Saltwater Lures

The Shimano Current Sniper Jig is an outstanding jig under many circumstances and water conditions.  It can be fished on the surface or deep, vertical or horizontal, and it flat out catches fish.  We like it for it's versatility and color patterns. 

This was previously known as the Coltsniper.

The smaller sizes can be fished for freshwater largemouth bass or striped bass as well as tuna and yellowtail.   If fishing the smaller sizes for larger fish, we recommend changing the hooks and split rings to a stronger grade. 

When fished vertically, cast or drop straight down, let it sink down to the depth you want, then wind it back with or without rod pumps.  For horizontal or surface fishing, make a long cast and retrieve at a steady pace with no rod twitches.

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.  

We prefer throwing irons on 30# or 40# monofilament 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 hooks may change depending on the availability at the Tady warehouse.  Don't worry though, they all catch fish and they are all plenty strong.

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 the ability to catch fish.

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 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 Warbaits Swimbait Head are deadly on fish!  They feature a unique head shape that allows fishing in heavy cover.  The Mustad UltraPoint heavy wire hooks are built tough so a fish won't straighten them out.  These heads pair great with Kietech Swing Impact Fat's, Big Hammers, or MC Swimbaits.  The exaggerated barbs keep the bait pinned on the head so it won't come off easily.  We also like to put a little Zap-A-Gap glue just before sliding the bait all the way up.  The colors have been made to mimic whatever bait fish you want so matching the hatch is easy.  Tie one on an hold on!

The Salas 6X Jr Yo-Yo Iron Jigs is perfect when you're trying to mimic a mid-sized bait.  The smaller model of the regular Salas 6x, the Jr. is smaller and lighter which makes it fall slower through the water column.  It's also great if the fish aren't in deep water or they are feeding on smaller bait.  Both eyes are welded and it comes with a very strong 3X strong hook.  Sometimes the paint will get in the eye of the jig where the ring passes through.  We suggest that you clean out this eye to increase the action of the bait.  The hook should move freely and a small piece of single strand 30# AFW Toothproof wire 6" long attached to the front of the jig will cause a different action, try it out.  

You can cast the jig long distances or drop it straight under the boat.  We drop it down to the desired depth, usually the bottom, and retrieve it back as quickly as possible.  30-40lb line is best and a 7 foot rod 20-40lb line rating.

The Submission Fishing Jigs Sumo is so versatile that when it's tied on the eye side, the heavy belly of the jig will slide through the water column allowing you to fish underneath docks, pilings, and other hard to reach places.  When tied from the belly side, it will have a more traditional vertical fall. With a wobbling, leaf-like action, the squat, round-belly shape of this jig falls into the depths of the ocean to entice saltwater bay bass as well as many others. The Sumo's compact design also allows you to use a heavier jig in a smaller presentation for precision fishing. Perfect for fishing shallow docks or 60 ft of kelp beds (the 40 and 60g are perfect for kelp) with a heavy tide swing. 

Submission Jigs The Sumo comes in 20g, 40g, and 60g.

All jigs feature BKK assist hooks with UV tassels and heavy duty split rings.

Submission Fishing Jigs Mercenary is effective in many conditions.  Whether you're casting out on a boat for pelagic, vertical fishing for bass off the docks, or casting from shore, the Slow Death Mercenary jig can be very productive. This jig's unique shape produces a fluttering, twirling action on the fall and an erratic swimming action on the retrieve. It can be fished vertically or cast and retrieved. It’s the ultimate dying baitfish imitator, and greedy fish won’t be able to resist.

Submission Jigs Mercenary comes in 20g, 40g, and 60g.

All jigs feature BKK assist hooks with UV tassels and heavy duty split rings.

Jig was renamed to Mercenary in March of 2024.

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 Daiwa Saltiga SK Jig is a saltwater slow jigging lure with a Japanese design. On the fall this lure exhibits a unique spin and flutter action that entices predatory gamefish to react and attack. Once the Saltiga SK Jig has reached the bottom or a targeted depth, simply wind the reel and let it fall back down.

The unique swimming action of the Saltiga SK Jig allows the jig to kick and slap throughout the water column.

Available in 8 essential colors and weights ranging from 60 gram (~2 ounce) to 300 gram (~10 1/2 ounce).

Born in Australia, Halco's designers know how to make a lure that get's bit and also holds up to the toughest fish.  The construction, hooks, split rings and hardware are very strong and have caught tuna in the hundreds of pounds.  The many colors allow you to pick one that best fits your fishing conditions.

The Halco Max 190 Lure is designed for heavy high speed spinning and trolling, It is ideal for large salt water predators such as tuna, mackerel and wahoo.

Max is also a great lure to troll while traveling from spot to spot due to its high speed characteristics.

JRI Custom Lures JRI-66 Yo-Yo Iron Jigs come in a very familiar and deadly profile but much heavier due to its brass construction. Very effective when fish are keyed in on smaller bait down deep and you need to get down into the strike zone as quick as possible. A fast retrieve makes this a yoyo jig even deadlier.

JRI Custom Lures JRI-4 Surface Iron Jigs one of the crowd favorites. Measuring in at 7 inches and 4.1 ounces the JRI-4 is a great casting surface iron with a slightly slower/wider kick that the yellowtail just can not resist. Made of high grade aluminum and with a glossy finish.

Retrieve speeds can vary between a slow and medium constant retrieve, dependent on your fishing conditions (current, swell, wind, boat drifting or on anchor). The JRI Custom Lures JRI-4 are a great jig when fish are keyed in on bigger bait such as mackerel or jumbo sardines.  If you enjoy throwing the bigger surface irons the JRI-4 would be a jig for you.

 When fish are breaking the surface or just subsurface, the Shimano Current Sniper Sinking Stickbait is going to be deadly!  This sinking stickbait is perfect for when fish are feeding on the surface and uses superior finishes and stout 3X strong hooks and split rings.  There are several retrieval methods that can be used effectively on many different predator fish.  

This was previously known as the Coltsniper.

Subsurface walk-the-dog is a very effective method and creates the illusion of a fleeing baitfish.  This can be more easily created using a spinning setup like the Shimano Thunnus and Shimano Terez but conventional rods and reels may also be used. Moving the rod tip while winding the reel with short pauses will cuase the bait to move left and right.  It's very important to give the lure some slack after pulling it each time.  If slack isn't given after each pull, the lure will not have the line needed to glide momentarily before you pull it again.  Skipping the lure on the surface is also a technique that can invoke a strike. Cast as far as you can and don't let it sink out.  Wind back the lure as fast as you can so that it skips on the surface.

We are excited to use the Shimano Current Sniper Stickbait on yellowtail, tuna, calico bass and striper here in Southern California.  We are sure it will work for any agressive predator fish you have.  Ideally we would use a 8,000 to 12,000 size Shimano Thunus or Stella spinning reel and an 8' to 9' Shimano Terez or Ocea Plugger spinning rod.  Line class is going to depend on what you are fishing for but 50-80lb Power Pro with a 4-7 foot monofilament or fluorocarbon leader would be ideal.  The leader size will differ but 30-50lb line would be normal range for this type of fishing.  Using a split ring on the nose with a solid ring on the split ring would allow the lure to move correctly.  You can also tie a loop knot of your chose to allow lure movement.
