Saltwater Jigs and Irons

Salas 7X Jr Surface Iron Jigs are the same fish catching shape and action as the full sized 7X but in a bite size lure. Perfect when the fish are finicky or biting smaller bait.  Simply cast it, let it sink for a couple seconds, and retrieve at a moderate rate.  Too fast and it will wash out, too slow and it will have a lazy action.  You want to create a reaction in the fish, so make sure you fish it at the right speed.

The Salas 7X Heavy Yo-Yo Iron Jigs is the same fish catching shape as the legendary 7X Light surface iron...but with the beefed up weight of a yo-yo iron for those deep yellows!  Simply drop it down and wind it back up at a quick steady pace. We like 30 or 40 pound monofilament line for either your main line or your top shot.

The Salas 6X Yo-Yo Iron Jig is a yellowtail catching machine.  The shape and color of these heavy jigs creates the illusion of a fleeing baitfish from the depths.  It triggers a bite from a variety of species but yellowtail off the Southern California coast is the main reason we use these jigs.

Simply drop it down to the bottom or desired depth, put the reel in gear and bring it back at a fast but steady retrieve.  If they are there, they will eat it!

The lure may spin as it come up, that is ok and gets bit really well.  You are trying to get a reaction out of the fish and if it looks like it's going to get away, a yellowtail will hunt it down.  Hang on tight though, when they hit it they will hit it hard.  

The hook and rings are heavy enough for most yellowtail but you can also catch tuna on them.  Usually they like chrome or chrome blue, but they will eat other colors.  Barracuda and dorado will also bite any Salas Lure as long as it's moving fast.

The paint may differ since they are hand made.  Often times the pain get's chipped in shipping to us, being shipped in bulk. It doesn't change the fish catching ability of the jig.  It's going to chip when it hits the bottom and get all scratched up on the fight back to the boat. DO NOT let this affect your confidence on your fish catching abilities. We have all seen the jigs that have little to no paint left on them that get bit just fine if not better.  If you have questions, feel free to call us.

The Salas 7X Light Surface Iron Jig is one of the most iconic surface irons in existence. It's easy to fish and like all Salas, it gets bit.  Cast it as far as you can, let it sink for a couple seconds, and then a nice steady retrieve back.  Not too slow and not too fast, just enough so that a methodical erratic action takes place.  

Salas is hand made in Southern California and has been proven time and time again.  Each one has superior paint jobs and a thick clear coat that will stand up over time but even if the paint comes off, they still get bit.  We've found they get bit even better when the paint has scratches and looks a little beat up.  Yellowtail have teeth and can be very aggressive, this over time will remove the paint and clear coat.  Many panga fisherman like to scrape them on the launch ramp to get some of the paint off.  

Try out different colors, fish will eat them all but sometimes they will bite one color more than another.  We generally like to fish darker colors in low light conditions and lighter colors when there is more sun.

The Tady 4/0 Iron is a heavy yoyo iron for vertical deep water jigging for yellowtail and bottom fish.  It works best for fish on deep structure or if you need to get jig to fall fast through the column to get past unwanted species.  The Tady 4/0 is one of our favorite heavy jigs, simply let if fall to the desired depth and then wind it up as fast as you can.  You can also pull the tip up fast and then drop the tip and repeat.  These are deadly on yellowtail and tuna!  

Color and hook manufacturer varies on each lure and may not be exactly like the picture shows.  Scratches are common on all Tady Lures, they get scratched in transit to us and these scratches don't impact its ability to catch fish.

The Tady TLC is a great white sea bass jig when rigged with a squid and the white glow color.  The other colors are great for a wide variety of fish when the bait is smaller or you need a more subtle presentation.  Don't let the size of this little guy fool you, it's heavy for its size and cast's very well.  

Vertical: To work it vertically, cast it or drop it straight under the boat.  Let it sink to the desired depth which could range from a few feet to several dozen feet.  Put the reel in gear and wind it back with a fast retrieve.  

Horizontal:  Cast it as far as possible and let it sink for a second or two and wind it straight back to the boat with a  fast retrieve.  

YoYo:  Cast it or drop it straight under the boat, let it sink to the desired depth, and one line is taught and the reel is in gear, drop the rod tip and then lift the rod tip 3-4 feet.  Drop the rod tip again and repeat without winding the reel.  After a few minutes if you're not already bit, wind it up a few cranks and repeat.

The Tady 9 is a thinner and more narrow version of the Tady A2 and Tady AA jigs.  This makes the jig fall faster due to less drag on the lure.  It also swims in a tighter pattern for when you need to burn it back when fish are the most active.  

Verticle: To work it vertically, cast it or drop it straight under the boat.  Let it sink to the desired depth which could range from a few feet to several dozen feet.  Put the reel in gear and wind it back with a fast retrieve.  

Horizontal:  Cast it as far as possible and let it sink for a second or two and wind it straight back to the boat with a  fast retrieve.  

YoYo:  Cast it or drop it straight under the boat, let it sink to the desired depth, and one line is taught and the reel is in gear, drop the rod tip and then lift the rod tip 3-4 feet.  Drop the rod tip again and repeat without winding the reel.  After a few minutes if you're not already bit, wind it up a few cranks and repeat.  

 There is no need to put any bait or scent on most Tady jigs, it's a reaction and if the bite is on, they will eat it.  Bait can actually impair the action of the jig so it's best just to tie straight to the ring on the iron.  We prefer throwing irons on 30# or 40# line in general but the size of the fish being caught, the size of your reel, and the weight of the jig all play a part in deciding what line to use.

The Tady 45 Surface Iron is the king of surface irons.  Works great for tuna, yellowtail, calico bass, wahoo, dorado, barracuda, and even white sea bass.  Simply cast it as far as you can and wind it straight back to the boat with a fast retrieve.  

There is no need to impart action into the jig, just point the rod tip at it and wind it back.  You may need to allow it to sink just a little under the surface before you start winding so it catches water.
