Deep-Water Yo-Yo Technique
The 4/0 excels with the classic deep-water yo-yo retrieve. Drop it to the desired depth β or straight to the bottom β then retrieve with a quick, steady winding pace that gives the jig its signature erratic swimming motion. The heavy weight punches through current and keeps the action tight even 150 feet down, and the larger profile creates more visual presence for fish keyed in on bigger bait. For a full breakdown of retrieve speed, rod angle, and hookset timing, see our Complete Iron Guide.
Pair It Like the Regulars Do
Ask any longtime SoCal iron fisherman and you'll hear the same combo: 45 on top, 4/0 on bottom. Run the lighter Tady 45 Surface Iron for shallow, surface-feeding fish, and switch to the 4/0 the moment fish drop deep or stop showing on top. Keeping both in the bag covers you from the kelp line to 150 feet down. Looking for something in between? The mid-range Tady A2 Iron and all-around Tady AA Iron fill the gap, and the Tady TLC Iron is purpose-built for trophy white seabass on deep structure.
How to Rig It
Pair the 4/0 with a stout jigging setup capable of handling both the drop and a hard hookset at depth β the Daiwa Outrage XV Slow Pitch Jigging Rod is a proven match. Run 40β60 lb Seaguar Blue Label Fluorocarbon Leader to stand up to abrasion on deep structure, and keep your whole iron collection organized and tangle-free with a Mustad Jig Pouch.
Built for Trophy Deep-Water Fish
Whether you're working deep-water yellowtail on offshore banks and high spots, chasing tuna holding below the surface, fishing seamounts and current-swept structure, or dropping deep on a Baja trip when fish won't come up, the 4/0 delivers. It's a staple for the Cedros Island run and any trip where Channel Islands white seabass and yellowtail are holding deep. New to iron fishing? Our Summer Fishing Setup Guide covers the reels and rods that pair best with heavy irons like this one.
Tady Heritage and Quality
Tady has hand-crafted legendary irons in Southern California for generations, and the 4/0 Yo Yo is the heavy-water workhorse serious trophy hunters trust. From party boats to private vessels, from San Diego to Baja, it's proven itself on countless fish and remains a go-to for anyone serious about deep-water yo-yo fishing.
FAQ
How much does the Tady 4/0 Yo Yo Iron weigh?
Approximately 5.9 oz, with a 5.75" length β the heavy end of the Tady lineup, built specifically for getting down fast in deep water.
What's the difference between the 4/0 and the Tady 45?
The 4/0 is heavier and larger, built for dropping deep and yo-yo retrieves. The lighter Tady 45 is built for surface presentations when fish are feeding on top. Many anglers carry both and switch based on where the fish are holding.
What line and leader should I use?
Most anglers run 40β60 lb fluorocarbon or mono leader over 50β65 lb braid, sized up from typical surface iron leader to handle abrasion from deep structure and bigger fish.
What's the best retrieve speed?
Fast and steady. Drop to depth, engage the reel, and wind quickly and consistently β the heavy weight and profile create the erratic kick on their own. Slowing down or pausing mid-retrieve is the most common reason anglers miss strikes on the yo-yo.
What colors work best?
Mint Silver, Blue White, and Chrome are proven all-around choices. Scrambled Egg and Mint White produce well when fish are keyed in on sardines, and Glow White is a go-to in low light or for white seabass fishing deep structure at night.
Get down fast and connect with trophy fish β the Tady Lure Yo Yo 4/0 Iron is built for the deep water others can't reach.
The Big Hammer 5" Swimbait is a West Coast go-to built for anglers who want a bigger profile with the same erratic, fish-triggering action the brand is known for.

Owner Aki Twist Bait Hooks are the standard when it comes to fishing squid in Southern California. Β The long shank, offset point, and heavy gauge wire make this a big game hook that stands up to tough conditions. Β For a full size squid not cut, we follow Brandon Haywards recommendation of a 7/0. Β
Thread the hook through the squid 2-3 times and put it on a dropper loop or glow slider. Β We like to put the hook 3 feet from the weight on the dropper loop. Β For the glow sinker, let it slide all the way down to the hook. Β
We often use 1/4oz, 3/8oz, and 1/2oz sliders for white seabass and yellowtail. Β Try using a crane swivel for added security and bait action. Β This unique swivel allows the bait to move 360 degrees around your main line.

The Leader That Disappears Underwater
Seaguar Gold Label Fluorocarbon Leader is engineered for situations where fish are leader-shy and every advantage matters. Built thinner and less visible underwater than any other fluorocarbon leader on the market, Gold Label gives you more natural presentations, better bait action, and higher catch rates on the fish that refuse everything else. From ultra-light trout rigs to heavy big game setups, it's available in 2lb through 150lb to cover every application.
Double-Structure Fluorocarbon β Built Different From the Inside Out
Seaguar's exclusive DSF (Double Structure Fluoro) process combines two custom fluorocarbon resins into a single leader with a smaller diameter core and a tougher outer layer. The result is a leader that's 18% thinner than standard fluorocarbon, 17% stronger in both knot and tensile strength, and significantly softer β so it cinches cleanly into fail-safe knots without the stiffness that causes slippage or breakage under pressure.
When Standard Fluorocarbon Costs You Fish
On pressured fisheries β clear water, finicky yellowtail, spooky white seabass, wary trout β leader visibility is often the difference between a bite and a refusal. Thicker, stiffer leaders kill bait action and flash in the water column. Gold Label's ultra-thin diameter and near-zero memory let your bait move freely and naturally, and its refractive index matches water so closely it effectively vanishes at depth.
Why Gold Label Outperforms Standard Fluorocarbon
- 18% thinner diameter β less visible, better bait action
- 17% better knot and tensile strength despite smaller diameter
- Lowest line memory of any fluorocarbon leader β easier to manage, fewer tangles
- Extremely soft and supple β cinches easily for clean, reliable knots
- 100% fluorocarbon β near-zero stretch, abrasion resistant, UV stable
- Level Wind Technology for consistent, even spooling
- 25-yard spool β right-sized for leader material use
The Right Pick If...
- You fish clear water where leader visibility costs you bites
- You need a leader that ties clean knots without stiffness or memory issues
- You're targeting finicky species that refuse heavier or more visible leaders
- You want one premium leader that covers light inshore to heavy offshore applications
- You trust Seaguar's fluorocarbon expertise β they invented it
Best Fishing Techniques
Ideal for live bait fishing, drop-shotting, finesse jigging, Carolina rigs, fly fishing tippet leaders, kite fishing, and any technique where leader invisibility and natural bait presentation are critical. Heavier sizes (50β150lb) are built for offshore big game, shark, and heavy inshore applications.
Best Conditions
Clear water, high-pressure fisheries, bright sunny days with high visibility, and any situation where fish are leader-shy or have been heavily targeted. Also excels in low-light conditions where the refractive index advantage keeps the leader invisible at depth.

Tackle Express Tips
- Match the test to your mainline: A good rule of thumb is to run Gold Label at 2β3x your mainline test for most inshore and freshwater applications β the thinner diameter keeps it invisible while still providing the abrasion resistance you need near structure.
- Use a loop-to-loop or FG knot: Gold Label's low memory and soft construction make it ideal for the FG knot when connecting to braid β the supple material cinches tight without the stiffness that causes slippage in stiffer fluorocarbons.
- Store out of direct sunlight: Even though fluorocarbon is UV-stable, prolonged direct sun exposure on the spool can degrade the resin over time. Keep spools in a tackle bag or drawer between trips to maximize shelf life.
FAQ
What makes Gold Label different from standard Seaguar fluorocarbon?
Gold Label uses Seaguar's exclusive DSF (Double Structure Fluoro) process β two custom fluorocarbon resins combined into one leader. This gives it an 18% thinner diameter and 17% better strength than standard fluorocarbon at the same test rating, plus significantly lower memory for easier handling.
Which test should I choose for yellowtail and white seabass?
Most Southern California anglers run 20β40lb Gold Label for yellowtail depending on conditions, and 25β40lb for white seabass. In cleaner, clearer water, drop down a size β the thinner diameter will get you more bites on pressured fish.
Can I use Gold Label for freshwater applications?
Absolutely. The lighter tests (2β12lb) are excellent for trout, bass, and panfish in clear lakes and rivers where leader visibility is a factor. The same invisibility advantage that works offshore works just as well in clear freshwater.
Lead Masters Glow Egg Sinkers have one of the best glow paints we've seen. Β They absorb the light quickly and stay lit for a long time. Β The smooth surface inside the sinker won't damage your line. Β
These are great for night fishing or for fish that are attracted to light. Β We've noticed that many time in low light or in deep water, the glow of an egg sinker is enough to bring fish from a long way off and tends to get them to bite better than a regular egg sinker. Β
Tie one of this on for your next trip, theΒ Lead Masters Glow Egg Sinker may make the difference between no fish and lots of fish.

The Sudden Impact 8" Fluke is a large-profile soft jerkbait built for anglers throwing big plastics at white seabass, halibut, and calico bass along the Southern California coast. At 8 inches and 1.2 oz, it matches the mackerel and squid-sized forage these fish are keyed on, and it carries enough mass to cast well on conventional and heavier spinning gear without a heavy head.
Rigged on an 8/0 swimbait jig head, it fishes as a slow-rolled or yo-yo presentation over structure, kelp edges, and sand-to-reef transitions. Rigged weightless on an 8/0 EWG hook, it glides and darts on slack line for shallow water and pressured fish.
What Makes This Bait Work
- 8" profile β sized to match adult squid and small mackerel, the forage white seabass and larger halibut feed on
- 1.2 oz body weight β enough mass to cast weightless, and enough body to stay down on a slow retrieve
- Soft, flexible plastic β the tail section flutters on the pause and on the drop rather than going stiff
- Two proven West Coast colors β Pearl White for clear water and bright conditions, Market Squid for low light, dirty water, and squid spawn
- Takes an 8/0 hook β the body is sized for an 8/0 jig head or 8/0 EWG, not a smaller bass-sized hook
- Sold as a single bait β buy the exact colors and quantity you need
Best Uses
Target Species
- White seabass β slow-rolled on an 8/0 head near kelp and structure, especially during squid spawn
- California halibut β dragged and hopped along sand flats and sand-to-structure edges
- Calico bass β worked over shallow kelp stringers and boiler rocks
- Striped bass β bays, harbors, and river mouths on a slow, steady retrieve
- Largemouth bass (trophy) β weightless glide for big fish on Castaic and Pyramid
Techniques
- Slow roll β 8/0 jig head, steady retrieve just off the bottom or just under the kelp canopy
- Yo-yo β lift and drop; most bites come on the fall, so watch your line
- Weightless glide β 8/0 EWG, twitch-twitch-pause; the bait darts side to side and hangs on the pause
- Bottom drag β for halibut, keep contact with the sand and pause every few feet
Choosing Your Jig Head
This bait takes an 8/0 hook. Head weight is the variable β pick it based on depth and current, not on the size of the bait.
| Conditions | Suggested Head Weight | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Shallow kelp, calm, under 25 ft | 1/2 oz | Keeps the bait high in the water column and preserves the glide |
| 25β50 ft, moderate current | 3/4 oz | Gets down without killing the flutter on the drop |
| Deep structure or strong current | 1 oz or 2 oz | Maintains bottom contact and bite detection in moving water |
| Weightless / shallow finesse | 8/0 EWG hook, no head | The bait's 1.2 oz body carries the cast on its own |
Match the hook, not just the weight. A 4/0 head is too small for an 8" body β the hook point sits too far forward and you will miss fish. Rig this bait on an 8/0 head. The Lead Masters Fluke Head is purpose-built for baits like this one and comes in 1/2 oz, 3/4 oz, 1 oz, and 2 oz, so it covers every row of the table above.
Color Selection
| Color | Best Conditions | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pearl White | Clear water, bright sun, mid-day | Baitfish imitation β mackerel, sardine, smelt |
| Market Squid | Low light, dirty water, night, squid spawn | The default choice when squid are on the grounds |

| Main line | 40β65 lb braid |
| Leader | 25β40 lb fluorocarbon; go heavier around kelp and structure |
Pro Tips
- Most of your bites come on the fall. Keep a slight bow in the line on the drop and watch where the line enters the water β you will see the bite before you feel it.
- Nose-hook it straight. If the bait sits crooked on the head, it will spin on the retrieve and kill the action. Lay the hook along the body before you thread it and mark where the point should exit.
- Slow down for white seabass. The retrieve that feels too slow is usually the right one, particularly during a squid spawn when fish are gorging and lazy.
Common Mistakes
- Using a hook that's too small. A bass-sized 4/0 leaves the point buried in an 8" body. Use 8/0.
- Over-weighting the head. Too much lead on shallow kelp drops the bait past the strike zone and flattens the glide. Start light and add weight only if you can't hold bottom.
- Retrieving too fast. This is a big, slow-moving profile. Burning it looks unnatural and pulls it away from structure-holding fish.
- Setting the hook too early. On a soft plastic this size, let the fish load the rod before you swing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size hook does the 8" Fluke take?
8/0. Either an 8/0 swimbait jig head or an 8/0 EWG hook for weightless rigging. A 4/0 is too small for this body length.
Is this sold in a pack or as a single bait?
Single bait. The listed price is for one 8" soft jerkbait in the color you select.
Can I fish this in freshwater?
Yes. It works as a trophy largemouth bait rigged weightless on an 8/0 EWG, particularly on local lakes with large trout and shad forage.
Which color should I start with?
Market Squid in low light, dirty water, or during a squid spawn. Pearl White in clear water and bright sun. If you're buying one of each, that covers most Southern California conditions.
How do I rig it weightless?
Thread an 8/0 EWG hook through the nose, run it down the body, and exit the point through the top so the bait sits straight. Keep the point exposed or lightly skin-hooked so it drives home on the hookset.
What jig head weight should I use?
1/2 oz for shallow kelp and calm conditions, 3/4 oz for 25β50 feet or moderate current, and 1 oz or 2 oz for deep structure and strong current. See the jig head table above.
Will this work for halibut?
Yes. Fish it on an 8/0 head, dragged and hopped along sand flats and along the edges where sand meets structure. Pause it frequently β halibut ambush from the bottom.

From the Shop
We stock this bait because it's what our customers throw when they're targeting bigger fish with soft plastics on the local coast β the profile matches what white seabass and larger halibut are eating, and the 8/0 hook size means you're rigged for fish that pull. If you're not sure which head weight fits the water you're fishing, come see us on Soledad Canyon Road in Santa Clarita and we'll match it to your rod and your spot.

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 β 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 β 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 β premium materials for strength that holds up on hard-running fish
- Cutting point β drives home on the strike for more reliable hooksets
- Lightweight design β lets bait swim naturally without dragging it down
- Short shank β stays hidden on smaller baitfish like anchovies and smelt
- Black chrome finish β corrosion-resistant and low-visibility in saltwater
- Closed straight eye β direct knot connection, no added hardware
Single Pack or Pro Pack β 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 β up to 46 hooks β 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 β 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 β 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 β you get 4β6x 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 β some anglers prefer it for larger baits or when fish are short-striking.
What size should I use for anchovies?
Size 6β8 for small anchovies, Size 2β4 for medium, and Size 1 or 1/0 for large anchovies. When in doubt, go smaller β a hook that's too large will drag the bait down and reduce its swimming action.

Hookup Baits Large JigsΒ have to be one of the most popular sizes Hookup Baits produces, the 5/8oz Red Crab and Mint are known as the "White Seabass Special"
There are many ways to fish the hookup bait but casting it out and letting it fall on a tight line will pendulum it down in an arc. Β This can be very effective since it allows the bait to swim as it falls. Β This is effective when fish are suspended in the column and not on the top or bottom.
If fish are on the bottom, we like to let it sink to the bottom and pop it off the bottom and then allowing it to sink back down. Β Continue this retrieve all the way back to the boat or shore.
If they are in the upper part of the column, cast and start retrieving soon after the lure hits the surface. Β Most of the time a slow and steady retrieve works best but you can also burn it on the surface for very active surface feeding fish.
Tie a Hookup Bait on and see what method works best for you. Β The bottom line is these baits get bit on salt and fresh water fish.

Elevate your saltwater game with the Dolphin Gitzem Jig Heads, featuring a precision-sized 4/0 Mustad Hook. Specifically engineered for the West Coastβs most coveted species, these jig heads are the gold standard for targeting White Seabass, Calico Bass, and Yellowtail. While the larger 8/0 version is built for massive baits, the 4/0 model offers superior presentation for smaller live squid, fresh strips, or compact soft plastics like flukes and swimbaits.
The signature winged head design is more than just aesthetic; itβs a performance feature that allows the jig to "walk-the-dog" underwater, creating an irresistible side-to-side swimming motion that triggers aggressive strikes. Whether youβre fishing shallow rock piles or drifting over kelp forests, the Dolphin Gitzem provides the perfect balance of weight and natural action.

-
Ribbed Bait Keeper: Features a molded-in shank designed to lock soft plastics and squid firmly in place, even through heavy strikes and fast retrieves.
-
Versatile Saltwater Performance: Optimized for the "low and slow" presentation favored by Seabass pros, but equally effective for mid-water Yellowtail or bottom-dwelling Rockfish.
-
Durable Finishes: Available in a variety of high-visibility and natural colors, including Glow, White, and Orange, to match water clarity and light conditions.
