If you are looking for artificial lures to catch tarpon, this is the place to be. We've covered the X-Rap Twitchin' Mullet, 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
Mullet imitations are a great choice for catching tarpon with artificial lures. But, in open water you'll need to fish slightly differently to saltwater. Your bait should be suspended ten to fifteen yards in front of the fish, and you will need to slowly work it with a series twitches. Morris recommends alternating a one-second stop with a three-second rest, then switching to a one/two count if your retrieve is erratic. This will make your bait seem like an easy meal to the Tarpon.
Deep-water fishing is easy with this red-white bunker-colored Mullet. The bait buster's small hollow body allows for better hookups. The hook sits on the top of tarpon's lips and will flutter as it moves. This bait is best for fishing in deep waters.
Dr. Dr.
Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper has a length of 8 inches and is made from tough plastic. This lure, also known to be the "D.O.A Shrimp", can be used to catch tarpon. This lure can catch large and small tarpon.
The Double Barrel Popper produces a massive sound and a big bubble trail. This lure has a molded body and a synthetic or natural 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've chosen the right type of pattern, you're well on your way towards catching 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 pick the weight of your line according to the size and shape of your Tarpon. To hook, add a fluoroleader at the terminal end of the line. Then slowly use the tip of the rod to move your bait. Baits that resemble bunker, mullet and other baits are good for fishing for tarpon in shallow waters. The colors can vary depending on where they're found.

MirrOlure 77M shad twitchbait works well for tarpon, bluefish and snook. These twitchbaits are available in many eye-catching colors and sink to several feet. This bait has an irresistible darting motion for fish. There are many options for natural colors and patterns.

This twitch bait also works great on jack crevalle and cubera snapper.
MirrOlure 77M can be used to cast and trolling for tarpon. It is made of ABS and has a UV protective finish. It can withstand many water conditions and is versatile and extremely effective. This lure stands out because of its holographic reflective features.
X-Rap 3-inch 1/4 ounce clear jig
The X-Rap is a great clear jig for tarpon fishing. Capt. Jim prefers this bait to fish inshore waters. It is a great bait with excellent hooks, and it sinks when stationary. This bait is excellent in clear water. It can be fished along the shore or at a dock. It is also useful in brackish and shallow rivers. For these situations, the gold or pilchard colours are excellent.
The TerrorEyz 3 inch 1/4 ounce clear jig is another clear jig for sight casting. The bait is stocked with glitter specs in order to catch juvenile Tarpon. It looks great in clear water and is made with real shrimp. This bait is still effective in catching tarpon, even though it is soft plastic.
