Seaguar Gold Label Fluorocarbon Leader is not only thinner, it's even less visible underwater than all other fluorocarbon leaders.  You also get the advantage of more natural presentations and better catch-rates on finicky fish. Made with our exclusive double-structure process, we combine two custom Seaguar fluorocarbon resins to create a leader with smaller diameters yet with exceptional knot and tensile strength. It’s softer as well and cinches easily for fail-safe knots.

Features:

• 18% Thinner Diameter
  
• 17% Better Knot/Tensile Strength
  
• Extremely soft and supple and cinches easily for fail-safe knots
  
• Lowest Line Memory, making line management more user friendly
  
• 100% Fluorocarbon Leader
  
• Double Structure Fluoro
  
• Level Wind Technology
  
• Spool Length: 50 Yards
  

A stickbait lives or dies on whether an average angler can make it walk. The Espetit is built so it does — the taper and balance do most of the work, so you get a clean side-to-side glide without the wrist rhythm a lot of walking baits demand.

Short version: floating topwater stickbait in five sizes from 70mm to 140mm. Walk-the-dog and sliding action, twin cavities that pull bubbles down with the bait, and an internal rattle — with a silent version if the rattle is working against you.

What Makes It Different

• Dual cavities — the bait drags air down as it darts, leaving a bubble trail alongside the surface disturbance. Two signals instead of one.
• Internal rattle tuned to a specific frequency, adding sound to the visual and the bubbles.
• Floats at rest — the pause holds it in the strike zone instead of dropping out of it, and the pause is where most stickbait fish commit.
• Aerodynamic profile for distance, which matters when fish are boiling out of reach or you're covering a flat from the beach.
• Five sizes spanning bass-sized finesse to full pelagic profiles.

Rattle or Silent?

The White N Flash (Silent) is not a color variation — it's a rattle-free version of the bait, currently offered in 95mm.

Reach for the silent when fish are heavily pressured, the water is very clear and calm, or the rattling version has been getting follows and refusals. Sound is an attractant right up until it isn't, and on flat mornings a quiet bait sometimes gets eaten by the same fish that just refused a loud one. Take the rattle version everywhere else — chop, wind, stained water, and any time you need to call fish from a distance.

Which Size

We're confirming the 110mm's published weight and hook size with Fishus and will fill those in once verified — we'd rather show a blank than a guess. Call the shop and we'll weigh the one in the case.

Freshwater and Saltwater

The Espetit came out of the European seabass scene, which is why it casts and behaves the way it does — wind, chop, and long distances were the design brief.

Freshwater: 70mm and 95mm for largemouth and smallmouth, particularly on clear pressured lakes where a walking bait needs to be smaller than the standard.

Saltwater: the 125mm and 140mm are legitimate surface options for calico bass over structure, and for bonito and barracuda when they're feeding on top. The distance is the argument — boiling fish are usually further away than you'd like.

Fishing It Around Santa Clarita

Topwater windows on the local lakes move week to week. We publish Castaic Lake fishing reports with current conditions — worth checking before you decide it's a surface day.

Picking a Color

Colors offered vary by size. The selector above is the live list.

Recommended Gear

• Rod: moderate action with a forgiving tip. Stiff rods rip trebles out of fish on surface strikes — the single most common way anglers lose topwater fish.
• Line: braid to a fluorocarbon or mono leader. Braid gives you the direct connection to work the walk; the leader gives you abrasion resistance and a little stretch.
• Avoid heavy fluorocarbon straight through — it sinks and pulls the nose down, fighting the bait's float.

Pro Tips from the Tackle Express Crew

• Slack line makes it walk. Twitch into slack, not into tension. A tight line pulls the bait straight and kills the side-to-side.
• Use the pause. It floats for a reason. Let it sit after a blow-up and miss — fish routinely come back for a bait that's sitting still.
• Wait to feel weight before you set. Setting on the splash pulls it out of the fish's mouth.
• Try the silent version on flat mornings. Same bait, one fewer signal. Sometimes that's the difference.

Common Mistakes

• Working it on a tight line. The bait needs slack to turn.
• Too stiff a rod. Costs you fish on every strike.
• Setting on sight. Wait for the weight.
• Undersizing for saltwater. A 95mm on calicos over structure will get bit — the #6 trebles are the limiting factor, not the bait.

What's Included

One Fishus Espetit in the size and color selected, factory rigged with trebles. No spare hooks or split rings included.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between White N Flash and White N Flash (Silent)?
The silent version has no internal rattle. Same body, same action, one fewer signal — for pressured fish and flat, clear conditions. Currently offered in 95mm.

Which size should I start with?
95mm for freshwater bass and general use. 125mm if you're fishing saltwater surface for calicos, bonito, or barracuda.

Does it float?
Yes. It holds position on the pause instead of sinking out, which is where a lot of the bites come from.

How do I make it walk?
Twitch the rod tip into slack line, not into tension. The bait needs slack to turn — pulling tight drives it straight.

Can I use it in saltwater?
Yes — the Espetit was developed for European seabass. Rinse the hardware after every trip like any other saltwater lure.

What rod and line?
Moderate action with a forgiving tip, braid to a fluorocarbon or mono leader. Avoid heavy fluorocarbon straight through; it sinks and fights the bait's float.

Why are some sizes offered in fewer colors?
Fishus doesn't produce every colorway in every size. The selector shows what's actually available.

HOW TO STORE

Our Vertrex Vibes are made from TPE Ultra-Tough Material. Like most other plastics on the market, it’s important not to store two different types of plastics together as they can cause a chemical reaction, which can deform the plastics.

Below are some tips for storing your TPE-based Nomad Design lures:
- Where possible, store your TPE lure in the original packaging or within the Nomad Vertrex Storage Box – these are the safest options.
- If you prefer to store your lure in a tackle box, ensure that the tackle box is “worm proof” Worm proof boxes are specifically designed not to react with soft plastic materials.
- Do not store TPE lures with non-TPE lures.

REMEMBER: You can store TPE products of the same brand altogether, but they must be kept separate from other branded TPE products and non-TPE plastics.

Legendary Southern California Surface Iron Performance

The Tady A1 Light Surface Iron with Single Fixed Hook is a legendary fish-catching machine with decades of proven success on Southern California and Baja pelagics. Hand-crafted in the USA with meticulous attention to detail, this iconic surface iron delivers the perfect combination of weight, shape, and action for working the classic surface retrieve that triggers explosive strikes from tuna, yellowtail, dorado, and other aggressive pelagics.

Specifications

Premium Design and Construction

• Hand-Crafted in USA: Each jig is individually made with quality control that ensures consistent performance
• Single Fixed Hook Design: Welded single hook provides superior hookup ratio and reduces tangles compared to treble hooks
• Light Surface Weight: Optimized weight for excellent casting distance and ideal surface swimming action
• Proven A1 Shape: Legendary profile that has produced countless trophy fish for generations of West Coast anglers
• Durable Chrome Finish: Classic chrome plating provides maximum flash and withstands saltwater punishment
• Premium Hook: Heavy-duty single hook ensures solid hookups and secure connections during the fight

Classic Surface Iron Technique

The Tady A1 Light excels with the time-tested surface iron retrieve that Southern California anglers have relied on for decades. Cast the iron to feeding fish or working birds, let it sink briefly, then retrieve with a rhythmic rod-pumping action that creates an erratic swimming motion. The light weight allows for excellent casting distance while maintaining the perfect swimming action that mimics a fleeing baitfish. The chrome finish creates intense flash that attracts fish from a distance and triggers reaction strikes from aggressive feeders.

Single Hook Advantages

The fixed single hook design offers distinct advantages over traditional treble hooks: better hookup ratio with fewer missed strikes, reduced tangles during casting and fighting fish, easier unhooking for quick releases, and improved action as the jig swims more naturally without the drag of multiple hook points. The welded construction ensures the hook stays secure even during battles with trophy-class pelagics.

Built for West Coast Pelagics

Whether you're targeting yellowfin and skipjack tuna on offshore banks, working kelp beds for yellowtail, casting to dorado around kelp paddies and floating debris, pursuing bonito and barracuda in feeding frenzies, or searching for roosterfish along Baja coastlines, the Tady A1 Light delivers consistent results. The lighter weight makes it ideal for calm to moderate conditions and situations where fish are actively feeding near the surface.
