Saltwater Fishing Tackle & Gear

Hookup Baits Medium Jigs are a 3" tube jig pre-rigged with a 1/8oz or 1/4oz jighead in a pack of three. The Hookup Baits have been proven to catch the hard to catch bass and trouts in the lake all the way to the SoCal finicky Bluefin on micro-bait.

There are many ways to fish the hookup bait but casting it out and letting it fall on a tight line will pendulum it down in an arc.  This can be very effective since it allows the bait to swim as it falls.  This is effective when fish are suspended in the column and not on the top or bottom.

If fish are on the bottom, we like to let it sink to the bottom and pop it off the bottom and then allowing it to sink back down.  Continue this retrieve all the way back to the boat or shore.

If they are in the upper part of the column, cast and start retrieving soon after the lure hits the surface.  Most of the time a slow and steady retrieve works best but you can also burn it on the surface for very active surface feeding fish.

Tie a Hookup Bait on and see what method works best for you.  The bottom line is these baits get bit on salt and fresh water fish.

Versatile All-Around Performance 

The Salas 6X Jr Yo-Yo Iron Jigs represent the sweet spot in the Salas lineup, delivering versatile performance across a wide range of conditions and target species. Hand-crafted in Southern California with the meticulous quality that has made Salas legendary for over 50 years, the 6X Jr provides the ideal balance of weight, casting distance, and swimming action for serious West Coast pelagic fishing from kelp beds to offshore banks.

Proven Design and Construction

• Hand-Crafted in USA: Each jig is individually made in Southern California with quality control that ensures consistent performance
• Versatile Weight Profile: Perfect mid-range weight for most conditions and target species
• Optimized Balance: Precisely weighted for excellent casting distance and ideal swimming action
• Durable Chrome Finish: Classic chrome plating delivers maximum flash and withstands saltwater punishment
• Premium Treble Hook: Sharp, strong hook handles everything from schoolies to trophy-class fish

Classic Yo-Yo Effectiveness

The 6X Jr excels with the time-tested yo-yo retrieve that West Coast anglers have relied on for generations. Cast the iron to feeding fish or working birds, let it sink to the desired depth, then retrieve with a rhythmic pumping action that creates an erratic darting motion. The versatile weight makes it effective in a wide range of conditions—light enough for finesse presentations when fish are picky, yet heavy enough to reach distant boils and work moderate depths. The chrome finish creates intense flash that attracts fish from a distance and triggers reaction strikes.

All-Around Versatility

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 in feeding frenzies, fishing for barracuda along the coast, or searching for roosterfish in Baja waters, the 6X Jr delivers consistent results. The mid-range weight makes it the ideal choice when you're not sure what conditions you'll encounter or when targeting multiple species in a single trip.

The Go-To Choice

Many experienced West Coast anglers consider the 6X Jr their go-to surface iron because it handles the widest range of situations effectively. It's light enough to work well in calm conditions with picky fish, yet heavy enough to cast into the wind and reach deeper-feeding pelagics. This versatility makes it an essential jig for party boats, private vessels, and kayak anglers who need one iron that does it all. From San Diego to Cabo San Lucas, the 6X Jr has proven itself as a reliable producer across decades of West Coast fishing.

Experience the versatile performance that makes the 6X Jr a staple in tackle boxes throughout the West Coast. The Salas 6X Jr Yo-Yo Iron isn't just another jig—it's the all-around performer that handles whatever conditions and species you encounter.

Cover all your bases with Salas 6X Jr Yo-Yo Iron Jigs—where versatility meets proven performance.

Heavy-Duty Performance for Trophy Pelagics

The Salas 7X Jr Surface Iron Jigs deliver the extra weight and casting distance needed to reach distant boils and work deeper water for trophy-class tuna, yellowtail, and dorado. Hand-crafted in Southern California with the same meticulous attention to detail that has made Salas a legend on the West Coast, the 7X Jr provides the perfect balance of size and weight for targeting larger pelagics while maintaining the erratic swimming action that triggers explosive strikes.

Proven Design and Construction

• Hand-Crafted in USA: Each jig is individually made in Southern California with quality control that ensures consistent performance
• Heavier Weight Profile: Extra weight provides maximum casting distance and gets down to feeding fish faster
• Optimized Balance: Precisely weighted for ideal swimming action and long-distance accuracy
• Durable Chrome Finish: Classic chrome plating delivers maximum flash and withstands the punishment of hard-fighting pelagics
• Premium Treble Hook: Heavy-duty hook handles aggressive strikes from trophy-class fish

Classic Yo-Yo Technique

The 7X Jr excels with the time-tested yo-yo retrieve that West Coast anglers have relied on for generations. Cast the iron to distant boils or working birds, let it sink to the desired depth, then retrieve with a rhythmic pumping action that creates an erratic darting motion. The heavier weight allows you to reach fish that lighter irons can't, while the proven shape ensures the jig swims perfectly through the water column. The chrome finish creates intense flash that attracts fish from a distance and triggers reaction strikes from aggressive feeders.

Built for Trophy Fish

Whether you're targeting bluefin and yellowfin tuna on offshore banks, working kelp beds for trophy yellowtail, casting to dorado around floating debris and kelp paddies, pursuing wahoo in Baja waters, or searching for roosterfish along the coast, the 7X Jr delivers the performance serious pelagic anglers demand. The heavier weight is ideal for windy conditions, long-distance casting situations, and working deeper water where bigger fish often hold.

West Coast Heritage

Salas surface irons have been catching trophy pelagics for over 50 years, earning legendary status in tackle boxes from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas. The 7X Jr continues this proud tradition, combining proven design with hand-crafted quality that serious offshore anglers trust. From long-range sportfishing boats to private vessels, the 7X Jr has proven itself on countless trophy fish and remains a go-to choice when conditions demand extra casting distance and the ability to reach deeper-feeding pelagics.

Experience the proven performance that generations of West Coast anglers have relied on for trophy fish. The Salas 7X Jr Surface Iron isn't just a heavier jig—it's a specialized tool designed to help you reach and catch the fish that others can't.

Land trophy pelagics with Salas 7X Jr Surface Iron Jigs—where extra weight meets proven performance.

When the yellowtail aren't on the surface — when they're holding deep on a hard-bottom spot off the back side of Catalina, stacked on a bank out of Point Loma, or pinned to structure at the Coronados — you stop throwing surface iron and you drop the 6X. This is the yo-yo iron West Coast anglers have trusted for decades to get down to the fish and trigger a reaction bite on the way back up.

The 6X is built to sink fast and stay true on a hard, fast retrieve. You drop it to the bottom (or to the meter marks where the fish are showing), then crank it back up as fast as you can turn the handle — that's the "yo-yo." The 6X's profile holds its swimming action even at that speed instead of spinning out, which is exactly what makes a deep yellowtail commit. When they're being lazy down there, a fast, fleeing 6X is what changes their mind.

Hand-cast and hand-painted by Matt Salas right here in Southern California, every 6X comes out a little different. The slight finish and weight variations aren't flaws — they're the mark of an iron built one at a time by someone who actually fishes it. Don't expect factory-perfect paint. Expect a jig that catches fish.

Where it shines

• Deep yellowtail holding on hard bottom, banks, and high spots
• Yo-yo fishing the back side of Catalina, the Coronados, and offshore banks
• Reaction bites on fish marked deep that won't come up for surface iron
• Bonito, barracuda, and tuna that crash a fast-cranked iron

Rigging notes: Yo-yo iron demands a fast, high-capacity reel and a stout rod to move fish out of structure — fish it on 40–65 lb depending on how deep and how heavy the spot is. Heavier line and a faster retrieve are your friends down deep. Hook is pre-attached — ready to fish out of the package.

Made in Southern California. Proven from San Diego to Cabo.

When yellowtail are boiling around a kelp paddy off Catalina, pushing bait along the Channel Islands kelp lines, or chasing sardines through the La Jolla canyons, the Salas 7X is what goes on first. This is not a trendy jig — it's been earning its spot in SoCal tackle bags for over 50 years because it does exactly what a surface iron needs to do: casts a country mile, lands flat, and swims with a side-to-side kick that drives yellowtail crazy.

At 3.5 oz and 6.5 inches, the 7X sits in a sweet spot that works equally well on the iron rods of a full-day sportboat or off the bow of a private boat drifting into a Baja kelp paddy. The offset hips give it a slower, wider kick than a straight-body iron — critical when yellows are being picky or water temps are running on the cooler side. When the fish want a fast burn, you can speed it up. When they want it lazy, you can slow it down. Few surface irons are this versatile.

Hand-cast and hand-painted by Matt Salas right here in Southern California, every 7X comes out slightly different — that's not a flaw, it's the point. The imperfect finishes and slight weight variations are part of what gives this jig its character on the water. Don't expect flawless factory paint. Expect a fish-catching iron built by someone who actually fishes.

Where it shines

• Yellowtail around Catalina and the Channel Islands kelp structure
• Kelp paddy fishing from La Jolla to Ensenada and beyond
• Coastal kelp forest edges when fish are pushing bait to the surface
• Baja sessions targeting yellowtail, dorado, and tuna on the iron

Rigging notes: Fish it on 30–50 lb fluorocarbon depending on conditions. In clear, calm water off Catalina or the islands, drop to 30–40 lb for more natural action. In Baja or around structure, don't be afraid to go heavier. Hook is pre-attached — ready to fish out of the package.
