X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
Mullet imitations are a great choice for catching tarpon with artificial lures. However, you're going to have to fish a little differently in the open waters 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 look like a simple meal for the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored mullet is a good choice for deep-water fishing. The bait buster's small hollow body allows for better hookups. The hook allows it to sit on the top lip of tarpon and flutter as it swims. This bait is best for fishing in deep waters.

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.
