Fishing for arapaima can get very frustrating. You see numerous monsters come to the surface gulping air. However, you try everything in your tackle box but cannot get a bite. Only recent trip to Bolivia, we had success using bait and artifical lures. Once an arapaima is spotted casting lures such as the Jackall Gantia or the River2Sea S Waver can produce good results.

Arapaima get easily spooked so lure placement is essential. Others prefer to rig bait on a circle or strong J hook with or without a float. Either a strong wire, fluorocarbon, or heavy mono leader is needed to prevent the arapaimas sharp teeth from cutting through.
So, on your next trip to the jungle hunting giant arapaima consider both artificial and bait.
