If you are looking for artificial lures to catch tarpon, this is the place to be. We have 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 has a different action, and each works well.
XRap Twitchin’ Mollet
If you're looking to catch tarpon with artificial lures, you'll probably be using a mullet imitation. Fishing in saltwater is a different experience than when you fish in open waters. To fish slowly, you'll need to place your bait about ten to fifteenft in front the rolling fish. 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 makes a great choice for deep-water fishing. This bait buster features a small, hollow body which allows for better hookups. The hook is designed to be placed on top of the tarpon, allowing it to flutter along with it as it swims. This bait is ideal for fishing deep water.

Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper measures 8 inches in length, and is made of tough plastic. This lure, also known to be the "D.O.A Shrimp", can be used to catch tarpon. This lure can be used for both large and small tarpon.
Double Barrel Popper is loud and produces large bubble trails. This lure is tied with a molded foam body and a natural or synthetic tail. It's most effective in shallow waters where there are spotted fish. The lure can be cast and retrieved just like a brushfly. Once you have the right pattern, you will be well on your path to catching tarpon.
When fishing for tarpon, you should use a medium-heavy spinning reel and a long, medium-heavy rod. Waszczuk recommends braided 40-50 pound lines. 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. Try baits that resemble mullet or bunker if you are fishing for tarpon. The colors vary depending on where you find them.
