DaHo Reverse Latch Threading Needles

(10)

$19.99

The Only Needle Built the Way a Latch Was Meant to Work

The DaHo Reverse Latch Threading Needle was developed in collaboration with Jerry Brown — a pioneer in hollow spectra fishing line technology — to solve a problem that every serious offshore rigger has run into: standard latch needles damage hollow spectra. Traditional latch needles were adapted from fabric knitting machines and must be pushed into the line, causing the latch to open inside the hollow core and shred the fibers. The DaHo Reverse Latch Needle is designed to be pulled through the line, keeping the latch closed under internal line pressure. It's the only tool on the market that uses the latch mechanism the way it was originally designed to function.

The Fiber Damage Problem

Every time a standard latch needle is pushed through hollow spectra, the latch opens inside the line and catches on the fibers. Over time — and sometimes immediately — this weakens the splice point. For offshore applications where your leader connection is the last thing standing between you and a trophy fish, a compromised splice is a compromised rig. The reverse latch design eliminates this entirely: the latch trails behind as the needle is pulled through, staying closed the whole time.

What Standard Needles Can't Do

Beyond protecting fibers, the DaHo Reverse Latch Needle has a capability no standard loop splicing needle can match: the latch can open and release the held line mid-splice. This is critical for loop creation and advanced splicing techniques where the line must be released by the tool while still threaded through another line. Attached to DaHo's standard 6" needle body, it also enables longer loops and splices than the short latch needles of the past allowed.

The Right Pick If...

You splice hollow spectra or hollow braid for offshore leaders and connections
You've had standard latch needles damage or fray your line during splicing
You need to create loops or perform mid-splice releases that standard needles can't execute
You're rigging heavy-duty connections in the 60#–300# range
You want a professional-grade tool that works correctly, not a workaround

Best Fishing Techniques

Hollow-to-Hollow Splicing: The pull-through design makes clean, fiber-safe connections between hollow spectra sections
Loop Creation: The releasable latch allows proper loop formation without the tool getting stuck mid-splice
Leader Connections: Use to bury mono or fluoro leaders inside hollow spectra for a smooth, low-profile connection that passes through guides cleanly
Wind-On Leaders: Essential for building wind-on leader systems used in big-game and long-range offshore fishing

Best Conditions

Any offshore or inshore application using hollow spectra or hollow braid mainline
Heavy-duty rigging for big-game species where splice integrity is non-negotiable
Long-range and tournament fishing where professional-grade connections are expected
Any situation where a standard latch needle has previously caused fiber damage or splice failure

Best For

Applications: Wind-on leaders, hollow-to-hollow splices, loop connections, leader burial
Line Types: Hollow spectra, hollow braid (Jerry Brown, Momoi, Sufix 832 Hollow, etc.)
Line Ranges: Small (60#–130#), Medium (80#–200#), Large (130#–300#)
Anglers: Offshore big-game, long-range, tournament, and serious inshore riggers

Key Features

Pull-Through Latch Design — latch stays closed under line pressure, protecting hollow spectra fibers
Releasable Latch — opens to release held line mid-splice when needed
6" Needle Body — enables longer loops and splices than traditional short latch needles
Latch Always Trails — correct orientation for pull-through use, no guesswork
3 Sizes Available — Small, Medium, and Large covering 60# to 300# spectra
Sold Individually

Models & Specs

Model	Size	OD	Spectra Range
RL0355	Small	.0355" / .90mm	60# to 130#
RL0420	Medium	.042" / 1.06mm	80# to 200#
RL0500	Large	.050" / 1.27mm	130# to 300#

Tackle Express Tips

Size up when in doubt: If your line falls in the overlap zone between sizes (e.g., 130# sits in both Small and Large ranges), go with the larger needle. A slightly oversized needle is easier to work with than one that's too tight and risks tearing fibers.
Keep the latch trailing: The reverse latch only works correctly when the latch end is the trailing end as you pull through. If you're getting resistance or fiber catch, check your orientation before forcing it.
Use a loop of mono to pull: For tight splices, thread a short loop of stiff mono through the needle eye and use it as a pull handle. It gives you more control and reduces hand fatigue on long splicing sessions.

FAQ

What makes the DaHo Reverse Latch different from a standard latch needle?
Standard latch needles are pushed through hollow spectra, which causes the latch to open inside the line and damage fibers. The DaHo Reverse Latch is pulled through, keeping the latch closed under line pressure the entire time. It's the only needle on the market designed to work this way.

Which size should I choose?
Match the needle to your line's pound test: Small (RL0355) for 60#–130#, Medium (RL0420) for 80#–200#, Large (RL0500) for 130#–300#. If your line falls in an overlap range, size up. The Medium is the most versatile option for general offshore rigging.

Can I use this needle with non-hollow braid?
No — this needle is designed specifically for hollow spectra and hollow braid. Solid braid has no internal channel for the needle to pass through. For solid braid connections, you'll need a different rigging method.

Kicker Pickle Kick PK-3 Soft Swimbait — 3 Inch

(2)

$10.99

When the bait in the water is small, five inches of swimbait is the wrong answer. Inside harbors and bays, spotted bay bass are keyed on little stuff most of the year, and a big profile gets looked at and refused.

Short version: 3", 0.35 oz, three to five baits per pack, the weedless on a 1/0 or 2/0 hook. The smallest bait in the Pickle Kick line, the cheapest per bait, and the only size where one pack builds one complete umbrella rig.

Where It Earns Its Keep

Harbors and bays — the primary use. Spotted bay bass on the bottom around structure, docks, and rock walls.
Skinny water and calm conditions, where a heavy bait lands too hard and a light one can be crawled.
When you're getting followed but not bit. Fish tracking a bigger bait and turning off is a size problem more often than a color problem.
Umbrella rig arms for harbor fishing — five small profiles reads like a real bait ball inside the bay. See below.
Freshwater largemouth and smallmouth, where a 3" paddle tail is a year-round confidence size.

Building an umbrella rig from scratch?

Our crew wrote a photo-by-photo guide covering the arm bend, keel weighting, bait sizing by location, and how to keep five arms of hooks out of every other rod in the rack.

Read the full umbrella rig setup guide →

Rigging It

Match a 1/0 or 2/0 hook to the body — considerably smaller than what the PK-5 takes, so don't reach into that box. Run the point up through the belly so it sits flush in the slot. On a body this size, a hook that's even slightly oversized will bind the bait and kill the tail.

Keep the head light. A 1/4 oz head is the general-purpose pairing for harbor bottom work; drop to 1/8 oz in shallow calm water. The whole reason to fish a 3" bait is a slow, natural fall — too much lead and you've thrown that away.

Picking a Color

Inside harbors the water is usually working against you, so contrast matters more than pattern detail:

Conditions	What to reach for
Clear harbor water	Natural and translucent baitfish tones — smelt, minnow, and bone patterns.
Green or stained water	Green-brown bodies that hold a silhouette against the bottom.
Dirty water and low light	High-contrast and solid colors. Profile beats detail once visibility drops.
Fish on crab or shrimp	Craw and mottled patterns worked slowly along the bottom.

Pro Tips from the Tackle Express Crew

Size down before you change color. When fish are following and refusing, the profile is usually the problem. This is the bait you drop to.
Fish it on the bottom, slowly. Harbor spotties are a bottom-contact fish. Drag, pause, and let it sit longer than feels right.
Don't reuse your PK-5 hooks. A 4/0 in a 3" body binds the bait and kills the action. 1/0 or 2/0.
At five per pack, buy the color you'll fish all day. One pack covers a full umbrella rig or a full session of singles.

Common Mistakes

Too much head weight. The slow fall is the entire advantage of a 3" bait. A heavy head throws it away.
Oversized hook. The most common rigging error on this size, and it stops the tail dead.
Fishing it in open water where the bait is big. This isn't the outer-island bait — that's the PK-5.
Retrieving it like a 5" bait. Faster doesn't help. Bottom contact and pauses do.

What's Included

Five PK-3 swimbaits per pack, in the color selected. Hooks, jig heads, and the umbrella rig are sold separately. One pack rigs a complete five-arm umbrella rig.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many baits come in a pack?
Five.

What hook size does the PK-3 take?
1/0 or 2/0. Much smaller than the PK-5's 4/0–5/0 — an oversized hook binds the body and kills the tail.

How many packs do I need for a five-arm umbrella rig?
One. Five baits, five arms. It's the only Pickle Kick size where the math is exact.

PK-3 or PK-5?
PK-3 inside harbors, bays, and skinny water where the bait is small. PK-5 for open water, boiler rock, and the outer islands. If fish are following your bigger bait and refusing it, drop to the PK-3.

What jig head weight should I use?
1/4 oz for general harbor bottom work, 1/8 oz in shallow calm water. Keep it light — a slow fall is the point of this size.

Is it weedless?
Yes, when the hook point sits flush in the body slot. That's what lets it come through structure without loading up.

Can I use it in freshwater?
Yes. A 3" paddle tail is a year-round size for largemouth and smallmouth on the same slow, bottom-contact presentations.

What are the Aftco colors?
A collaboration series between Kicker and Aftco. Same body and same specs — the difference is the color pattern.

Gear That Goes With It

Warbaits Neck Breaker Swing Head — 1/8 oz and 1/4 oz are the weights for this bait.
Kicker PK-Rig Umbrella Rig — five-arm rig with quick clips.
Kicker Pickle Kick PK-5 — the everyday 5" open-water size.
Kicker Pickle Kick PK-7 — the big-profile option.
Kicker Booty Spin — same family with a spinning blade instead of a paddle tail.

Spro Flappin Frog 65

(7)

~~$13.99~~ $12.31

SPRO Flappin Frog 65 gives bass anglers a topwater frog they can buzz across the surface or slow down around a promising opening. Its legs kick with slight forward movement, so you can change pace without changing baits. A floating elastomer body lets you stop it after a missed strike and give a fish another look.

Keep the Legs Working

Some days bass react to a fast, noisy retrieve; other days they want the frog walked back more slowly. The Flappin Frog is made for both approaches. Its Gamakatsu 4/0 Nano Smooth Coating double frog hook supports a weedless presentation around cover, while the TPE body is designed for durability. The real advantage is being able to experiment with speed and pauses on the same cast.

The Right Pick If...

You want a 65 mm topwater frog with kicking-leg, buzzing action for freshwater bass fishing. Choose it for moving surface presentations and the option to stop after a missed bite. For a popping presentation instead, compare the SPRO Bronzeye Popper Frog 60; for a smaller popper profile, see the Bronzeye Baby Popper 50.

Best For

Topwater bass fishing around vegetation and cover.
Buzzing retrieves with the legs kicking across the surface.
Slower walks and pauses when fish follow or miss the bait.

Key Features

65 mm length and 5/8 oz weight, as stated in the existing listing.
Floating TPE elastomer body.
Kicking legs that create buzzing topwater action.
Gamakatsu 4/0 Nano Smooth Coating double frog hook.
Twelve listed color options.

Models & Specs

Model	Length	Weight	Hook
Flappin Frog 65 (all listed colors)	65 mm	5/8 oz	Gamakatsu 4/0 Nano Smooth Coating double frog hook

How to Fish It

Cast past the cover you want to work and bring the frog across the surface so the legs kick and buzz. Vary the speed, then stop it near an opening or after a missed strike. Around thick vegetation, match it with a suitable frog setup; SPRO Bronzeye Braid 8X Moss Green is another line option to consider.

Tackle Express Tips

Start with a steady retrieve, then slow down if fish follow without taking it.
Pause near gaps in cover to give a fish time to come back.
Check the legs and hook for weeds after each pass through vegetation.

FAQ

What size is the Flappin Frog 65? The listing states 65 mm and 5/8 oz.

Can I pause it after a missed strike? Yes. Its floating body lets you stop the bait and try to draw a follow-up bite.

What hook does it use? The existing specifications list a Gamakatsu 4/0 Nano Smooth Coating double frog hook.

Lead Masters Fluke Heads - 2-Pack

(4)

~~$6.49~~ From $5.84

The Lead Masters Fluke Head is a purpose-built jig head for presenting large soft plastics and natural baits with a stable, controlled action across inshore, nearshore, and deeper water applications. The 8/0 hook is sized for large flukes, paddle tails, and soft swimbaits, with a corrosion-resistant finish that holds up in saltwater environments. The integrated bait keeper locks soft plastics securely in place through repeated casts and retrieves without tearing or sliding down the shank. Available in four weights (1/2–2 oz) and five colors including Glow. 2 per pack.

Key Features

8/0 Hook — Large Soft Plastic Sizing — The 8/0 hook is sized for large flukes, paddle tails, and soft swimbaits in the 5–8" range; the wide gap geometry provides clearance for the hook point to penetrate through thick soft plastic bodies on the hookset; corrosion-resistant finish for extended use in saltwater environments without rust or degradation.
Integrated Bait Keeper — The bait keeper is molded into the shank to lock soft plastics securely in place through repeated casts, retrieves, and strikes; prevents the bait from sliding down the shank and bunching at the bend — a common failure point with standard jig heads that lack a keeper; keeps the bait presentation straight and natural throughout the retrieve.
Balanced Lead Body — Stable Presentation — The lead body is balanced to ensure a stable, horizontal bait presentation on the fall and retrieve; the balanced design keeps the hook point oriented correctly and the bait tracking true without rolling or listing — critical for a natural fluke or swimbait presentation that triggers strikes from sight-feeding fish.
Four Weight Options — 1/2 oz to 2 oz — Available in 1/2 oz, 3/4 oz, 1 oz, and 2 oz to match a wide range of depth and current conditions; lighter weights (1/2–3/4 oz) for shallow inshore fishing and slow presentations, heavier weights (1–2 oz) for deeper water, stronger current, and faster sink rates needed to reach the strike zone efficiently.
Five Colors Including Glow — White, Orange, Red, Chartreuse, and Glow; standard colors for matching common baitfish and triggering reaction strikes in a range of water clarity conditions; Glow for low-light, deep water, and night fishing where luminescent jig heads provide a visibility advantage that standard colors cannot match.
2 Per Pack — Two jig heads per pack; provides a backup when fishing heavy cover or structure where snags and losses are common.

Size Selection Guide

Weight	Best Application
1/2 oz	Shallow inshore, slow sink rate, light current, 10–20 ft
3/4 oz	Moderate depth, medium current, versatile inshore/nearshore
1 oz	Deeper water, stronger current, nearshore structure
2 oz	Deep water, heavy current, offshore and deep nearshore applications

Color Guide

White — Most versatile color for matching anchovy, sardine, and white baitfish; effective in clear to lightly stained water across all light conditions; the go-to color for White Seabass, Halibut, and inshore species keying on white baitfish.
Glow — Luminescent glow finish for low-light, deep water, and night fishing; charges under UV or ambient light and emits a visible glow in dark or deep water conditions where standard colors lose visibility; most effective at depth and during dawn, dusk, and night fishing when light penetration is minimal.
Orange — High-visibility orange for stained water and low-light conditions; orange tones provide contrast and visibility in off-color water where white and natural colors lose effectiveness; effective attractor color for a wide range of inshore and nearshore species.
Red — Red for triggering reaction strikes; red jig heads are effective in a wide range of conditions and are particularly effective when fish are keying on injured or bleeding baitfish; red tones also provide high contrast in green-tinted inshore water.
Chartreuse — High-visibility chartreuse for stained water and low-light conditions; one of the most effective jig head colors for inshore fishing in off-color water; chartreuse provides maximum visibility in turbid water where other colors become invisible.

Best For

White Seabass & Halibut — The 8/0 hook and large fluke head profile are well-suited for White Seabass and Halibut presentations with large soft plastic flukes and swimbaits; White and Glow colors for clear water White Seabass fishing, heavier weights (1–2 oz) for deeper water Halibut presentations.
Inshore Soft Plastic Fishing — Integrated bait keeper and balanced lead body for presenting large soft plastic flukes, paddle tails, and swimbaits to inshore species; the stable horizontal presentation triggers strikes from sight-feeding inshore fish that key on a natural baitfish profile.
Nearshore & Deeper Water — 1 oz and 2 oz weights for nearshore structure fishing and deeper water applications where heavier jig heads are needed to reach the strike zone in current and at depth; Glow color for deep water and low-light nearshore fishing.
Night Fishing — Glow color for night fishing where luminescent jig heads provide a visibility advantage; charge the Glow head under a UV light or flashlight before fishing for maximum glow intensity and duration.

BKK Split Ring-51

(1)

~~$6.99~~ $6.29

BKK Split Ring-51 gives your lure and hook connections a cleaner, more dependable link. These stainless steel split rings are precision forged and tempered to balance strength with elasticity, then chemically polished to smooth the edges and help protect line and terminal tackle from abrasion.

Whether you are rebuilding a hard bait after a long day of casting or refreshing the connection on a saltwater trolling lure, the right split ring keeps the rest of the rig working as intended. With listed options from 30 lb through 400 lb, you can match the ring to the lure, hook, and technique instead of forcing one size to do everything.

Why the Connection Matters

Standard hardware can rust, develop rough edges, or flex when the lure is working hard. The Split Ring-51 is built for wet fishing conditions where corrosion resistance, smooth finishing, and controlled elasticity matter. The tradeoff is simple: choose the correct size for your setup and use split-ring pliers for a clean, secure installation.

Where It Fits Best

Techniques: casting, trolling, jigging, and replacing lure-to-hook connections.
Conditions: saltwater, brackish water, and freshwater applications where terminal tackle is exposed to spray or repeated wetting.
Best for: hard baits, plugs, jigs, replacement treble hooks, and general lure hardware upgrades.

Key Features

High-quality stainless steel construction.
Precision forged and tempered for strength and elasticity.
Chemically polished finish that smooths angles and helps reduce line damage.
Listed strength options from 30 lb to 400 lb.
Product SKU: D-SP-1010.

Size 9	200 lb	10
Size 10	300 lb	9
Size 10+	400 lb	7

Tackle Express Tips

Match the ring to the lure and hook size, not just the target species. Oversized hardware can change lure action.
Use split-ring pliers and check that the ring closes fully after installation.
Rinse terminal tackle with fresh water after saltwater use and replace any ring that shows distortion or rough edges.

Build the Connection

Pair replacement rings with BKK Viper-61 Treble Hooks or BKK Raptor-Z Treble Hooks when refreshing a hard bait. For lure setups, see the Submission Fishing Jigs Mercenary.

FAQ

What are BKK Split Ring-51 rings used for?
They connect lures, plugs, jigs, and replacement hooks while providing a smooth, corrosion-resistant stainless steel connection.

Which size should I choose?
Choose the listed strength and physical size that suit the lure and hook connection. The available options run from 30 lb to 400 lb, so smaller rings fit lighter terminal tackle while larger rings suit heavier setups.

Do these split rings work in saltwater?
Yes. The stainless steel construction and chemically polished finish are suited to saltwater, brackish, and freshwater use. Rinse them with fresh water after saltwater trips.

Large Bait Keeper Barb — Scampi & Soft Bait Security — The large barb molded into the head locks scampi plastics, grubs, and soft baits securely in place; prevents the bait from sliding down the hook shank during the drop, retrieve, and on the hookset — a critical feature when fishing heavy scampi plastics and large soft baits at depth where re-rigging is time-consuming; also keeps live bait and frozen bait (squid, sardines) secured on the hook.
Premium CAD Tin Hooks — Corrosion Resistance — CAD (cadmium) tin hooks provide corrosion resistance in saltwater environments; the tin finish protects the hook from rust and oxidation during extended saltwater exposure; premium hook quality maintains point sharpness over multiple fishing trips without the rapid degradation of standard plated hooks in saltwater.
Hook Size Matched to Weight — Hook size scales with jig weight across the full range: 1/0 for 3/8–1/2 oz, 5/0 for 3/4–3 oz, 8/0 for 4 oz, 10/0 for 6–12 oz, and 12/0 for 16–24 oz; the hook gap is properly matched to the scampi or soft bait size at each weight for reliable hooksets on Rockfish, Lingcod, and Halibut.
Glow Versions — Deep Water & Low-Light Rockfish — Available in 6, 8, and 12 oz Glow for deep water rockfish fishing where luminescent jig heads provide a visibility advantage in the dark conditions below 100 ft; charge the Glow head under a UV light or flashlight before dropping for maximum glow intensity and duration at depth.
Wide Weight Range — 3/8 oz to 24 oz — The full weight range covers inshore halibut fishing (3/8–1 oz in shallow water) through deep water rockfish and lingcod fishing (4–24 oz in 100–400+ ft of water with strong current); the 16 oz and 24 oz sizes are purpose-built for deep water rockfish fishing in strong current where lighter heads cannot reach the bottom.

Best For

Rockfish — Scampi & Grub Presentations — The primary application; rig a scampi plastic or single-tail grub on the Scampi Lead Head and drop to the bottom in rockfish territory; the large bait keeper barb keeps the scampi secured through repeated drops and retrieves; use heavier weights (4–24 oz) for deep water rockfish in 100–400+ ft of water, Glow versions for deep water where light penetration is minimal.
Lingcod — Larger hook sizes (8/0–12/0) and heavier weights (4–24 oz) for Lingcod presentations with large scampi plastics and swimbaits; Lingcod are aggressive bottom predators that respond well to large profile baits presented on the bottom in rocky structure.
Halibut — Lighter weights (3/8–1 oz) with 1/0 and 5/0 hooks for halibut presentations with scampi plastics and grubs in shallow to mid-depth water; the bait keeper barb keeps the scampi secured during the slow, bottom-dragging retrieve that is most effective for halibut.
Live Bait & Frozen Bait — The large bait keeper barb also secures live bait and frozen bait (squid, sardines) on the hook for bottom fishing presentations; effective for any bottom species that responds to bait-tipped jig head presentations.

Keitech Swing Impact Fat 2.8"

~~$6.99~~ $6.29

SPRO Phat Fly Hair Jig 2PK

(2)

~~$5.49~~ $4.65

The SPRO Phat Fly Hair Jig 2PK gives float-and-fly fishing a compact, easy-to-control presentation for bass, crappie, panfish, and trout. Fish it beneath a bobber, with a split shot, or fly lined on light 4- or 6-pound line. You can swim it with a steady retrieve or make it rise and fall with the rod tip, so one small jig covers several finesse presentations.

Each package includes two Phat Fly hair jigs. Choose from 1/16 oz and 1/8 oz sizes in five color patterns to match the depth, pace, and profile you want to show the fish.

Why This Little Jig Gets Invited Along

The Phat Fly is built for anglers who want a small lure that can be presented at a controlled depth or worked through the water column. Its compact hair-jig profile is equally at home under a float, ahead of a small split shot, or on a light line with no added weight.

When a Small Profile Needs More Life

A tiny jig can be difficult to keep in the strike zone if it only moves one way. The Phat Fly gives you multiple ways to change the presentation: a straight wind for steady movement, a bobber for depth control, or a lift-and-drop retrieve that sends the jig up 12–24 inches before it falls back through the water.

Built for Finesse Presentations

Float-and-fly fishing for bass, crappie, panfish, and trout
Bobber rigs when you want to suspend the jig at a chosen depth
Split-shot presentations when you want a little extra weight
Fly-line fishing on light 4- or 6-pound line
Straight-wind retrieves for steady movement
Lift-and-drop retrieves with a 12–24 inch rod-tip lift

The Right Pick If...

You want one small jig that works with a float, split shot, or no added weight.
You fish light line and need a compact presentation for multiple freshwater species.
You like changing the lure's depth and cadence instead of committing to one retrieve.
You want a two-jig pack with bass, bluegill, shad, ghost, and chartreuse-inspired color options.

What It Does Best, and When to Choose Something Else

The Phat Fly shines when finesse, depth control, and a subtle moving target matter more than maximum casting distance or heavy bottom contact. Its 1/16 oz and 1/8 oz sizes are made for light-tackle presentations. If you need a lure for heavy cover, deep fast current, or a power-fishing retrieve, choose a heavier setup instead.

How to Fish It

For a float-and-fly presentation, suspend the jig beneath a bobber and adjust the depth until the bait is traveling where fish are holding. Add a split shot when you need the jig to get down more quickly, or fly line it on 4- or 6-pound line for a clean, natural fall.

Start with a steady retrieve when fish are willing to chase. When they need a slower presentation, raise the rod tip quickly 12–24 inches and let the jig fall back down before repeating the motion. The combination of lift, pause, and fall gives you an easy way to vary the cadence without changing lures.

Best Conditions

Reach for the Phat Fly when you want to keep a small hair jig suspended, moving lightly through the water, or falling on light line. Use 1/16 oz for the most delicate presentation and 1/8 oz when you want a little more weight for depth control or a quicker fall. Let the target species, depth, and desired retrieve determine the color and size.

Tackle Express Tips

Set the bobber depth first, then change retrieve speed before changing colors. The Phat Fly is designed to let you control both depth and cadence.
On a lift-and-drop retrieve, lift the rod tip 12–24 inches and let the jig fall all the way back before repeating the motion.
Keep 4- or 6-pound line in mind when building the rig. The light line keeps this small presentation working as intended.

FAQ

What species can I catch with the SPRO Phat Fly Hair Jig?
It is suited to bass, crappie, panfish, and trout, especially when a compact freshwater presentation is the right fit.

Can I fish the Phat Fly under a bobber?
Yes. It was designed for float-and-fly fishing and can also be used with a split shot or fly lined on 4- or 6-pound line.

What is the best retrieve?
Start with a straight wind, then try a lift-and-drop retrieve. Raising the rod tip 12–24 inches and letting the jig fall back down gives you a simple way to add height and pause to the presentation.

Complete the Setup

Build a light-tackle system around the Phenix Elixir Series Ultralight Spinning Rods, or add a compact alternative such as the Lead Masters Mini Tube Jigs. For another small-profile option, compare the Phat Fly with the Basstrix Mini Trix 1.5-inch Soft Plastic Minnow.

Pick the size that matches your depth, choose a color that fits the forage or visibility you want, and let the Phat Fly's light presentation do the searching.

Salas 7X Jr Heavy Yo-Yo Iron Jig

(1)

From $10.49

The Salas 7X Jr Heavy is 4.8 oz in a 5 3/8" body — longer and slimmer than the 6X Jr, lighter than the 7X Heavy, and purpose-built for the moderate-depth, moderate-current situations that neither of those irons handles as well. It's the middle of the Salas yo-yo lineup in both profile and weight: enough length to produce a distinctive flutter on the drop, enough weight to reach and hold depth without blowing out in average current conditions. When the bite is happening between 40 and 100 feet and the forage is mid-sized, the 7X Jr Heavy is usually the right call.

The Slim Profile Advantage

The 7X Jr's longer, slimmer body creates a different action than the shorter, stouter 6X Jr. Where the 6X Jr swims tight and compact, the 7X Jr has more side-to-side flutter on the drop — a wider, more erratic sink that triggers strikes from fish that are watching but not fully committed. This makes it particularly effective in clear water and bright conditions where fish have more time to inspect the lure before committing. The same profile that makes the 7X Light effective as a surface iron translates on the yo-yo at moderate depths.

Hand-Cast in Southern California

Like all Salas irons, the 7X Jr Heavy is hand-cast in California. Six colors cover the core conditions: sardine and mint patterns for clear water, Scrambled Egg for overcast and low light, Blue and White for anchovy-forage days, and Chrome for high-visibility flash in bright sun.

The Right Pick If...

You're fishing 40–100 ft and want more flutter on the drop than the shorter 6X Jr provides
Baitfish are mid-sized — larger than the forage that calls for the 6X Jr but not big enough to warrant a full-size 7X Heavy
Current is moderate and lighter iron is reaching the zone without blowing out
Fish are in clear water and need a wider, more natural-looking flutter to commit
You want a yo-yo iron that matches the profile of the 7X Light you're already fishing on the surface

Best Fishing Techniques

Standard yo-yo — count to depth, crank fast and drop; the slim body creates a wide flutter on the fall that triggers reaction strikes
Slow flutter retrieve — crank a few turns and pause; the 7X Jr plane-glides on slow descents, effective when fish are following but short-striking
Near-surface yo-yo — at 4.8 oz it's light enough to work effectively in the top 40 ft when fish are pushed up but not fully on the surface
Iron casting — the slim profile casts well; can be worked with a medium-paced retrieve near the surface when fish are up

Best Conditions

Moderate depth: 40–100 ft
Light to moderate current where heavier iron isn't needed
Clear water conditions where flutter action and profile matter
Mid-sized bait conditions — larger sardines, small mackerel, medium anchovies

Best For

Yellowtail — moderate depth and clear-water conditions
White seabass — when keyed on mid-sized forage at depth
Calico bass — near structure in 40–80 ft
Bluefin and yellowfin tuna — when fish are mid-column and not fully up

Key Features

Weight: 4.8 oz
Length: 5 3/8"
Hand-cast in Southern California
6 color options covering sardine, mint, anchovy, and chrome patterns
Slim flutter profile — wider drop action than the 6X Jr; lighter than the 7X Heavy
Rigged with split ring; add your preferred single hook or assist

Color Guide

Color	SKU	Best Conditions
Mint	SALAS-7XJR-HVY-MNT	Clear water; bright sun
Mint Sardine	SALAS-7XJR-HVY-MNTSRD	Clear water; sardine forage
Scrambled Egg	SALAS-7XJR-HVY-SCRAMEGG	All-around producer; overcast and low light
Blue and White	SALAS-7XJR-HVY-BLUWHTE	Anchovy forage; clear blue water
Mint White	SALAS-7XJR-HVY-MNTWHT	Bright conditions; clear water; sardine mix
Chrome	SALAS-7XJR-HVY-CRM	High visibility; bright sun; clear water flash

Tackle Express Tips

The 7X Jr Heavy's flutter action is most effective when you give it time on the drop — don't rush the retrieve. Let it sink a full count past the fish on the meter before cranking. Fish that are watching will often commit during the sink, not the crank.
For hook setup, a 4/0–5/0 Owner Stinger Siwash on the tail split ring is the standard local rigging. The slim profile of the 7X Jr makes a shorter assist hook a good option too — it reduces tail fouling on the cast and gives more hook exposure on the strike.
Chrome is underutilized on the 7X Jr. On high-sun days in clear water when fish are visible on the surface or in the top 20 ft, a Chrome 7X Jr cast into the school and worked with a fast erratic retrieve will draw reaction strikes from fish that ignore slower sardine patterns.

FAQ

What's the difference between the 7X Jr Heavy and the 6X Jr Heavy?
Both weigh 4.8 oz but have different body profiles. The 6X Jr is shorter (4 5/8") and stouter — a compact, tight-action iron best for small bait conditions and situations where you want a shorter stroke. The 7X Jr is longer (5 3/8") and slimmer — a wider flutter action better suited to mid-sized forage and clear-water conditions where the lure gets more inspection time. Choose the 6X Jr when bait is small; choose the 7X Jr when you want more flutter and a longer profile.

How does the 7X Jr Heavy relate to the 7X Light?
Same 5 3/8" body, very different weight. The 7X Light is 2.1 oz and designed for surface and near-surface fishing. The 7X Jr Heavy is 4.8 oz for yo-yo and mid-column work. If you're fishing both surface and yo-yo on the same trip, the 7X Light and 7X Jr Heavy let you cover both scenarios with the same lure profile.

Does the 7X Jr Heavy come with a hook?
No — Salas irons ship with a split ring only. Add your preferred single hook (Owner Stinger Siwash 4/0–5/0 is the local standard) or a short assist hook for yo-yo applications.
