has a molded body and a synthetic or natural 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've found the right pattern, you'll be well on your way to catching tarpon.
You should fish for tarpon with a medium-heavy spinning and long rod. Waszczuk recommends braided line in the 40- to 50-pound range. The size of your tarpon can determine the weight of the line. To hook, add a fluoroleader at the terminal end of the line. Then slowly use the tip of the rod to move your bait. If you're fishing for tarpon in shallow water, try baits that resemble bunker and mullet. The color of the bait will vary depending on where they are found.
MirrOlure77M is a twitch bait
MirrOlure 77M shad twitchbait works well for tarpon, bluefish and snook. These twitchbaits come in many appealing patterns and can sink to several yards. This bait has an irresistible darting motion for fish. There are many choices for natural colors, patterns and designs.
The suspending action of this twitchbait means that it stays submerged up to 36 inches. This type of tarpon bait should not be fished as a single lure, but should be brought in slowly with a slow and steady retrieve. Its hot, tiger-colored color, also called the Tropical color in Cuba is perfect for tarpon when it's dark or low-light conditions. This twitchbait also works well on cubera snapper, jack crevalle, and other fish.
MirrOlure 77M twitchbait is all-purpose and can be used for trolling or casting. It is made of ABS and has a UV protective finish. It's designed to withstand a wide range of water conditions. This makes it versatile and highly efficient. The holographic reflections make this lure a standout in any situation.
X-Rap 3-inch 1/4 ounce clear jig
If you're looking to lure tarpon with a clear jig, the X-Rap jig is a great option. This bait is a favourite of Capt. Jim's for fishing inshore waters. It has excellent hooks and a sinking action when stationary. This bait works well in clear waters and can be fished either on the beach or close to a dock. This bait is also very effective in shallow flats and brackish rivers. For these situations, the gold or pilchard colours are excellent.
TerrorEyz is another clear jig that can be used to sight cast. It measures 3 inches and weighs 1/4 ounce. This bait has glitter specs that are designed to catch juvenile Spanish tarpon. It also looks great when it's clear water. The manufacturer even claims that the bait is stuffed with shrimp. If you are unsure if it's stuffed, it can be used as a soft plastic bait and still catch tarpon.

How To
How to fish in freshwater
Freshwater fishing can be described as catching freshwater fish from streams, lakes, rivers and ponds. Common fish species include bass, catfish and crappie as well as trout, trout, sunfish and walleye. These fish can be caught using a variety of methods. Some popular methods include casting, trolling, jigging, spinnerbaits, flyfishing, baitcasting, and ice fishing.
Finding a good spot to catch fish is the first step in any fishing endeavor. This means that you should choose a location near the water source. Next you must decide what kind of equipment you want to use.
Live bait should look like food to fish, so that they will eat it. You can use live bait such as worms and minnows, insects, grasshoppers, bloodworms and leeches.
Artificial lures are baits that are made from plastic, metal, foam, feathers, metal, rubber and other materials. Artificial lures are available in many sizes and shapes. They imitate natural prey items such as minnows, crawfish, shiners, grubs, and other aquatic animals. Many people prefer to use lures because they don't require much skill to cast them into the water. Lures are easy to set up and easy to retrieve once they hit their target.
If you do not want to use live bait or if you just want to try some new techniques then you might consider learning how to cast. Casting is one the most straightforward ways to catch fish. Casting requires little effort and does not require any special skills.
You only need a rod. A reel. Line, sinkers, weights, hooks. A simple pole can be used to cast. To cast the rod, hold it vertically above water's surface. Then you slowly lower the tip of the rod until it touches the water. Once it touches the water, the line will begin to unwind from your reel. You can let go of your rod when the line reaches its full length and the lure will fall into the water.
Trolling is another technique for catching fish. Trolling is the use of a boat to transport a lure across the water.
Fishing is both enjoyable and lucrative. There are many kinds of fishing and each one has its advantages and disadvantages. Some methods are easier to learn than others but all require patience and practice.
