This will make the bait appear easy to the Tarpon.

How To
How to Perfectly Cast a Fishing Rod
When casting a fishing rod, the first thing to do is use your wrist to pull the handle towards the water. The rod should be held at a slight angle from the body so that the line is parallel to the ground. As you move the rod forward, ensure that the rod tip is perpendicular with the water's surface. The fish won't eat if the tip touches water's surface sooner than the line reaches bottom. This technique will increase the distance between the rod's tip and the water surface.
Here are some tips for casting a rod if you're not confident yet.
First, hold the rod as close to your chest as possible. By doing this, the rod will move in the right direction and you won't have to bend.
Second, when casting a heavy rod, you may want to set up a tripod on the shoreline or on a rock ledge. This will allow you to secure the rod while still holding the reel.
A third option is to buy a smaller reel than an expensive one. A cheaper spinning reel will let you cast farther distances and help you improve your hand-eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder might be another option. These holders can hold your rod securely while keeping it upright. They're easy to store away after use and protect the rod from getting damaged.
Fifth, practice casting until the motion becomes natural. It takes time to master the art of casting a fishing rod.
Sixth, patience is the key to successful fishing. Waiting for the right moment is crucial. Once the strike occurs, you must work hard to reel in the fish.
