Wahoo Fishing Tackle

The Halco Max 130 is a great trolling and casting lure for salt and freshwater species.  The Max 130 can be trolled at high speeds of up to 12 knots and has very little trolling resistance due to it's slender profile.  The slim tail design gives it excellent hook exposure for great hook sets.  

Crafted in Australia, Halco engineered the Max 130 to hook fish and stand up to the mightiest catches. Its construction, including hooks, split rings, and hardware, are robust—capable of bringing in tuna up to hundreds of pounds. Furthermore, with a variety of attractive colors, you can easily find the ideal lure for your fishing conditions.

Although mainly a trolling lure, the Max 130 can be used in a cast and retrieve method as well.  Use a high speed reel and burn it back for the correct action on the lure.  It measures 5 1/2" and 2.82 ounces.  Give it a try on tuna, yellowtail, barracuda, wahoo, stripers, and many other aggressive species.  

The hooks and hardware on all Halco products is as tough as it gets.  You can fish them with confidence, even on tuna over 300lbs.  The split rings and treble hooks are 4X strong and with the wire through construction, the fish will give up far before the lure will.  

The finish is second to none with bright colors and extreme details.  No small detail has been overlooked and is certain to catch fish from The Gulf to Southern California.  Tie on a Halco Max 130 and hang on tight.

The Hook That Disappears on the Bait

When you're fishing live anchovies or sardines for yellowtail, tuna, or white seabass, the hook is the one thing that can blow the whole presentation. The Owner Flyliner is engineered to stay out of the picture — lightweight enough to let the bait swim naturally, short-shanked to stay hidden, and finished in black chrome so it doesn't flash in the water column. When the bite is finicky, this is the hook that keeps getting you bit.

Ringed or Non-Ringed? Here's the Difference

This is the non-ringed Flyliner (SKU 5106 single packs / SKU 5306 pro packs). The eye is closed and your knot ties direct to the hook for the lowest-profile connection possible — no hardware, no pivot point, just clean and simple. If you want a welded ring on the eye for extra bait freedom and a pivot point on the bite, go with the Owner Ringed Flyliner (5106R) or the Ringed Flyliner Pro Pack (5306R).

Built to Handle What Bites

• Forged construction — premium materials for strength that holds up on hard-running fish
• Cutting point — drives home on the strike for more reliable hooksets
• Lightweight design — lets bait swim naturally without dragging it down
• Short shank — stays hidden on smaller baitfish like anchovies and smelt
• Black chrome finish — corrosion-resistant and low-visibility in saltwater
• Closed straight eye — direct knot connection, no added hardware

Single Pack or Pro Pack — Which One?

Single packs (5106) are ideal if you're trying the Flyliner for the first time or fishing a specific size for a targeted trip. Pro packs (5306) offer significantly more hooks per pack — up to 46 hooks — at a better per-hook price, making them the smart buy for high-volume fishing on sportboats, party boats, or long-range trips where you're going through hooks fast.

Tackle Express Tips

• For anchovies, match hook size to bait size — a Size 6 or 8 for small 'chovies, Size 2 or 1 for larger ones. Oversizing the hook kills the bait's action and reduces strikes.
• The non-ringed eye ties direct with a Palomar or Uni knot — both hold well and keep the connection clean and low-profile at the bait's nose or collar.
• If you're going through hooks fast on a long-range trip, the Pro Pack is the move — you get 4–6x the hooks at a fraction of the per-hook cost.

FAQ

What's the difference between the 5106 and 5306?
Same hook, different pack size. The 5106 is a standard single pack; the 5306 is the pro pack with significantly more hooks per package at a better per-hook value.

How does this compare to the Ringed Flyliner?
The non-ringed version ties direct to the hook eye for the lowest-profile connection. The ringed version (5106R/5306R) has a welded ring on the eye that gives the bait more freedom of movement and creates a pivot point on the bite — some anglers prefer it for larger baits or when fish are short-striking.

What size should I use for anchovies?
Size 6–8 for small anchovies, Size 2–4 for medium, and Size 1 or 1/0 for large anchovies. When in doubt, go smaller — a hook that's too large will drag the bait down and reduce its swimming action.

Owner Hyper Ball Bearing Swivels are what goes between your main line and leader when line twist isn't an option. Rated from 100 lb (Size 3) to 400 lb (Size 8), built from stainless steel with a black chrome finish, and engineered with a precision ball bearing that keeps spinning smoothly under the sustained load of a running fish — these are the swivels you reach for when the application demands reliability, not luck.

Spins Under Load. Standard Swivels Don't.

A barrel swivel looks functional sitting on a tackle shop peg. Under the rotational pressure of a live bait, a trolled lure, or a fish doing barrel rolls on the surface, it seizes. The Owner Hyper uses a precision ball bearing inside the housing that maintains free rotation even under heavy tension — which is exactly when you need it most. Line twist ruins leaders, weakens connections, and tangles rigs. The Hyper eliminates the source.

Where Barrel Swivels Fall Short

Barrel swivels are fine for light applications where rotation load is minimal. Put one on a fast-spinning live mackerel, a high-speed trolling lure, or a deep jig on a long drop, and the swivel body seizes under tension — your line twists anyway, and you've got a false sense of protection. Owner's ball bearing mechanism is rated to spin freely even under the sustained load of a hard-fighting fish, which is the only condition that actually matters.

What Sets Them Apart

• Precision Ball Bearing — Maintains free 360° rotation under load; doesn't seize under tension like barrel swivels
• Stainless Steel Construction — Black chrome finish resists corrosion in saltwater and stands up to repeated offshore use
• High Strength Range — Size 3 (100 lb) through Size 8 (400 lb) covers everything from inshore leaders to heavy trolling rigs
• Welded Stainless Rings — Both connection rings are welded closed; no opening under load, no knot slippage
• Compact Profile — Low-drag body doesn't create a pressure wake or spook fish at speed
• Owner Japanese Engineering — Consistent tolerance and finish across every unit in the pack

The Right Pick If…

• You troll lures or live bait and need a swivel that actually spins under tension
• You target tuna, marlin, wahoo, or billfish where line twist on a long fight is catastrophic
• You jig deep and need a swivel that handles the spin coming off a fast-fall jig
• You run live bait rigs for yellowtail, striped bass, or king mackerel
• You want to replace weak or corroded barrel swivels with something rated for your actual leader strength

Best Fishing Techniques

• Offshore trolling — Sizes 5–7 between main line and leader on high-speed trolling spreader bars and cedar plugs
• Live bait fishing — Sizes 3–5 prevent kite and flat-line live baits from twisting the leader during long swims
• Vertical jigging — Size 3–4 between braid and fluorocarbon leader; prevents twist transferred from fast-fall and slow-pitch jigs
• Bottom fishing — Size 4–5 on knocker rigs and Carolina rigs; keeps the leader clean on multi-drop trips
• Musky and pike trolling — Sizes 3–4 handle freshwater big-game applications

Best Conditions

• Offshore saltwater — primary application; black chrome stainless handles repeated exposure
• High-speed trolling — ball bearing stays functional at speed where barrel swivels fail
• Long fights with large pelagics — sustained rotational load is where the ball bearing earns its keep
• Deep jigging — fast-fall jigs generate significant twist on the drop that a barrel swivel can't clear

Best For

• Sizes 3–4 (100–125 lb) — Inshore leaders, live bait rigs, light offshore jigging, musky and pike
• Sizes 5–6 (160–190 lb) — Offshore trolling leaders, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, large yellowtail
• Sizes 7–8 (300–400 lb) — Heavy billfish rigging, marlin, spreader bars, heavy stand-up tackle

Models & Specs

Specs are loaded dynamically from product metafields. Available: Size 3 (5158-031, 100 lb, Qty 5), Size 4 (5158-041, 125 lb, Qty 5), Size 5 (5158-051, 160 lb, Qty 5), Size 6 (5158-061, 190 lb, Qty 4), Size 7 (300 lb, Qty 3), Size 8 (400 lb, Qty 3).

Tackle Express Tips

• Size to your leader, not your main line. The swivel only needs to be rated at or above your leader strength — not your braid. Most inshore and nearshore applications are covered by Size 3–4. Go to Size 5–6 for offshore yellowfin and wahoo. Reserve Size 7–8 for heavy marlin and billfish setups.
• Rinse after every saltwater trip. Ball bearing mechanisms hold up well in salt, but the bearing housing can trap salt crystals if left unrinsed. A quick freshwater rinse after each trip keeps the rotation smooth for seasons, not just months.
• Use a loop-to-loop or Bimini connection on the main line side. Direct clinch knots on heavy braid put localized pressure on the swivel ring under load. A Bimini twist or double-line connection distributes that load more evenly and maximizes the rated strength of the swivel.

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between a ball bearing swivel and a barrel swivel?
A: A barrel swivel uses a simple pin-through-barrel mechanism that can seize under tension. A ball bearing swivel uses a ring of small steel balls inside the housing that maintain free rotation even under heavy load. For light freshwater applications, a barrel swivel is fine. For anything involving sustained rotational pressure — trolling, live bait, deep jigging — a ball bearing swivel is the correct tool.

Q: Do I need a snap swivel or a straight swivel?
A: For most applications, a straight ball bearing swivel with a separate snap or split ring gives you more flexibility and a cleaner connection. Snap swivels add a potential failure point at the snap. Use a straight Hyper Ball Bearing Swivel and attach your lure or leader with a quality snap or direct knot.

Q: Are these rated for fluorocarbon leaders?
A: Yes. The welded stainless rings accept all standard knots — Palomar, clinch, uni-to-uni — in both monofilament and fluorocarbon. For heavy fluoro leaders (80 lb+), use a non-slip loop knot or snell connection to preserve as much knot strength as possible.

The Nomad DTX Minnow range represents the pinnacle of saltwater hard bait trolling lures. They have been proven to troll faster, dive deeper and always run straight and are the new standard by which all other saltwater hard baits are judged.

Patented Autotune Tow-point System which allows the lure to self centre. No more pulling out, swimming to the side or having to constantly adjust your blue-water trolling baits to make them swim straight.

The Leader That Fights Back

When finicky tuna and billfish are refusing everything else, the Aftco Saiko Pro Fluorocarbon Leader Line is the edge serious anglers reach for. Made from a 100% custom formula fluorocarbon manufactured in Japan, Saiko Pro is engineered for real-world performance — not just lab numbers. It's supple enough to tie clean knots, hard enough to resist the roughest structure, and strong enough to hold when it matters most.

Built for the Talica Series — and Every Big-Game Setup

Saiko Pro delivers industry-leading tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and break energy ratings across the full range from 12lb to 300lb test. Whether you're rigging up for yellowfin, white seabass, or blue marlin, there's a Saiko Pro size built for the job. The 12–80lb range is available in both Clear and Pink; 100–300lb is available in Clear.

Why Leader Material Actually Matters

Most fluorocarbon weakens after contact with structure, teeth, or gill plates. Saiko Pro is up to 20% stronger after abrasion than leading competitors — a critical difference when you're fighting a fish that's already tested your gear. The knot and crimp strength is unmatched, and the AFTCO SecureSpool™ system keeps your leader organized and tangle-free between trips.

Clear vs. Pink — Which to Choose

Clear is the go-to for most conditions — low visibility, high clarity water, and pressured fish. Pink shines in cloudy or stained water where it can actually reduce visibility at depth. Many offshore anglers keep both on hand and match to conditions.

The Right Pick If...

• You're targeting tuna, billfish, or inshore species that leader-shy
• You need a leader that holds up to structure, teeth, and repeated use
• You want a premium Japan-made fluorocarbon with proven offshore credentials
• You're rigging with crimps or tying direct — Saiko Pro handles both

Best Fishing Techniques

• Chunking and live bait for tuna and billfish
• Slow-pitch and vertical jigging with fluorocarbon top shots
• Inshore live bait rigs for white seabass and yellowtail
• Kite fishing and flat-line trolling leaders
• Crimped big-game rigs for 100lb+ applications

Best Conditions

• Clear to moderately stained water (use Pink in cloudy conditions)
• Offshore blue water and nearshore kelp/structure
• Any situation where fish are leader-shy or biting short

Best For

• Species: Bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, white seabass, yellowtail, billfish, marlin, wahoo
• Techniques: Live bait, chunking, jigging, trolling, kite fishing, crimped big-game rigs
• Use Cases: Offshore leader material, inshore top shots, fluorocarbon shock leaders

Key Features

• 100% custom formula fluorocarbon — made in Japan
• Up to 20% stronger after abrasion than leading competitors
• Industry-leading tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and break energy ratings
• Supple finish for easy knot tying; hard outer shell for maximum abrasion resistance
• AFTCO SecureSpool™ for tangle-free leader storage
• Available in Clear (12–300lb) and Pink (12–80lb)
• Proven on tuna, billfish, and inshore species worldwide

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Match your leader to your main line: For braid-to-fluoro connections, use an FG knot or PR bobbin knot for maximum strength and a slim profile through the guides.
• Go heavier in structure: When fishing near kelp, rocks, or the boat hull, bump up one or two line classes — the abrasion resistance will pay off.
• Pink in the chop: On overcast days or in green water, the pink color diffuses at depth and can actually be less visible to fish than clear. Don't overlook it.

FAQ

What's the difference between the Clear and Pink versions?
Both are the same custom fluorocarbon formula. Pink is designed for cloudy or stained water conditions where it becomes less visible at depth. Clear is the standard choice for most offshore and inshore applications.

Can I use Saiko Pro with crimps?
Yes — AFTCO specifically engineered Saiko Pro for both knotted and crimped applications. The knot and crimp strength is one of its standout features, making it ideal for big-game rigs in the 100–300lb range.

Is Saiko Pro suitable for inshore fishing?
Absolutely. While it's built for offshore performance, the 12–30lb range is excellent for white seabass, yellowtail, and other inshore species that are leader-shy in clear water.

Rapala X-Rap Magnum 30 — Built for the Deep, Built for the Fight

When the big pelagics are holding at depth, you need a lure that can reach them. The Rapala X-Rap Magnum 30 (XRMAG-30) is a premium saltwater trolling lure engineered to dive down to 30 feet while maintaining a tight, lifelike action at trolling speeds up to 12 knots. Whether you're targeting wahoo, yellowfin tuna, sailfish, or mahi, this is the bait that gets down where the fish are.

Key Features

• 30-foot dive depth — reaches the strike zone where trophy fish hold
• Tank tested & swim-true certified — every lure approved by Rapala staff before it ships
• 4X strong VMC hooks — matched hardware eliminates weak points; don't swap them out
• Trolling speed range: up to 12 knots (optimal: 7–9 knots)
• Weight: 2.5 oz | Length: 6¼"
• Available in 11 proven saltwater color patterns including UV finishes

Pro Tips

The XRMAG-30's large diving lip creates significant drag at speed — pair it with 60–80 lb line for best performance and to handle the pressure of big game fish. We recommend trolling at 7–9 knots for maximum action. If hooks dull, sharpen them; if replacement is necessary, use VMC hooks matched to the original spec.

Specifications

When a squid profile gets the look

When fish ignore a straight retrieve, the Nomad Design Live Ops JerkSquid gives you two cues in one soft bait: a sharp dart on the twitch and flowing tentacle movement that keeps working as the lure slows. Its keel-shaped body is designed to glide through the strike zone, while Titan-RX TPE construction, Reactor UV + Glow technology, and Tracer scent add durability, visibility, and an attractant to the presentation.

Make the pause count

Work it with quick, crisp twitches for an erratic dart, slow down for a measured twitch-and-pause, or let it sit for a natural sinking presentation. The versatile cadence makes it a strong option when you want to change speed without changing lures. As a soft plastic, it needs a suitable rigging setup; the product details here do not specify a recommended hook or rig weight, so match those to your conditions and check fit before pairing.

Pick the size for your target

Choose from five body lengths, with pack counts and available colors varying by size. The 3.25-inch size is listed for calico, sand, and spotted bay bass; the 4-inch for white seabass, halibut, and yellowtail; the 5-inch for yellowtail, tuna, and dorado; and the 7-inch for tuna, wahoo, and other large gamefish. The 9-inch option gives you the largest profile in the lineup.

Models, pack counts & color SKUs

Color availability is size-specific. Start with Natural Tiger for a subtler look, or choose Pearl White, Bone Tiger, Chartreuse Tiger, Pink Tiger, or Ultra Penny UV to suit the visibility and contrast you want.

Best for inshore and offshore saltwater

Reach for the JerkSquid when you want a squid-inspired soft bait for calico bass, sand bass, spotted bay bass, white seabass, halibut, yellowtail, tuna, dorado, or wahoo. The smaller 3.25-inch offering is the listed pick for inshore bass; step up through 4- and 5-inch sizes for seabass, halibut, yellowtail, tuna, and dorado, or choose 7 inches for a bigger-game presentation.

Key features

• Keel-shaped body for a natural glide through the strike zone.
• Darting jerkbait action paired with flowing squid tentacles.
• Titan-RX TPE material for a durable soft-plastic body.
• Reactor UV + Glow technology and Tracer scent infusion.
• Five sizes, from 3.25 to 9 inches, with size-dependent colors and pack counts.

Tackle Express tips

• Begin with a sharp twitch followed by a pause; vary the pause length before changing lures.
• For inshore bass, start with the 3.25-inch size and its listed 6-piece pack.
• For larger targets, use the listed species and size guide above, and verify hook fit and rig weight rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all setup.

Common questions

What makes the JerkSquid different from a standard soft jerkbait?
It combines a darting body action with flowing squid tentacles, plus the listed UV + Glow technology and Tracer scent infusion.

Which size should I choose for yellowtail?
The listing names both 4-inch and 5-inch sizes for yellowtail. Choose between the 5-piece 4-inch pack and the 4-piece 5-inch pack based on the profile you want.

Are all colors available in every size?
No. Color options vary by size; use the model and SKU table to confirm the exact color selection for each size.

The Line SoCal Anglers Trust

Izorline XXX has earned its reputation on the water — not in a marketing brochure. Veteran long-range and local sportboat anglers have relied on it for decades because it delivers where it counts: small diameter for more line on the spool, exceptional knot strength, and a smoke color that disappears in the water column. If you're fishing yellowtail, tuna, or white seabass, this is the line that won't let you down when the fish of a lifetime is on the other end.

What Makes XXX Different

Izorline engineered the XXX formula with space-age copolymer additives that push monofilament performance beyond what standard mono can deliver. The result is a line that's simultaneously limp enough to cast effortlessly, strong enough to handle hard-running pelagics, and tough enough to survive the rocks and structure where big fish live.

• Xtra Limp — soft, easy to tie, minimal coil memory off the spool
• Xtra Strong — Izorline's strongest mono formula, with high knot and tensile strength
• Xtra Tough — excellent abrasion resistance for rocky structure and kelp
• Smoke color — low visibility in the water column, a proven edge on pressured fish
• Small diameter — more line per spool, better bait presentation

When Line Visibility Costs You Fish

Clear water and pressured fish are unforgiving. Heavy, stiff, or high-visibility line kills bait action and spooks wary fish — especially white seabass and finicky yellowtail. The XXX's smoke color and ultra-limp formula let your bait swim naturally and your line stay out of the picture. It's the difference between getting bit and watching the fish swim away.

The Right Choice If…

• You're fishing live bait on local or long-range sportboats
• You want a mono that casts smoothly and ties clean knots without stiffness
• You're targeting clear-water species like white seabass, yellowtail, or tuna
• You need maximum yardage on your reel without stepping up in diameter
• You've been burned by cheap mono that breaks at the knot or loses strength after a few trips

At Home In These Situations

• Live bait fishing for yellowtail, tuna, and white seabass
• Slow-trolling and drift fishing on local and long-range trips
• Jigging and iron fishing as a main or backing line
• Freshwater applications where low-vis and low-memory matter

Best Conditions

• Clear saltwater — inshore, nearshore, and offshore
• Long-range and overnight sportboat trips
• Kelp and structure fishing where abrasion resistance is critical
• Any situation where fish are line-shy or water clarity is high

Best For

• Yellowtail, bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, and albacore
• White seabass and calico bass on live bait
• Freshwater bass, trout, and general light-tackle applications
• Anglers who want a premium copolymer without the premium price tag

Key Features

• Formula: Super Copolymer with space-age additives
• Color: Smoke (low-visibility)
• Spool size: 1lb
• Available test strengths: 20lb, 25lb, 30lb, 40lb
• Properties: Xtra Limp, Xtra Strong, Xtra Tough
• Low memory, small diameter, high knot strength

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Spool under light tension with water or a damp cloth to reduce memory and ensure even lay on the reel — especially important on larger capacity reels.
• The smoke color is most effective in clear, blue water. If you're fishing green or murky water, the visibility advantage is less critical — but the strength and limpness still make it a top pick.
• For long-range trips, the 1lb spool gives you enough line to fill most conventional reels and have backup. Buy two if you're spooling a large-capacity reel like a Talica 20 or 25.

FAQ

Is Izorline XXX a monofilament or fluorocarbon?
It's a super copolymer — a step above standard monofilament in strength and limpness, but not fluorocarbon. Many anglers use it as their main line with a fluorocarbon leader for the best of both worlds.

What reel sizes does the 1lb spool fill?
Capacity varies by test strength. The 20lb/2,670yd spool will fill most mid-size conventional reels. Refer to your reel's line capacity specs and the yardage table above to match the right test to your setup.

Can I use this line for freshwater fishing?
Yes — the low memory, small diameter, and smoke color make it an excellent choice for freshwater bass, trout, and other species where line visibility and castability matter.

Rapala's Husky Magnum® will swim at a predetermined depth when trolled. The number in the name of the lure indicates the running depth when trolled with 30 meters of line out.  The Husky Magnum can be trolled almost twice as fast as the original Rapala XRAP so you're able to cover twice as much water increasing the chance of a strike.

If you want to use the Husky Magnum® in shallow water, let the lure run with less line to adjust the running depth. Using thicker line that has more resistance in the water also reduces the running depth.

A precision tool for fast trolling and battling big predators. Husky Magnum® is built tough and designed to swim at a pre-determined depth and run straight at up to 12 knots. It features a tight, strong rolling action that is emphasized with a loud internal rattle. Internal translucent rainbow foil and scale pattern create a natural, life-like appearance.

• Designed for Fast Trolling
• Precision Trolling Depth 15 Feet
• Runs Straight Up to 12 Knots
• Tight Swimming Action
• Loud Rattle
• Internal Pearlescent Foil and Natural Scale Pattern
• Natural Translucent Design
• Heavy-Duty Construction
• Strong VMC® Perma Steel® Hook

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 Lead Masters Quick Change Trolling Harness is a 36-inch, 49-strand stainless steel wire harness with a quick-change connection that lets you swap trolling lures in seconds without cutting wire or re-rigging. Built to handle Wahoo, Sharks, and other toothy fish that would cut through monofilament or fluorocarbon leaders. Available in 175 lb, 275 lb, and 400 lb ratings to match your target species and line class.

Key Features

• Quick-Change Connection — Lure Swap in Seconds — The quick-change clip at the lure end allows you to switch trolling lures without cutting wire, re-crimping, or re-rigging; when fish are keying on a specific lure color or profile, the ability to change lures quickly without pulling the entire spread keeps more lines in the water and more time fishing; critical during fast-moving offshore situations where conditions and fish behavior change rapidly.
• 49-Strand Stainless Steel Wire — Toothy Fish Rated — 49-strand stainless steel wire is the standard for toothy fish trolling applications; the multi-strand construction is flexible enough to rig through lure heads and connect to hardware without kinking, while providing the bite resistance that Wahoo, Sharks, Barracuda, and other toothy species cannot cut through; single-strand wire is stiffer and more prone to kinking; 49-strand provides the flexibility of cable with the bite resistance of wire.
• 36" Total Length — The 36-inch length is the standard harness length for offshore trolling lure rigs; long enough to allow the lure to swim naturally behind the leader connection without the hardware affecting the lure’s action, and short enough to leader the fish to the boat efficiently during the fight.
• Three Cable Ratings — 175 lb, 275 lb & 400 lb — Match the harness rating to your target species and main line class; 175 lb for lighter trolling setups targeting Tuna and Yellowtail; 275 lb for mid-weight big game targeting Wahoo and larger Tuna; 400 lb for heavy big game targeting Marlin, large Sharks, and maximum-size Wahoo.

Rating Selection Guide

Best For

• Wahoo — Bite-Resistant Wire Leader — Wahoo have razor-sharp teeth that cut through monofilament and fluorocarbon leaders on the strike; the 49-strand stainless wire harness provides the bite resistance needed to land Wahoo consistently; use the 275 lb rating for standard Wahoo trolling setups.
• Sharks — Sharks require wire leaders to prevent bite-offs during the fight; the 400 lb rating provides the abrasion resistance and bite resistance needed for large shark species; the quick-change connection allows lure or bait changes without re-rigging the entire wire leader.
• Tuna & Big Game Trolling — The quick-change connection is most valuable during active Tuna and big game trolling when rapid lure changes are needed to match the fish’s feeding preference; the 175 lb rating for Tuna-focused setups, 275–400 lb for heavier big game applications.

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.
• Single fixed welded hook: Fewer tangles on the cast and during the fight, and faster unhooking at the rail.
• Proven Tady swimming action: The same swimming pattern Tady scaled up for the 4/0 Sr. Light.
• Hand-crafted in the USA: Built with the consistency expected from Tady Lures.

How to fish the 4/0 Light

Cast to breaking fish, working birds or kelp paddies. Let the iron settle for a second or two, then wind steadily in high gear with the rod tip pointed down. Don't pump the rod; the iron creates its own action. If fish follow without biting, speed up before you slow down.

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.
• Hook setup: Single fixed welded hook.

Specifications

• Brand: Tady Lures
• Model: 4/0 Light
• Type: Surface iron jig
• Weight: Approximately 2.6–2.8 oz (varies slightly by finish)
• Length: 5¾–6 in.
• Hook: Single fixed welded hook
• Construction: Hand-crafted in the USA

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.

Rapala X-Rap Magnum 15 — Versatile Depth, Relentless Action

When you need a lure that gets down fast and triggers strikes from a wide variety of species, the Rapala X-Rap Magnum 15 (XRMAG-15) is your go-to. This premium saltwater trolling lure dives to 15 feet while maintaining a tight, lifelike swimming action at speeds up to 10 knots. Compact enough to target inshore and nearshore species, yet tough enough to handle whatever takes the bait — wahoo, dorado, yellowfin tuna, bonito, and more.

Key Features

• 15-foot dive depth — ideal for nearshore and mid-depth trolling
• Tank tested & swim-true certified — every lure approved by Rapala staff before it ships
• 4X strong VMC hooks — matched hardware eliminates weak points; don't swap them out
• Trolling speed range: up to 10 knots (optimal: 7–8 knots)
• Weight: 1⅛ oz | Length: 4¾"
• Available in 11 proven saltwater color patterns including UV and HD finishes

Pro Tips

The XRMAG-15's smaller profile pairs best with 40–50 lb line — lighter line allows the lure to swim and track better, maximizing its action. Trolling at 7–8 knots is the sweet spot. If hooks dull, sharpen them; if replacement is necessary, use VMC hooks matched to the original spec.

More Drag and Spool Room Without the Bulk

The Avet MXL Raptor Series 2-Speed Lever Drag Reel combines the MXL's wider spool profile with serious Raptor drag power. Its dual Avedrag carbon fiber system delivers up to 21 lb of drag at strike and 31 lb at full, while the 6.4:1 high gear and 3.8:1 low gear give you fast line pickup and low-gear leverage in the same reel.

Built around a true one-piece 6061-T6 marine-grade aluminum frame, the MXL Raptor is designed for anglers who want a compact, comfortable reel with more line capacity than the narrower MXJ platform. Five magnetic MC Cast Control settings help manage the spool when casting, and the lineup includes right-hand models plus a left-hand Silver option. This reel is made in the USA.

When Compact Is Good, but More Capacity Is Better

The narrow MXJ profile is excellent for palmability, but some trips call for a wider spool and more room on the reel. The MXL Raptor fills that middle ground with a compact frame, higher listed drag output, and a wider spool than the MXJ. It is a practical choice for anglers chasing yellowtail, tuna, white seabass, and other hard-pulling saltwater gamefish where line control and sustained pressure matter.

Two Gears for Speed and Leverage

Use high gear to recover line quickly when a fish runs toward the boat or when you need to stay connected during a fast change of direction. Shift into low gear when the fish digs deep, current adds resistance, or you need controlled cranking power near structure. The lever drag gives you quick, repeatable pressure adjustments during the fight.

The Right Pick If...

• You want more spool room than the narrower MXJ platform while keeping a manageable reel profile.
• You need up to 21 lb at strike and 31 lb at full from a dual carbon fiber drag system.
• You fish for tuna, yellowtail, white seabass, and other demanding saltwater species.
• You want MC cast control with five magnetic settings.
• You prefer right-hand color choices or the listed left-hand Silver configuration.

Where It Fits in the Avet Lineup

The MXL Raptor is the wider-spool 2-speed choice for anglers who want more capacity context than the MXJ. For the narrower profile with the same listed 17 lb strike / 26 lb full drag range, compare the Avet MXJ Raptor. For the compact SX platform, see the Avet SX Raptor. If you want a single-speed G2 version of the MXL platform, compare the Avet G2 MXL Single Speed.

Best Techniques and Conditions

• Offshore live bait: Use high gear to recover line during a fast run, then move to low gear when you need steady pressure and leverage.
• Jigging and casting: Tune the five-position MC system for your lure, line, and casting conditions, then use the two-speed drivetrain after the hookset.
• Inshore to mid-range offshore fishing: The wider spool and compact frame make the MXL a versatile choice when you want more capacity without jumping to a much larger reel.
• Structure-oriented saltwater fishing: The stronger listed drag range and low gear help you keep pressure on fish trying to turn toward cover.

Choose the MXL Raptor when the trip calls for more spool room, a higher drag ceiling, and the ability to switch between speed and torque.

Key Features

• Dual Avedrag carbon fiber drag: Up to 21 lb at strike and 31 lb at full.
• 2-speed gearing: 6.4:1 high gear and 3.8:1 low gear.
• Wider MXL spool: More line capacity context than the narrower MXJ platform while maintaining a compact frame.
• MC Cast Control: Five magnetic settings for spool control.
• One-piece 6061-T6 aluminum frame: Precision-machined for strength and corrosion resistance.
• Machined stainless steel gears and silent anti-reverse: Smooth, confident cranking under load.
• Lever drag with strike preset: Make repeatable pressure adjustments during the fight.
• Included accessories: Matching machined aluminum rod clamp, alarm clicker, and large soft-touch handle knob.
• Hard-anodized finish: Added protection for saltwater use.
• Made in USA.

Tackle Express Tips

• Use high gear while a fish is moving toward the boat, then shift to low gear when you need more torque and a steadier pace.
• Start with a moderate MC setting and fine-tune it for your lure, line, and casting conditions. Small changes are easier to manage than over-tightening the spool.
• Set the strike position before the trip and keep lever movement smooth so you can return to a familiar pressure setting during the fight.

FAQ

Does the Avet MXL Raptor come in left-hand retrieve?
Yes. The listed lineup includes a left-hand Silver model, along with right-hand models in Silver, Blue, Black, and Gunmetal.

What is the difference between the MXL Raptor and MXJ Raptor?
The MXL uses a wider spool profile and is listed with up to 21 lb at strike and 31 lb at full. The MXJ uses a narrower profile and is listed with up to 17 lb at strike and 26 lb at full. Compare the MXJ Raptor if a narrower setup is the better fit.

Compact Size, Raptor-Level Stopping Power

The Avet SX Raptor Series 2-Speed Lever Drag Reel gives anglers a compact platform with the drag strength and gear control to handle serious saltwater fights. Its dual Avedrag carbon fiber system delivers up to 17 lb of drag at strike and 26 lb at full, while the 6.4:1 high gear and 3.8:1 low gear let you move quickly when a fish runs and lean on it when the fight gets heavy.

Built around a true one-piece 6061-T6 marine-grade aluminum frame, the SX Raptor feels solid in hand without turning a long day offshore into a workout. The MC Cast Control System adds five magnetic settings for more controlled spool management, and the reel is machined and assembled in the USA.

When a Compact Reel Needs More Muscle

Standard compact reels can be easy to fish but run out of authority when a strong fish changes direction or heads for structure. The SX Raptor solves that gap with a compact footprint, a powerful dual carbon drag, and a second gear for controlled pressure. You get the comfort of a small reel without giving up the leverage needed for yellowtail, white seabass, and other demanding saltwater applications.

Two Gears for the Whole Fight

Use high gear to pick up line quickly, work a lure, or stay connected during a fast run. Shift into low gear when you need torque at the rod tip, especially near structure or when a heavy fish refuses to come up. The lever drag gives you quick, repeatable pressure changes without taking your attention away from the fight.

The Right Pick If...

• You want a compact conventional reel with serious drag output.
• You fish saltwater for yellowtail, white seabass, and similar hard-pulling gamefish.
• You want MC cast control for more predictable spool management when casting.
• You prefer a 2-speed reel that can switch from fast line pickup to low-gear power.
• You want a USA-made Avet reel with a machined aluminum frame and included rod clamp.

Where It Fits in the Avet Lineup

The SX Raptor is the compact 2-speed choice in this group. If you want a single-speed version with the latest compact G2 platform, compare it with the Avet G2 SX Series. If you want the similar compact SXJ frame with right- or left-hand options, see the Avet SXJ Raptor. For a larger Raptor platform with more line capacity, step up to the Avet MXL Raptor.

Best Techniques and Conditions

• Offshore live bait: Use high gear to keep line tight during fast runs, then shift to low gear when the fish digs deep.
• Jigging and surface presentations: The compact frame and MC cast control help keep the setup manageable while the 2-speed system gives you options once a fish eats.
• Structure-oriented saltwater fishing: The dual carbon drag and low gear provide extra control when you need to turn a fish away from cover.

Choose the SX Raptor for saltwater trips where a compact reel, controlled casting, and a high-power drag system matter more than maximum spool volume.

Key Features

• Dual Avedrag carbon fiber drag: Up to 17 lb at strike and 26 lb at full.
• 2-speed gearing: 6.4:1 high gear and 3.8:1 low gear.
• MC Cast Control: Five magnetic settings for spool control.
• One-piece 6061-T6 aluminum frame: Precision-machined for strength and corrosion resistance.
• Raptor bearing package: Nine stainless steel ball bearings.

Tackle Express Tips

• Start in high gear when a fish is moving toward the boat, then shift to low gear as soon as you need extra torque.
• Use the MC dial to fine-tune spool control for your lure, line, and casting conditions. Make small adjustments rather than jumping straight to maximum tension.
• Set your strike position before the trip and keep the lever movement smooth. The preset makes it easier to return to a familiar pressure setting.

FAQ

Is the Avet SX Raptor left-hand retrieve?
The listed SX Raptor models are right-hand retrieve.

What is the difference between the SX Raptor and the SXJ Raptor?
Both are compact 2-speed Raptor reels with the same listed 6.4:1 / 3.8:1 gearing and 17 lb strike / 26 lb full drag. The SXJ listing adds a left-hand Silver option, while the SX listing is right-hand only. Compare the SXJ Raptor models before choosing your retrieve.

The biggest Tady surface iron

The Tady 4/0 Sr. Light Surface Iron is a super-sized version of the Tady 4/0 Light: about 3.5 to 3.7 oz and 6½ inches with a treble hook. It keeps the same swimming pattern while adding casting weight, so it carries farther into wind chop than the Tady 45 and shows a bigger profile when fish are on larger bait. Hand-crafted in the USA.

Why anglers choose the 4/0 Sr. Light

• Largest Tady surface iron: About 3.5–3.7 oz and 6½ inches.
• Same swimming pattern as the 4/0 Light: Scaled up for easier, longer casts.
• Pushes through wind: More mass than the Tady 45 when you need distance in chop.
• Treble hook: The traditional surface-iron hook setup.
• Hand-crafted in the USA: Built with the consistency expected from Tady Lures.

How to fish the 4/0 Sr. Light

Cast past feeding fish, working birds or kelp paddies. Let the iron settle for a second or two, then wind steadily in high gear with the rod tip pointed down. Don't pump the rod; the iron creates its own action. It gives up a little flutter compared with the 45 in exchange for mass that pushes through wind and chop.

Best for

• Species: Yellowtail, tuna and dorado.
• Conditions: Wind, chop and long casts to fish you can't reach with a lighter iron.
• Forage: Mackerel and other larger baitfish.
• Hook setup: Treble hook.

Specifications

• Brand: Tady Lures
• Model: 4/0 Sr. Light (Senior)
• Type: Surface iron jig
• Weight: Approximately 3.5–3.7 oz (varies slightly by finish)
• Length: 6½ in.
• Hook: Treble

Frequently asked questions

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

The Sr. Light is a super-sized version of the 4/0 Light with the same swimming pattern. It's about an ounce heavier, 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 smaller and lighter, with a single fixed hook.

Should I choose the 4/0 Sr. Light or the Tady 45?

Choose the Sr. Light when you need more casting weight in wind or fish are on bigger bait. Choose the 45 for most surface fishing on sardine-size bait in light to moderate wind.

Is the 4/0 Sr. Light a yo-yo iron?

No. It's a surface iron. For fish holding deep, use the Tady 4/0 Heavy, a 5.9 oz yo-yo iron.

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.
