If you are looking for artificial lures to catch tarpon, this is the place to be. We have already covered the 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 is different, but each one works well.
X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
If you are looking to catch tarpon by using artificial lures, you will likely use a mullet imitation. However, you're going to have to fish a little differently in the open waters 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 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 your bait seem like an easy meal to the Tarpon.
This red-white, bunker-colored mullet makes a great choice for deep-water fishing. This bait buster is small and hollow, which makes it easier to hook up. The hook is designed to be placed on top of the tarpon, allowing it to flutter along with it as it swims. When fishing in deep water, try using this bait when you're fishing in slow-water conditions.

The Double Barrel Popper produces a massive sound and a big bubble trail. This lure is tied with either a natural or synthetic tail and a molded foam head.

You should fish for tarpon with a medium-heavy spinning and long rod. Waszczuk recommends braided, 40-50-pound line. The weight of your tarpon will determine the line you use. Add a fluoroleader (or a leader) to your terminal end. Slowly work your bait with the tip. Try baits that resemble mullet or bunker if you are fishing for tarpon. The colors of these baits will vary depending where they are located.
