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, MirrOlure 77M twitch bait, and 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
A mullet imitation is a good choice if you want to catch tarpon using artificial lures. In open water, however, you will have to fish slightly differently than you would in 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 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 appear like a tasty 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. This bait is best for fishing in deep waters.
Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper
Dr. The Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper is 8 inches in length and made from heavy-duty plastic. This lure is also known as the "D.O.A Shrimp," and it is an all-around great lure that's the best choice for tarpon. This lure can catch large and small tarpon.
Double Barrel Popper creates a loud, clear sound and big 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've chosen the right type of pattern, you're well on your way towards 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. You can choose the weight of line according to the size of your tarpon. Add a fluoroleader (or a leader) to your terminal end. Slowly work your bait with the tip. You can fish for tarpon in shallower waters by using baits that resemble bunker or mullet. The color of the bait will vary depending on where they are found.
MirrOlure77M is a twitch bait
MirrOlure 77M shad twitchbait for tarpons, bluefishes, snook, and jack is great. Available in several eye-catching patterns, these twitch baits sink to several feet. This bait has an irresistible darting motion for fish. Several natural colors and patterns are available to choose from.
This twitchbait has a suspending action and can be submerged for up 36 inches. This tarpon bait is not meant to be fished in one lure. It should be used slowly and with a steady retrieve. The hot tiger colour, also known in Cuba as the Tropical color, is ideal for tarpon at night or under low light conditions.

It is very effective with hooks and has a sinking action when it is stationary. This bait works well in clear water and can be fished on the beach or near a dock.
