Saltwater Jigs and Irons

Precision-Engineered for High-Current Conditions

The Shimano Current Sniper Jigs are purpose-built to excel in challenging high-current environments where traditional jigs struggle to maintain bottom contact and proper action. Featuring Shimano's innovative streamlined design and optimized weight distribution, these specialized vertical jigs cut through current with minimal resistance while delivering the erratic action needed to trigger strikes from deep-dwelling predators in fast-moving water.

Hydrodynamic Design for Current Control

• Streamlined Profile: Aerodynamic body shape cuts through current with minimal resistance, allowing you to maintain bottom contact with less weight
• Optimized Weight Distribution: Precisely balanced for stable descent and controlled action even in strong current
• Compact Design: Reduced surface area minimizes current drag while maintaining fish-attracting profile
• Fast-Sinking Action: Gets to the strike zone quickly and stays there in challenging conditions

Premium Construction and Finish

• Durable Coating: High-quality finish withstands repeated strikes and contact with structure
• Holographic Patterns: Realistic baitfish colors and flash patterns trigger predatory instincts
• Heavy-Duty Assist Hooks: Premium hooks positioned for optimal hookup ratio on aggressive strikes
• Corrosion-Resistant Hardware: Saltwater-tough components handle harsh offshore environments
• Multiple Size Options: Range of weights to match current conditions and target depth

Built for High-Current Environments

Whether you're fishing deep-water wrecks with ripping current, working offshore structure in tidal flow, targeting rockfish on current-swept reefs, pursuing snapper and grouper on deep ledges with strong bottom current, or jigging for amberjack and yellowtail where current makes fishing difficult, the Current Sniper delivers the performance you need. The streamlined design lets you use lighter jigs than traditional designs, reducing fatigue while maintaining bottom contact and proper action.

Versatile Jigging Techniques

The Current Sniper excels with both speed jigging and slow-pitch techniques in current. For speed jigging, the streamlined profile allows rapid vertical movement with minimal current resistance. For slow-pitch applications, the optimized weight distribution creates an enticing flutter and fall even when current is pushing the jig. The compact design also makes this jig effective for drift fishing over structure, where maintaining bottom contact in current is critical for success.

Why Current-Fishing Specialists Choose Current Sniper

Professional captains and serious vertical jigging enthusiasts choose the Current Sniper because it solves the fundamental challenge of fishing in current: maintaining bottom contact and proper jig action when water is moving fast. The hydrodynamic design cuts through current efficiently, letting you fish lighter weights that are easier to work all day while still reaching and staying in the strike zone. The premium construction ensures reliable performance trip after trip, even in the most demanding offshore conditions.

Experience the difference that specialized design makes when fishing in current. The Shimano Current Sniper isn't just a vertical jig—it's a precision tool engineered to help you succeed when current makes fishing challenging.

Conquer high-current conditions with Shimano Current Sniper Jigs—where hydrodynamic design meets deadly effectiveness.

The Tady 45 Surface Iron is the go-to for surface presentations and situations where fish are feeding on baitfish like sardines and mackerel.  This surface iron provides the perfect combination of size and action for matching sardines, small mackerel, and other baitfish that pelagics often target. The 45's lighter weight and moderate profile make it ideal for calm conditions and picky fish.

Premium Design and Construction

• Compact Profile: Smaller size matches smaller baitfish for finesse presentations
• Long Casts:  Not the smallest surface iron but not the biggest, this industry standard casts long distances so you can cover more water.
• Light Surface Weight: Ideal for calm conditions and situations requiring subtle presentations
• Proven Tady Shape: Legendary profile scaled down for finesse applications
• Durable Chrome Finish: Classic chrome plating provides maximum flash and withstands saltwater punishment
• Premium Hook: Sharp, strong hook sized appropriately for the compact profile

Classic Surface Iron Technique

The Tady 45 excels with the time-tested surface iron retrieve. Cast the iron to feeding fish or working birds, let it sink briefly, then retrieve with a straight wind which creates an erratic swimming motion all on it's own. The lighter weight and smaller profile create a more subtle presentation that's ideal when fish are feeding on smaller baitfish or when they're being selective. The compact size also makes it easier to cast when using an 8'-9' jig stick.  Pair it with 30-40 pound monofilament and a great casting reel and you have the ultimate combo.

Built for Finesse Situations

Whether you're targeting yellowtail feeding on sardines, working for bonito and skipjack in calm conditions, pursuing calico bass with lighter tackle, casting to picky tuna that won't hit larger irons, or fishing any situation where a smaller profile triggers more strikes, the Tady 45 delivers consistent results. The compact size is especially effective in calm water when fish can see larger jigs more clearly and become selective about what they'll strike.

Tady Heritage and Quality

Tady has made legendary irons in Southern California for generations, and the 45 represents Tady's commitment to providing the right tool for every fishing situation. By scaling down the proven Tady profile, they created a jig that excels when conditions and fish behavior demand a more finesse approach. From party boats to private vessels, the Tady 45 has proven itself as an essential finesse tool for serious Southern California anglers.

Experience the finesse performance that selective fish demand. The Tady 45 Surface Iron isn't just a smaller jig—it's a specialized tool for situations where subtle presentations make the difference.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the Tady 45 weigh?
The Tady 45 weighs approximately 2.8oz - 3.2oz. Slight variation is normal with cast metal surface irons.

What line should I use?
For a traditional surface-iron setup, use 30–40 lb monofilament. You can also fish braid with a 30–40 lb mono or fluorocarbon leader, but mono is popular because its stretch helps keep hard-fighting fish pinned.

What fish does it catch?
The Tady 45 is a proven choice for yellowtail, bluefin and yellowfin tuna, bonito, barracuda, calico bass, and white seabass—especially when fish are keyed in on sardines or small mackerel.

How fast should it be retrieved?
Use a steady medium-to-fast retrieve that makes the jig swim with a wide side-to-side kick without spinning. Every iron swims a little differently, so adjust your speed until the lure has a strong, consistent action.

Tady 45 vs. Tady 4/0 Sr.: which should I choose?
Choose the Tady 45 for a smaller, lighter presentation when fish are feeding on compact bait or acting picky. Choose the larger Tady 4/0 Sr. when you want a bigger profile, more casting weight, or extra presence in wind, current, and rougher water.

What are the best colors for yellowtail and tuna?
For yellowtail, proven choices include Mint White, Scrambled Egg, Green Yellow, and Dorado-style patterns. For tuna, start with baitfish colors such as Mint Silver, Blue White, Chrome Blue, and sardine patterns. Match the local forage and light conditions; bright or high-contrast colors can help in low light, while natural silver and blue patterns are excellent in clear water.

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.

• Any situation requiring a fast-sinking, compact profile jig

Why Tungsten Outperforms Lead

• 1.74x Denser Than Lead: Same weight in a dramatically smaller, more compact profile that mimics small baitfish
• Faster Sink Rate: Reaches depth quickly, minimizing time in the water column and maximizing fishing time
• Reduced Line Drag: Compact profile cuts through strong currents for precise control and better bottom contact
• Enhanced Vibration: High-density construction transmits high-pitch vibrations for instant strike detection
• Hookless Design: Customize with your preferred assist hooks for maximum versatility across conditions

Tackle Express Tips:

• Attach the JF Jigging Assist Hooks in 5/0 to the tie point of the jig.  Use a split ring and solid ring configuration increase hookup rate and less line failures.
• Use metered braided line so you know the depth you're fishing.  Listen closely to how deep the captain says the fish are and match that depth with the metered 100ft per color line. 
• If you're dropping the jig in open water and it stops, you're bit so start turn the handle until the rod loads up.  Whatever you do, don't swing the rod you'll pull the lure out of the fishes mouth.

Available Colors

Note: Does not come with hooks. Customize with your preferred assist hook setup.

Fast-Sinking Finesse for Vertical Presentations

The Tady Lure 9 Iron delivers a thinner, more streamlined profile than traditional surface irons for faster sinking and finesse presentations. Hand-crafted in the USA with meticulous attention to detail, this specialized iron features a narrower body design that reduces drag and gets down to the strike zone quickly, making it ideal for vertical jigging, deep-water fishing, and situations where a fast-sinking profile triggers more strikes.

Premium Design and Construction

• Hand-Crafted in USA: Each jig is individually made with quality control that ensures consistent performance
• Thinner, Narrower Profile: Streamlined design compared to A2 and AA models for reduced drag and faster sink rate
• Fast-Sinking Action: Gets down to deep-feeding fish quickly and maintains vertical presentation
• Compact 4.75" Length: Ideal size for matching smaller baitfish and finesse presentations
• Lightweight 3.3 oz: Perfect weight for vertical jigging and yo-yo retrieve
• Durable Chrome Finish: Classic chrome plating provides maximum flash and withstands saltwater punishment
• Premium Hook: Sharp, strong hook ensures solid hookups on aggressive strikes

Versatile Fishing Techniques

The Tady 9 excels with vertical jigging and yo-yo retrieve techniques. The thinner profile allows the jig to fall faster through the water column with less drag, getting down to deep-feeding fish quickly and maintaining a more vertical presentation. This makes it ideal for working deep structure, fishing in current where you need to maintain bottom contact, and situations where fish are holding deep and won't chase a slower-falling jig. The streamlined design also works well for finesse presentations when fish are picky or pressured.

Built for Multiple Species

Whether you're targeting yellowtail on deep structure, working yo-yo iron for calico bass around kelp and rocks, fishing for white seabass on deep reefs, pursuing rockfish and lingcod on vertical structure, or targeting any species that responds to a fast-sinking vertical presentation, the Tady 9 delivers consistent results. The thinner profile is especially effective when fish are feeding on smaller baitfish like anchovies or when a more subtle presentation triggers more strikes.

Tady Heritage and Quality

Tady has been hand-crafting legendary irons in Southern California for generations, earning a reputation for quality and innovation. The 9 Iron represents Tady's commitment to creating specialized designs for specific fishing situations. By reducing the profile compared to traditional models, Tady created a jig that excels in deep water, current, and finesse situations where a faster sink rate and more vertical presentation make the difference between success and frustration.
