The most versatile Tady yo-yo iron

The Tady Lure AA Iron is a proven Southern California jig at about 3.6 oz and 4¾ inches with a treble hook. It's a little lighter than the Tady A2, which makes it the most versatile iron in the Tady yo-yo group: drop it to fish holding below the surface, or cast it out and wind it back when they come up. Hand-crafted in the USA.

Why the Tady AA earns a place in the tackle box

• Proven AA shape: A long-time West Coast favorite for yellowtail and calico bass.
• 3.6 oz, 4¾-inch body: Enough weight to reach mid-depth fish, light enough to cast and wind.
• Yo-yo or cast: One iron for fish below the surface and fish that come up.
• Treble hook: The traditional iron hook setup.
• Chrome and painted finishes: Match the bait, light and water clarity.
• Hand-crafted in the USA: Built with the consistency expected from Tady Lures.

How to fish the Tady AA

• Yo-yo: Drop to the depth where fish are marking, engage the reel and wind fast and steady back through the strike zone.
• Cast and wind: When fish come up, cast past them and wind steadily with the rod tip down. Don't pump the rod; the iron creates its own action.
• Around structure: Work it along kelp edges, rocky reef and banks where yellowtail and calico bass hold.

Best for

• Species: Yellowtail, calico bass, bonito, barracuda and white seabass.
• Water: Kelp beds, rocky reef, offshore banks and open-water feeding zones.
• Use case: One mid-weight iron when conditions can change during the day.

Specifications

• Brand: Tady Lures
• Model: AA Iron
• Type: Yo-yo and casting iron jig
• Weight: Approximately 3.6 oz (varies slightly by finish)
• Length: 4¾ in.
• Hook: Treble

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Tady AA weigh?

About 3.6 oz depending on the finish, with a 4¾-inch body.

What's the difference between the AA and the A2?

They're the same length, but the A2 is heavier at roughly 4–4.3 oz. The A2 gets down faster and handles more current. The lighter AA is more versatile and can also be cast and wound.

What's the difference between the AA and the Tady 9?

The Tady 9 has a fuller body and a slightly shorter 4½-inch length, so it flutters more softly on the drop. The AA is slimmer and the more versatile of the two.

Can I fish the AA on the surface?

Yes. Cast it and wind it back when fish come up. For fish feeding on top all day, a dedicated surface iron such as the Tady 45 is the standard choice.

Which color should I start with?

Start with Blue White year-round, Scrambled Egg when fish are on sardines or in greener water, and match the finish to the bait and water clarity.

P-Line Laser Minnow has a very distinctive fall which triggers a bite from a wide variety of fish.  Simply drop it down and either wind it back at a fast pace, or pop the rod tip up and down. 

It can also be cast and retrieved like a spoon or surface iron.  Simple wind it back at a steady retrieve, too fast and it will wash out.  Too slow and it will have a lazy wander to it.

The finish is holographic and has a realistic eye to fool hungry fish into biting.  Putting a snap on the tie point will give it better action allowing it to more freely move through the water.  You can take off the stock hook and rig it with a single hook or assist hooks from the top or bottom ring.  Tying to the side with the eye and putting the assist hooks on the same side will help prevent snags when fishing the bottom.

When You Need to Go Deeper and Hit Harder

The Nomad Tackle Streaker Jig 420g is the heaviest jig in the Streaker lineup — purpose-built for extreme depth, heavy current, and the kind of big-game targets that demand serious hardware. At 15 oz, it drops fast, stays vertical in strong current, and delivers the same erratic, darting action that makes the Streaker series so effective. When the fish are holding at 300, 400, or 500+ feet and lighter jigs can't reach the zone, the 420g gets the job done.

Built for the Conditions That Break Other Jigs

Extreme depth and big fish are a brutal combination. The 420g Streaker is engineered to handle both. Gorilla Through-Wire construction runs a full wire through the entire body, so even a 100 lb bluefin can't pull the hook hardware free. Triple Shield Protection finish resists corrosion and chipping through repeated drops and hard strikes. And the BKK 5X Assist 5/0 hooks are heavy-duty enough to handle whatever you're targeting. This is a jig you can trust when the stakes are high.

Why Heavy Wins at Depth

At extreme depths, lighter jigs lose their action — current pushes them off angle, they take too long to reach the strike zone, and by the time they get there the school has moved. The 420g Streaker cuts through current, sinks fast, and maintains a vertical presentation even in heavy drift conditions. More time in the zone means more bites, and more bites at depth means more fish in the boat.

The Right Pick If...

• You're fishing 200–600+ ft for bluefin, yellowfin, or large amberjack
• Current is strong and lighter jigs won't stay vertical
• You need maximum sink rate to reach fish before the school moves
• You're targeting trophy-class fish that require heavy-duty hooks and construction
• You're on a long-range trip where depth and current are constant challenges

Best Fishing Techniques

• High-Pitch Jigging: Fast, sharp upward rod strokes with a quick drop — the Streaker's erratic flutter on the fall triggers strikes even at extreme depth
• Speed Jigging: Continuous medium-to-fast retrieve with the rod tip low — keeps the jig swimming tight and aggressive through the water column
• Vertical Jigging: Drop to depth, engage, and work back up with varied cadence — most effective when fish are stacked tight on structure or bait

Best Conditions

• Deep water: 200–600+ ft
• Heavy current where only a 420g+ jig maintains a vertical presentation
• Offshore seamounts, deep structure, and open-water bait schools
• Clear to moderate visibility — natural patterns like Blue Sardine and Crimson Tide shine here
• Low-light and deep conditions — glow variants (Rasta Glow, Full Glow Pink, Silver Glow Stripe, Glow Pink Mackerel) are standout producers

Best For

• Species: Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Yellowtail, Large Amberjack, Wahoo
• Techniques: High-pitch jigging, speed jigging, vertical jigging
• Scenarios: Long-range offshore trips, extreme deep-water structure fishing, heavy-current conditions

Key Features

• Streaker Swim Action — erratic, darting movement that triggers reaction bites at extreme depth
• Gorilla Through-Wire Construction — full-body wire for maximum strength on trophy-class fish
• Triple Shield Protection — multi-layer finish resists corrosion and chipping
• BKK 5X Assist 5/0 Hooks — heavy-duty premium hooks fitted from the factory
• Fast-Sink Design — long, slender profile with slightly flat back for maximum sink rate
• 8 Color Options — natural baitfish patterns and glow variants for all conditions and depths

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Match your rod to the weight: A 420g jig needs a rod rated for heavy jigging — look for a stick rated 300–500g or a dedicated speed jigging rod. Using an undersized rod kills the action and risks breakage on a big fish.
• Go glow first: At the depths the 420g is designed for, natural light is minimal. Start with Rasta Glow, Full Glow Pink, or Glow Pink Mackerel and charge them with a UV light between drops. Switch to natural patterns if glow isn't producing.
• Watch your line angle: Even at 420g, strong current can push your line off vertical. If your angle exceeds 30–40 degrees, reposition the boat or add more weight. A diagonal presentation dramatically reduces the jig's effectiveness.

FAQ

How does the 420g compare to the 200g and 320g Streaker?
The 420g is the top of the Streaker lineup — built for the deepest water, strongest current, and largest fish. Use the 200g for depths under 150 ft, the 320g for 150–300 ft in moderate current, and the 420g when you're pushing 300+ ft or dealing with heavy drift.

What rod and reel setup should I use with the 420g Streaker?
Look for a heavy jigging rod rated 300–500g paired with a high-speed jigging reel (6:1+ gear ratio). Spool with 80–100 lb braid and run a 100–150 lb fluorocarbon leader. For toothy species, go heavier on the leader.

What's Rasta Glow and when should I use it?
Rasta Glow is a multi-color glow pattern that combines green, red, and yellow tones with a glow finish. It's a standout producer in low-light conditions and at extreme depth where natural light doesn't reach. It's one of the most popular colors in the 420g lineup for a reason.

Built for the Deep End of the Water Column

The Nomad Tackle Streaker Jig 320g is the heavier sibling in the Streaker lineup — built for anglers who fish deep, fast, and hard. At 11 oz, it cuts through current and reaches depth quickly, getting into the strike zone before the school moves. The long, slender profile with a slightly flat back creates an erratic, darting action that triggers reaction strikes from predators that won't commit to anything slow. When the fish are holding deep and the bite window is short, the 320g Streaker is the jig you reach for.

When the 200g Isn't Enough

Strong current, deep structure, and big fish demand more weight. The 320g Streaker sinks faster, stays down in heavy current, and handles the kind of drag pressure that comes with targeting large yellowtail, bluefin, and amberjack. The extra mass also gives you more authority on the hookset — critical when you're fishing 200+ feet down with a long braid run. If you've been losing fish or struggling to stay vertical in current, stepping up to the 320g is often the fix.

What Standard Wire Gets Wrong

Big fish don't give you second chances. Standard jig construction can fail at the hook hardware when a large fish runs hard — the body separates and the fish is gone. Nomad's Gorilla Through-Wire construction runs a full wire through the entire body, so even the most violent strikes and runs can't pull the hardware free. Paired with Triple Shield Protection finish that resists corrosion and chipping, this jig is built to stay in the water and keep producing.

The Right Pick If...

• You're fishing 150–500+ ft for tuna, yellowtail, or amberjack
• Current is strong and lighter jigs won't stay vertical
• You need a fast-sinking profile to reach depth before the school moves
• You're targeting big fish that require heavier hardware and stronger hooks
• You want a jig that matches sardine, mackerel, or larger baitfish profiles

Best Fishing Techniques

• High-Pitch Jigging: Fast, sharp upward rod strokes with a quick drop — the Streaker's erratic flutter on the fall is a key trigger at depth
• Speed Jigging: Continuous medium-to-fast retrieve with the rod tip low — keeps the jig swimming tight and aggressive through the water column
• Vertical Jigging: Drop to depth, engage, and work back up with varied cadence — effective when fish are stacked on structure

Best Conditions

• Deep water: 150–500+ ft
• Strong current where heavier jigs maintain a vertical presentation
• Offshore structure, seamounts, and open-water bait schools
• Clear to moderate visibility — natural patterns like Sardine and Blue Sardine shine here
• Low-light and deep conditions — glow variants (Full Glow Pink, Pink Glow Mackerel, Silver Glow Stripe) excel

Best For

• Species: Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Yellowtail, Amberjack, Wahoo, Mahi-Mahi, Large Lingcod
• Techniques: High-pitch jigging, speed jigging, vertical jigging
• Scenarios: Long-range offshore trips, deep-water structure fishing, heavy-current conditions

Key Features

• Streaker Swim Action — erratic, darting movement that triggers reaction bites at depth
• Gorilla Through-Wire Construction — full-body wire for maximum strength on big fish
• Triple Shield Protection — multi-layer finish resists corrosion and chipping
• BKK 5X Assist 5/0 Hooks — premium, heavy-duty hooks fitted from the factory
• Fast-Sink Design — long, slender profile with slightly flat back for quick descent
• 9 Color Options — natural baitfish patterns and glow variants for all conditions and depths

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Stay vertical: At 320g, the Streaker is designed to cut through current — but if you're getting too much angle on your line, move to a heavier rod or adjust your drift position. A vertical presentation is always more effective than a diagonal one.
• Go glow in the deep: Below 200 ft, Full Glow Pink, Pink Glow Mackerel, and Silver Glow Stripe are standout producers. Charge them with a UV light between drops for maximum effect.
• Let the drop do the work: On the freefall, keep slight tension on the line so you can feel the hit — big fish often eat the Streaker on the way down before you even start your retrieve.

FAQ

What's the difference between the 200g and 320g Streaker?
The 320g is built for deeper water, stronger current, and larger fish. If you're fishing under 150 ft in moderate current, the 200g is usually sufficient. Step up to the 320g when depth, current, or target species demand more weight and heavier hooks.

What line and leader should I use with the Streaker 320g?
Most anglers run 65–100 lb braid with an 80–130 lb fluorocarbon leader. Heavier leader is recommended when targeting toothy species like wahoo or when fishing around structure where abrasion is a concern.

Which color should I start with?
Sardine and Blue Sardine are great all-around starting points in clear water. In deeper or darker conditions, go with Full Glow Pink, Pink Glow Mackerel, or Silver Glow Stripe. Crimson Tide and Black Pink Mackerel are solid choices when fish are keyed on darker baitfish.

The Salas O Pop is the widest-body iron Salas makes — 3.2 oz with a concave cupped face that pushes and displaces water on the retrieve. Where a standard surface iron swims side to side on a flat face, the O Pop creates surface commotion: a popping, splashing action that draws fish from distance and triggers strikes from yellowtail, dorado, and surface-feeding pelagics that are looking for a noisy, high-visibility target. It's not a replacement for the 7X Light or 7X Jr — it's a different tool for a different situation, and on the right day it outperforms every conventional surface iron in the box.

The Concave Face Changes Everything

The O Pop's cupped face is what separates it from the rest of the Salas surface iron lineup. On a standard retrieve, the concave face catches water and creates a popping splash with each sweep of the rod or turn of the handle. This surface disturbance does two things: it draws fish from a distance who feel the pressure wave before they see the lure, and it creates a feeding trigger for fish that are keyed on baitfish being pushed or injured at the surface. In flat-calm conditions when a standard iron's subtle action isn't enough to pull fish from depth, or when birds are working and you want to match the commotion of the feeding frenzy, the O Pop is the call.

Hand-Cast in Southern California

The O Pop is hand-cast in California like all Salas irons — individually poured in small runs. Eight colors cover the full range of conditions: sardine and mackerel patterns for forage-matching, Rainbow Sardine and Dorado for offshore and mixed-bait situations, and Scrambled Egg and Mint White for low-light and overcast conditions.

The Right Pick If...

• Fish are on top but the bite is slow and a standard surface iron isn't drawing strikes
• You're fishing in a feeding frenzy or birds are working and you want an iron that matches the surface commotion
• Dorado or other surface-oriented pelagics are in the area and responding to noisy presentations
• Conditions are flat calm and you need a lure that creates its own surface disturbance to draw fish up
• You want a surface iron option that triggers reaction strikes from fish that have seen too many standard irons

Best Fishing Techniques

• Pop-and-pause: Cast, let the iron settle on the surface, then pop with a sharp rod sweep and pause — the concave face throws water on the pop and the iron sits briefly before the next sweep; effective for dorado and yellowtail staged near the surface
• Fast erratic retrieve: Crank fast with the rod tip low to keep the iron working the top 1–2 ft; the cupped face creates a splashing, churning action that triggers reaction strikes from fish already in feeding mode
• Walk the dog: Slow, rhythmic rod tip twitches with controlled slack — the wide body and cupped face make the O Pop walk side to side with more splash than a standard cigar-shaped iron
• Cast into the melee: When birds are working or a school is visibly busting, cast the O Pop into the fray and retrieve fast — the surface commotion matches the feeding energy and draws immediate strikes

Best Conditions

• Flat-calm to moderate surface conditions when fish are visible on top
• Active feeding frenzies — birds working, fish busting, bait being pushed to the surface
• Dorado, yellowtail, and offshore pelagics that are up and looking for noise
• Clear water conditions where the surface splash is visible to fish from depth

Best For

• Yellowtail — surface feeding conditions and situations when standard irons go ignored
• Dorado (mahi-mahi) — aggressive surface feeders that respond strongly to popping presentations
• Bluefin and yellowfin tuna — when busting on top and looking for commotion
• Bonito and barracuda — fast, aggressive surface feeders that react to noise and flash

Key Features

• Weight: 3.2 oz
• Concave cupped face — creates surface splash and water displacement on the retrieve; unique in the Salas lineup
• Widest body in the Salas surface iron lineup
• Hand-cast in Southern California
• 8 color options covering sardine, mackerel, rainbow, dorado, and low-light patterns
• Rigged with split ring; add your preferred treble or single hook

Color Guide

Tackle Express Tips

• The O Pop works best with a rod that has enough tip flex to generate the pop action without snapping the iron out of the water — a moderate-fast 7–8 ft spinning or conventional rod in the 20–40 lb class gives you the right loading to throw water on each sweep without ripping the lure sideways. Too stiff a rod and the pop becomes a jerk; too soft and you lose the sharp snap needed to move water.
• For yellowtail on the surface in flat-calm conditions, try a pop-and-pause cadence with 3–5 second pauses between pops. Let the iron sit still on the surface after each pop — the pause gives staged fish time to commit. Yellowtail will often circle the lure on the pause and strike when it moves again.
• Dorado color tip: Dorado on the surface respond exceptionally well to the Dorado and Rainbow Sardine patterns — both have the yellow-green flash that matches the baitfish dorado are typically eating offshore. If you're in dorado territory with birds working, these are your first two choices before going to a natural sardine pattern.

FAQ

How is the O Pop different from the 7X Light or 7X Jr?
The 7X Light and 7X Jr are standard flat-body surface irons that swim side to side on the retrieve. The O Pop has a concave cupped face that displaces water and creates surface splash — it's closer in concept to a metal popper than a traditional surface iron. Use the 7X series when you want a subtle, swimming presentation; use the O Pop when you want noise, splash, and surface commotion to draw fish from distance or trigger reaction strikes.

What size treble hook works best on the O Pop?
Most local anglers run a #1 or 1/0 treble (Owner ST-36 or similar) on the tail split ring. The wider body means you can slightly upsize the hook compared to the 7X Jr without affecting the lure's action significantly. For dorado and larger yellowtail, a 2/0 treble gives more hook exposure. Single Siwash hooks in 3/0–4/0 also work well and reduce fouling on the cast.

Can the O Pop be yo-yoed?
It's a surface iron — the cupped face creates drag on a vertical retrieve and it won't yo-yo effectively. For yo-yo coverage use the Salas 6X Heavy or 7X Heavy.

The Daiwa Rock Rover is an Inchiku-style jig built around a sleek bullet body design that gets the jig down quickly to the targeted strike zone — critical for bottom-oriented species holding in deep water or strong current. The multiple anchor points provide a selection of rigging options for both slow consistent retrieve and short jerk presentations, while the lifelike octopus skirt and imitation abalone shell eyes deliver a realistic, enticing profile that triggers strikes from rockfish, lingcod, and bottom species. Available in 6 weights from 80g to 200g across 4 colors. 

Key Features

• Inchiku-Style Design — Inchiku jig profile combines a weighted bullet body with an octopus skirt trailer; the body sinks fast to reach the target depth while the skirt pulses and flutters on the drop and retrieve to trigger strikes from bottom-oriented species.
• Bullet Body — Fast Sink Rate — Sleek, aerodynamic bullet body design minimizes water resistance for a fast, direct sink rate; gets the jig to the target depth quickly in deep water and strong current conditions where time-on-bottom is critical.
• Multiple Anchor Points — Multiple hook attachment points on the body provide rigging versatility; configure for slow consistent retrieve (hook at rear anchor point) or short jerk presentations (hook at forward anchor point) to match the target species and technique.
• Lifelike Octopus Skirt — Soft, flowing octopus skirt pulses and breathes with every movement of the jig; mimics the natural movement of squid and octopus — primary forage for rockfish, lingcod, and deep-water bottom species.
• Imitation Abalone Shell Eyes — Realistic abalone shell eye inserts provide flash and a lifelike appearance; adds visual trigger for species that key on realistic prey profiles at depth.
• 2/0 Hook — All Sizes — 2/0 hook across all 6 weight tiers (80–200g); sized for rockfish, lingcod, and bottom species in the target depth range for each weight.
• Slow Presentation Optimized — Inchiku design works best on a slower presentation — slow consistent retrieve or short jerk cadence; the octopus skirt produces maximum action at slower speeds where fast jigs lose their effectiveness.

Product Specifications

Color Guide

• Glow — Glow finish provides visibility in low-light conditions and deep water where ambient light is reduced; effective for night fishing and deep jigging applications where glow is a primary trigger for bottom species.
• Gold — High-flash gold finish; effective in clear water conditions where flash and reflection are primary triggers; natural baitfish imitation in gold tones for rockfish and lingcod.
• Red — High-contrast red finish; effective attractor color for rockfish and bottom species; red tones lose color at depth but the contrast profile remains visible to fish holding near structure.
• Sardine — Natural sardine imitation; realistic baitfish profile effective for species that key on sardine-shaped forage; good all-around color for mixed bottom species in clear water.

Weight Selection Guide

• 80g–100g — Lighter weights for shallower water (60–150 ft) and moderate current; slower sink rate produces more octopus skirt action on the drop; best for rockfish in mid-depth applications.
• 120g–150g — Mid-range weights for moderate to deep water (100–250 ft) and stronger current; balance of sink rate and skirt action for rockfish and lingcod in deeper structure.
• 170g–200g — Heaviest weights for deep water (200+ ft) and strong current; maximum sink rate for getting the jig to the target depth quickly in offshore and deep-water bottom fishing applications.

Best For

• Rockfish — Inchiku design and octopus skirt are among the most effective presentations for rockfish holding on deep structure; slow consistent retrieve keeps the skirt pulsing in the strike zone longer than fast jigs.
• Lingcod — Larger profile and octopus skirt trigger the aggressive strike response of lingcod; heavier weights (150–200g) for lingcod holding in deep structure and strong current.
• Deep Water Bottom Fishing — Bullet body and heavier weights (120–200g) for deep water bottom fishing applications where fast sink rate and time-on-bottom are critical; multiple anchor points allow rigging adjustment for different bottom presentations.

The Catchy Tackle Sea Strike 33 Jig is a heavy brass Raider-style jig built for serious offshore work. At 4oz and 6 inches, it casts a mile and sinks fast to stay deep in the white water — exactly where wahoo and tuna are holding. When you get bit on the troll, immediately drop this jig back into the white water and let it work. The chrome finish with a metallic strip on one side gives it a baitfish flash that triggers reaction strikes.

Built tough with welded rings and a 4X strong single hook, the Sea Strike 33 is a reliable go-to when the fish are up and the bite is on. Available in 10 chrome and gold color combinations.

Key Features

• Heavy brass construction — casts long distances and sinks fast into the white water
• Chrome finish with metallic strip — durable, high-flash baitfish profile
• Raider-style action — proven wahoo and tuna producer on the troll and cast
• Welded rings — heavy-duty hardware for offshore fish
• 4X strong single hook — built to handle hard-running pelagics
• 10 colors available — chrome and gold finishes

Specs

The lightest Tady surface iron

The Tady A1 Light Surface Iron is the lightest surface iron in the Tady lineup at about 1¾ to 2 oz and 5 inches. It's a surface-weight version of the A2 shape, rigged with a single fixed, welded hook. Reach for it in calm conditions when fish are feeding near the top and a heavier iron is more than you need. Hand-crafted in the USA.

Why anglers reach for the A1 Light

• Lightest Tady surface iron: About 1¾–2 oz for a subtle presentation in calm water.
• A2-derived shape: The proven A2 profile, built at surface-iron weight.
• Single fixed welded hook: Fewer tangles on the cast and during the fight, and faster unhooking at the rail.
• Hand-crafted in the USA: Built with the consistency expected from Tady Lures.

How to fish the Tady A1 Light

Cast to feeding fish, working birds or kelp paddies. Let the iron settle for a second or two, then wind steadily with the rod tip pointed down. Don't pump the rod; the iron swims on a steady retrieve. Because it's the lightest Tady surface iron, it's at its best when the wind is calm and you don't need maximum casting distance.

Best for

• Species: Yellowtail, bonito, barracuda, tuna and dorado.
• Conditions: Calm to light wind with fish feeding near the surface.
• Technique: Cast-and-wind surface iron fishing.
• Hook setup: Single fixed welded hook.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Tady A1 Light weigh?

About 1¾ to 2 oz depending on the finish, with a 5-inch body.

Why choose a single fixed hook?

A welded single hook tangles less on the cast and during the fight, and it comes out of a fish faster at the rail.

How should I retrieve it?

Cast, let it settle briefly, then wind steadily with the rod tip down. The iron creates its own action, so there's no need to pump the rod.

What's the difference between the A1 Light and the A2?

The A1 Light is a light surface iron built on the A2 shape. The A2 is a heavier yo-yo iron, about 4 oz, for fish holding below the surface.

The Daiwa Saltiga TG Bait 180g is a high-density tungsten metal jig engineered for hard-pulling offshore species — tuna, yellowtail, amberjack, grouper, and more. Tungsten's superior density relative to lead produces a dramatically smaller profile at the same weight, allowing the TG Bait to sink faster and reach the strike zone quicker than conventional lead jigs of equivalent weight. That smaller profile also means less water resistance on the drop and a more compact, realistic baitfish silhouette that triggers bites from pressured fish.

Made in Japan and available in three colors — including two colorways developed specifically for the US market. Sold without hooks — pair with your preferred assist hooks to customize the rig to your target species and jigging style. 

Key Features

• High-Density Tungsten Construction — Tungsten's superior density produces a much smaller profile than lead at the same weight; faster sink rate, less water resistance, and a more compact baitfish silhouette.
• Faster Sink Rate — Reaches the strike zone faster than conventional lead jigs; critical for targeting fish holding deep or in strong current.
• Compact Profile — Smaller cross-section triggers bites from pressured fish that have seen conventional jig profiles; effective on tuna, yellowtail, and amberjack.
• Made in Japan — Saltiga-level quality and finish from Daiwa's premium Japanese manufacturing.
• US Market Color Options — Two of the three available colors were developed specifically for the US market.
• Sold Without Hooks — Customize with your preferred assist hooks for your target species and jigging technique.

The Submission Fishing Slow Death Jigs Ogre is a knife-style jig that will get to the strike zone in a hurry. Unlike traditional knife jigs, this is still a slow pitch jig, getting down to the depths like a knife but is center-balanced like a true slow pitch jig. It can be fished horizontally on the retrieve. Once this jig is pitched, it rumbles and rolls its way through the water in an erratic fashion. Like a true ogre of legend, only the largest and mightiest fish can take this monster down. This is the perfect jig for huge tuna or any other large fish that needs a big bait.

Slow Death Jigs The Ogre  comes in three different sizes and colors, a 300g, 400g, 500g, and 600g.

A smaller surface iron for 30–40 lb line

Despite the name, the Tady 4/0 Light Surface Iron is one of the smaller surface irons on the market: about 2.6 to 2.8 oz and 5¾ to 6 inches. It's a classic for schoolie tuna and yellowtail on 30–40 lb line, rigged here with a single fixed, welded hook. Don't confuse it with the Tady 4/0 Heavy, a 5.9 oz yo-yo iron for deep water. Hand-crafted in the USA.

Why anglers choose the 4/0 Light

• Smaller surface profile: About 2.6–2.8 oz, a natural match for 30–40 lb line.

• Hand-crafted in the USA: Built with the consistency expected from Tady Lures.

How to fish the 4/0 Light

Best for

• Species: Yellowtail, school-size tuna, calico bass, bonito and barracuda.
• Conditions: Calm to moderate wind with fish feeding near the surface on smaller bait.
• Line: 30–40 lb monofilament, or braid with a 30–40 lb mono top shot.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the 4/0 Light and the 4/0 Sr. Light?

The 4/0 Sr. Light is a super-sized version of the 4/0 Light with the same swimming pattern. It's about an ounce heavier (3.5–3.7 oz), roughly half an inch to three-quarters of an inch longer, and comes with a treble hook, so it casts farther and shows a bigger profile. The 4/0 Light is the smaller, lighter option with a single fixed hook.

Is the 4/0 Light the same as the Tady 4/0 Heavy?

No. The 4/0 Light is a small surface iron. The 4/0 Heavy is a 5.9 oz yo-yo iron built for fish holding deep.

What line should I use?

The 4/0 Light is a natural match for 30–40 lb line: straight monofilament, or braid with a 30–40 lb mono top shot.

Why choose a single fixed hook?

A welded single hook tangles less on the cast and during the fight, and it comes out of a fish faster at the rail.

How should I retrieve it?

Cast, let it settle briefly, then wind steadily with the rod tip down. Keep the speed up; a slow iron gets followed instead of eaten.
