Bring serious holding power to big-bait saltwater presentations with the Dolphin Gitzem Jig Heads 8/0 Hook. Built around an ultra-strong, corrosion-resistant 8/0 Mustad hook, this winged jig head is made for anglers targeting powerful fish around inshore structure, deep reefs, and open offshore water.
Heavy-Duty Hardware for Big Baits
The 8/0 Gitzem pairs with large soft plastics, flukes, swimbaits, live bait, and strip baits. Its balanced winged head helps the bait swim naturally, while the molded bait keeper helps hold your trailer in place when current, structure, and hard strikes put extra pressure on the rig.
Why Anglers Choose the 8/0 Gitzem
- 8/0 Mustad hook: Ultra-strong construction for powerful saltwater predators and demanding fights.
- Winged hydrodynamic head: Helps create a natural swimming action and keeps the bait working through the water.
- Secure bait keeper: Locks large soft plastics, squid, live bait, and strip baits onto the shank.
- Saltwater-ready construction: Corrosion-resistant components stand up to harsh marine conditions.
- Six color choices: Select White, Glow, Orange, Red, Pink, or Chartreuse to match the light and water conditions.
Target Species and Applications
Rig the 8/0 for white seabass, yellowtail, tarpon, cobia, snook, grouper, amberjack, and other strong saltwater species. Fish it around inshore structure, over deep offshore reefs, or anywhere a larger bait profile and heavy-duty hook are part of the plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What baits work with an 8/0 Gitzem Jig Head?
The 8/0 is designed for larger soft plastics, flukes, swimbaits, live bait, and strip baits when you want a substantial saltwater presentation.
What fish can I target with the 8/0?
Use it for white seabass, yellowtail, tarpon, cobia, snook, grouper, amberjack, and other hard-pulling saltwater species.
Which weight should I choose?
Use lighter weights for shallower water and slower presentations, then move up in weight as depth, current, or wind demands more control. The lineup runs from 1/2 oz to 4 oz.
Heavy 4/0 power when fish stay deep
The Tady Lure Yo Yo 4/0 Iron is the heavy deep-water jig Southern California and Baja anglers reach for when yellowtail, tuna, white seabass and other pelagics are holding below the surface. At approximately 5.9 oz and 5¾ inches long, it's the heaviest Tady we carry. It sinks fast, cuts through current and produces the erratic high-speed yo-yo action that triggers reaction strikes.
Not to be confused with the Tady 4/0 Light or 4/0 Sr. Light, which are surface irons.
Why anglers carry the 4/0 Heavy
- 5.9 oz heavy weight: Gets down quickly and stays workable in current and deep water.
- Large 4/0 profile: Matches larger forage such as mackerel and sardines.
- Fast yo-yo action: Built for a quick, steady retrieve from depth.
- Proven Tady shape: Creates the flash and erratic kick that deep-feeding predators respond to.
- Chrome and painted finishes: A wide range of colors, from natural baitfish patterns to glow and holographic finishes.
- Hook options: Treble hook as standard, plus the Glow White Single (White Seabass) option.
- Hand-crafted in the USA: Built for repeated use on demanding saltwater trips.
How to fish the Tady 4/0
Drop the iron to the depth where fish are holding, or send it toward the bottom when conditions allow. Then engage the reel and wind fast and steadily. The heavy body creates the action as it climbs, while the weight helps the jig reach deep fish and stay effective when current is moving.
- Deep-water yo-yo: Drop, engage and retrieve quickly through the strike zone.
- Offshore banks and high spots: Keep the jig moving around deep structure where fish stack up.
- Baja and island trips: Use the 4/0 when fish will not come up to a surface presentation.
Best for
- Species: Yellowtail, tuna, white seabass, grouper and other deep-water fish.
- Depth: Deep structure, offshore banks, high spots and current-swept water.
- Forage: Larger baitfish such as mackerel and sardines.
- Technique: Fast, steady yo-yo retrieve from depth.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Tady 4/0 Heavy weigh?
The Tady 4/0 Heavy weighs approximately 5.9 oz and measures about 5¾ inches long.
Is the 4/0 Heavy the same as the 4/0 Light?
No. The 4/0 Light (about 2.6–2.8 oz) and 4/0 Sr. Light (about 3.5–3.7 oz) are surface irons. The 4/0 Heavy is a 5.9 oz yo-yo iron for fish holding deep.
What line and leader should I use?
A common heavy-iron setup uses 50–65 lb braid with a 40–60 lb fluorocarbon or monofilament leader, adjusted for the structure, current and fish you are targeting.
Which hook option should I choose?
Choose a standard treble-hook color for the traditional 4/0 presentation. Choose Glow White Single (White Seabass) when you want the single-hook option for white seabass fishing.
What retrieve works best?
Drop to depth, engage the reel and wind fast and steadily through the strike zone. The heavy profile creates its erratic kick as it climbs.
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. Its square tail generates a darting, unpredictable swim that draws reaction strikes from calico bass, halibut, lingcod, and more — even on tough days when finesse baits aren't getting it done.
The soft yet durable plastic holds up through multiple fish on the less toothy species. Rig it with a Big Hammer jig head and fish it slow for suspended fish or let it sink deep before starting your retrieve.
Key Features
- Square tail design — erratic, darting action that triggers reaction strikes
- 5" profile — larger presence for bigger target species
- Soft, durable plastic — holds up through multiple fish
- Versatile depth range — adjust with jig head weight
- 13 colors available — proven West Coast patterns
- Pairs with Big Hammer jig heads and Owner Stinger Harness
- Ideal for calico bass, halibut, lingcod, and inshore species
- Sold individually
Color Note
In 2020, Toast was updated to Toasted — same proven color with the addition of a black tail for enhanced contrast and effectiveness.

Owner Aki Twist Bait Hooks are the standard when it comes to fishing squid in Southern California. The long shank, offset point, and heavy gauge wire make this a big game hook that stands up to tough conditions. For a full size squid not cut, we follow Brandon Haywards recommendation of a 7/0.
Thread the hook through the squid 2-3 times and put it on a dropper loop or glow slider. We like to put the hook 3 feet from the weight on the dropper loop. For the glow sinker, let it slide all the way down to the hook.
We often use 1/4oz, 3/8oz, and 1/2oz sliders for white seabass and yellowtail. Try using a crane swivel for added security and bait action. 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 — 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 — 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 — clear water, finicky yellowtail, spooky white seabass, wary trout — 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 — less visible, better bait action
- 17% better knot and tensile strength despite smaller diameter
- Lowest line memory of any fluorocarbon leader — easier to manage, fewer tangles
- Extremely soft and supple — cinches easily for clean, reliable knots
- 100% fluorocarbon — near-zero stretch, abrasion resistant, UV stable
- Level Wind Technology for consistent, even spooling
- 25-yard spool — 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 — 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 (50–150lb) 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 2–3x your mainline test for most inshore and freshwater applications — 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 — 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 — 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 20–40lb Gold Label for yellowtail depending on conditions, and 25–40lb for white seabass. In cleaner, clearer water, drop down a size — the thinner diameter will get you more bites on pressured fish.
Can I use Gold Label for freshwater applications?
Absolutely. The lighter tests (2–12lb) 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. They absorb the light quickly and stay lit for a long time. The smooth surface inside the sinker won't damage your line.
These are great for night fishing or for fish that are attracted to light. 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.
Tie one of this on for your next trip, the Lead Masters Glow Egg Sinker may make the difference between no fish and lots of fish.

When fish are holding below the surface, the JRI Custom Lures JRI-6 Brass Yo-Yo Iron Jig gives you a dedicated iron to drop into the zone and work back up. The JRI-6 comes in nine colors, so you can keep the same yo-yo presentation while changing the look to suit the bait and conditions. It is a practical pick for West Coast anglers targeting yellowtail and other saltwater gamefish with a drop-and-retrieve approach.
Work the Water Below the Surface
A surface iron is not always the right tool when fish are marked deeper. Choose the JRI-6 when you want to send an iron down and retrieve it through the depth where fish are showing. This is a yo-yo jig, not a promise of the same swimming action as a lighter surface model.
Best For
- Techniques: Yo-yo iron fishing, vertical drops, and a steady winding retrieve.
- Species: Yellowtail, white seabass, and calico bass are among the targets named in the existing JRI-6 listing.
- Conditions: Fish holding below the surface on banks, reefs, or near kelp and structure, where a boat-based drop-and-retrieve presentation makes sense.
Find the Right Finish
Sardine and Mackerel give you familiar baitfish-style choices. Blue/White, Mint/White, White Pearl, and Solid Mint offer lighter or contrasting looks, while Dorado, Scrambled Egg, and Red Crab broaden the color range. Let the forage, light, water clarity, and fish response guide the switch rather than relying on a single color all day.
Key Features
- Brass yo-yo iron in the JRI-6 model.
- Nine selectable colors with individual SKUs for accurate reordering.
- Purpose-built for working below the surface rather than skipping across it.
How to Fish It
Drop to the depth where you are seeing fish, then wind the iron back through that zone. Vary your retrieve pace or try another color if fish show interest but do not bite. Around rocks and kelp, keep track of the jig's depth and check your line after contact with structure.
Tackle Express Tips
- Keep a baitfish pattern and a contrasting finish handy so a color change does not cost you much fishing time.
- Notice whether bites come on the drop or the wind, then repeat the part of the presentation that worked.
- Check your terminal connection after a hard fight or a snag.
- Brass is heavier than lead so these jigs have the same profile as a lead jig but sink much faster. This gets you to the zone faster which should result in more bites.
FAQ
Is the JRI-6 a surface iron? No. This is a yo-yo iron intended for a drop-and-retrieve presentation below the surface.
Are all nine colors the same model? Yes, the listed choices are JRI-6 color variants with separate SKUs.
Which color should I try first? Start with Sardine or Mackerel when baitfish are present, then try a contrasting finish if the conditions or fish response suggest a change.
Complete the Jig Bag
Compare the JRI-33 brass yo-yo iron and JRI-66 brass yo-yo iron for more JRI options, or add a Salas 6X heavy yo-yo iron for another classic West Coast choice. Select your JRI-6 color above and get ready for the next drop.
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 — sized to match adult squid and small mackerel, the forage white seabass and larger halibut feed on
- 1.2 oz body weight — enough mass to cast weightless, and enough body to stay down on a slow retrieve
- Soft, flexible plastic — the tail section flutters on the pause and on the drop rather than going stiff
- Two proven West Coast colors — Pearl White for clear water and bright conditions, Market Squid for low light, dirty water, and squid spawn
- Takes an 8/0 hook — 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 — buy the exact colors and quantity you need
Best Uses
Target Species
- White seabass — slow-rolled on an 8/0 head near kelp and structure, especially during squid spawn
- California halibut — dragged and hopped along sand flats and sand-to-structure edges
- Calico bass — worked over shallow kelp stringers and boiler rocks
- Striped bass — bays, harbors, and river mouths on a slow, steady retrieve
- Largemouth bass (trophy) — weightless glide for big fish on Castaic and Pyramid
Techniques
- Slow roll — 8/0 jig head, steady retrieve just off the bottom or just under the kelp canopy
- Yo-yo — lift and drop; most bites come on the fall, so watch your line
- Weightless glide — 8/0 EWG, twitch-twitch-pause; the bait darts side to side and hangs on the pause
- Bottom drag — 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 — 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 |
| 25–50 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 — 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 — mackerel, sardine, smelt |
| Market Squid | Low light, dirty water, night, squid spawn | The default choice when squid are on the grounds |

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 — 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 25–50 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 — 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 — 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.

Lead Egg Sinkers can be used in so many ways while fishing it's hard to say how the best way to use them is. For live bait fishing offshore in Southern California, we use them most often to get our bait deeper in the column. Often times the bird will eat your bait and just a little weight can get it out of reach of the birds and in the mouth of the fish.
In freshwater, they are often used for fishing the Carolina Rig for many different species. These lead weights are made by Leadmasters and are premium quality. Get some as an add on to your order like most of our customers do. We also have torpedo weights if you're looking for weights over 1oz.

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.
Izorline XXX Copolymer line is a favorite for anglers looking for small diameter, very strong, and low memory line.

The Izorline XXX Super Copolymer Smoke 1/4lb Spools offer exceptional strength and low memory in a compact diameter, making it a top choice for anglers. Its smoke color also provides a stealthy advantage by being less visible to fish. Experience the superior performance of this line and see why it's a favorite among veteran fishermen. Izorline has combined new space age additives, resulting in a monofilament that is:
- "Xtra" Limp - Soft And Easy To Tie.

Casting is easy and the low memory makes line management simple and problem free. The smoke color seems to blend into most water conditions better than other colors. If you haven't tried it, we highly recommend you do.
Hookup Baits Large Jigs 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. This can be very effective since it allows the bait to swim as it falls. 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. 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. 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. The bottom line is these baits get bit on salt and fresh water fish.

When you need a monofilament line that ties easily without giving up strength, Izorline XXX Super Copolymer Clear Fishing Line gives you a broad 2–40 lb size range on 1/4 lb spools. The listing highlights an extra-limp feel, strong construction, low memory, and abrasion resistance, with a clear/smoke presentation that can be less visible to fish.
Tie Cleanly, Fish Confidently
Izorline XXX is built for anglers who want line that is soft and easy to tie, while still bringing the strength and toughness needed for everyday freshwater and saltwater fishing. The wide range of available sizes makes it easier to match the line to your target and setup instead of forcing one compromise size.
When Stiff Line Gets in the Way
High-memory line can make knots and handling frustrating. The XXX Super Copolymer formula is listed as extra limp and low memory, helping the line feel more manageable when you are tying, rigging, or replacing line at the bench.
What It Does Well, and What to Keep in Mind
- Easy handling: The extra-limp construction is soft and easy to tie.
- Durable performance: The listing identifies the line as extra strong and extra tough, with great abrasion resistance.
- Broad selection: Available sizes run from 2 lb through 40 lb.
- Important spool detail: The spool is sold by weight, not by a fixed length of line. Smaller diameters can provide more line on the spool, which is why pricing can vary by size.
The Right Pick If...
Choose Izorline XXX when you want a versatile copolymer fishing line with low memory, easy knot handling, and a size range that covers light freshwater work through heavier saltwater applications. Choose the 1/4 lb spool format when the amount of line you need can vary by diameter.

Dial in a natural saltwater presentation with the Dolphin Gitzem Jig Heads 4/0 Hook. This compact winged jig head pairs a 4/0 Mustad hook with a ribbed bait keeper, giving smaller live baits and compact soft plastics the swimming action and holding power they need around kelp, rock, and current.
Built for Smaller Saltwater Presentations
The 4/0 Gitzem is a strong match for live squid, fresh strips, 4–5 inch soft plastics, flukes, and swimbaits. The winged head helps the bait track with a side-to-side swimming action, while the ribbed shank helps keep your bait in place through retrieves and hard strikes.
Why Anglers Choose the 4/0 Gitzem

- Winged head design: Helps the jig move naturally through the water and creates a walk-the-dog style action.
- Ribbed bait keeper: Holds soft plastics, squid, and strip baits securely on the shank.
- Versatile saltwater use: Fish it low and slow for white seabass, work it mid-water for yellowtail, or present it near the bottom for rockfish.
- Three proven colors: Choose White, Glow, or Blaze Orange for changing water clarity and light conditions.
Choose the 4/0 When...

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I pair with a 4/0 Gitzem Jig Head?
Use it with smaller live squid, fresh strip bait, or compact 4–5 inch soft plastics such as flukes and swimbaits.
What fish can I target with the 4/0?
The 4/0 is a versatile choice for white seabass, calico bass, yellowtail, and rockfish when the presentation calls for a smaller bait profile.
When should I choose the 4/0 instead of the 8/0?
Choose the 4/0 for smaller baits and more compact plastics. Move up to the 8/0 when you are fishing larger baits or targeting bigger, harder-pulling saltwater species.

Hookup Bait White Sea Bass (WSB) Special Jigs have the same profile, action, and fish catching power as the Original Hookup Baits. Just with a bigger and stronger hook to make hooking and landing the giant White Seabass (the Hookup baits are know to catch) a whole lot easier.
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. This can be very effective since it allows the bait to swim as it falls. 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. 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. 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.

- 3 x stronger Owner Hook, Large Body size.
