White Seabass Lures

Deep-Water Power with Trophy-Class Profile

The Tady Lure Yo Yo 4/0 Iron combines the larger 4/0 profile with the extra weight needed for serious deep-water yo-yo fishing. Hand-crafted in the USA with meticulous attention to detail, this heavy yo-yo iron delivers the perfect combination of size, weight, and action for dropping deep and working the classic yo-yo retrieve that triggers strikes from trophy yellowtail, deep-feeding tuna, and other pelagics holding in deeper water.

Premium Design and Construction

• Hand-Crafted in USA: Each jig is individually made with quality control that ensures consistent performance
• Heavy Yo-Yo Weight: Extra weight gets down to deep-feeding fish quickly and maintains proper action in current
• Larger 4/0 Profile: Senior size matches bigger baitfish and appeals to trophy-class predators
• Proven Tady Shape: Legendary profile that has produced countless trophy fish for generations
• Durable Chrome Finish: Classic chrome plating provides maximum flash and withstands deep-water punishment
• Premium Treble Hook: Heavy-duty hook handles aggressive strikes from deep-water predators

Deep-Water Yo-Yo Technique

The 4/0 Yo Yo excels with the classic deep-water yo-yo retrieve. Drop the iron down to the desired depth or all the way to the bottom, then retrieve with a quick, steady winding pace that creates an erratic swimming motion. The heavy weight gets down fast, cuts through current, and maintains proper action even in deep water. The larger 4/0 profile creates more visual presence and appeals to trophy-class fish that prefer bigger meals. The chrome finish creates intense flash and darting action that triggers reaction strikes from yellowtail, tuna, and other pelagics holding deep.

Built for Trophy Deep-Water Fish

Whether you're targeting deep-water yellowtail on offshore banks and high spots, working yo-yo iron for trophy tuna holding in deeper water, fishing deep structure and seamounts, pursuing big pelagics in areas with strong current, or dropping deep when fish won't come up, the 4/0 Yo Yo delivers the performance serious trophy hunters demand. The combination of heavy weight and larger profile is ideal when fish are holding deep and feeding on bigger baitfish like mackerel or sardines.

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.

Take your big-game finesse to the next level with the Basstrix DuraTrix 7"Jerk Minnow. Renowned for their legendary swimbaits, Basstrix has engineered the DuraTrix series to provide the perfect balance of incredible lifelike action and extreme durability. While traditional soft plastics often tear after a single strike, the DuraTrix material is designed to withstand the violent headshakes of trophy bass, pike, and saltwater predators, ensuring you spend more time fishing and less time re-rigging.  

The 7-inch profile offers a substantial presence in the water, mimicking large forage like gizzard shad, hitch, or blueback herring. Its streamlined jerkbait shape produces an erratic, darting "walk-the-dog" action when worked on a weighted or unweighted swimbait hook, triggering instinctive reaction strikes from the most pressured fish.

Key Features:

• Enhanced DuraTrix Durability: Specially formulated material that is significantly tougher than standard soft plastics, allowing for multiple catches per bait without sacrificing flexibility.

• Hyper-Realistic Finishes: Features the iconic Basstrix hand-painted details and multi-layer scales that provide unmatched realism in clear water conditions.

• Versatile Presentation: Perfect for weightless rigging over submerged vegetation, heavy-duty belly-weighted hooks for deeper structure, or even as a high-profile trailer for oversized scrounger heads.  

• Anatomical Design: The sleek, tapered body and lifelike eye placement create a natural silhouette that fools even the wariest "kicker" fish.
