White Seabass Terminal Tackle

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dominate deep-water tuna and other pelagic species with the Dolphin Tackle Wired-Thru Torpedo Sinkers. Specifically engineered for West Coast sportfishing, these premium lead weights are the go-to choice for anglers running "Eddie bomb" rigs and deep-water sinker rigs. Unlike standard sinkers that rely on fragile brass eyelets, the Dolphin design features a heavy-duty stainless steel wire running through the entire body for unmatched structural integrity during the most violent bluefin tuna battles.

Key Performance Features:

• Wired-Thru Construction: Features a robust, full-length stainless steel wire for superior strength, allowing for direct-to-sinker rigging without the need for additional safety cables.

• High-Speed Descent: The sleek torpedo profile minimizes water resistance, ensuring your bait reaches the strike zone rapidly even in strong offshore currents.

• "Eddie Bomb" Ready: Optimized for rigging with assist hooks or trebles on the bottom end, making it a proven "secret weapon" for targeting trophy Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna.

• Corrosion Resistant: Built with high-quality lead and polished wire ends to withstand the harsh, corrosive environments of long-range saltwater expeditions.

• San Diego Sportfishing Standard: Widely trusted by professional crews for sinker rigs often paired with rubber bands for easy detachment during a fight.
