X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
If you're looking to catch tarpon with artificial lures, you'll probably be using a mullet imitation. However, you're going to have to fish a little differently in the open waters than you would in saltwater. It's best to put your bait about ten or fifteen feet in front if you want to retrieve the rolling fish. Then, slowly and with a series on twitches, move it slowly. Morris suggests that you follow a one second pause with three seconds of pause. If retrieving erratically, Morris recommends changing to a one two count. This will make your bait seem easy to the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored, mullet is great for deep-water fishing. This bait buster is small and hollow, which makes it easier to hook up. The hook can be placed on the top lip or tarpon to allow it to flutter and swim. This bait is best for fishing in deep waters.
