Saltwater Jigs

The Nomad Design Buffalo Jig is a center-balanced, slow pitch jig, commonly known as a flatfall jig, designed to imitate a wounded baitfish through its captivating fluttering motion during descent. Built with premium materials for durability and tournament-level performance, it excels at targeting deep-water species such as tuna, snapper, amberjack, grouper, and other reef dwellers. Its distinctive fluttering action initiates the fall before quickly sinking to deeper depths, making it perfect for slow pitch jigging using long, deliberate rod lifts followed by a controlled drop. 

The Buffalo Jig features a super-strong, super-sharp 5X BKK assist hook rigged on the tail to optimize hook-up rates during the slower fall. Available in vibrant colors with glow paint options (e.g., Full Glow Pink, Silver Glow Stripe), the jig maximizes attraction with a sideways kick and flash, expanding the strike zone for deep-sea species. Tested under extreme conditions by Nomad Design’s experienced team, the Buffalo Jig is a versatile, high-performance lure ready to tackle the toughest gamefish right out of the package.

P-Line Laser Minnow has a very distinctive fall which triggers a bite from a wide variety of fish.  Simply drop it down and either wind it back at a fast pace, or pop the rod tip up and down. 

It can also be cast and retrieved like a spoon or surface iron.  Simple wind it back at a steady retrieve, too fast and it will wash out.  Too slow and it will have a lazy wander to it.

The finish is holographic and has a realistic eye to fool hungry fish into biting.  Putting a snap on the tie point will give it better action allowing it to more freely move through the water.  You can take off the stock hook and rig it with a single hook or assist hooks from the top or bottom ring.  Tying to the side with the eye and putting the assist hooks on the same side will help prevent snags when fishing the bottom.

Comes one per pack.

Versatile All-Around Performance 

The Salas 6X Jr Yo-Yo Iron Jigs represent the sweet spot in the Salas lineup, delivering versatile performance across a wide range of conditions and target species. Hand-crafted in Southern California with the meticulous quality that has made Salas legendary for over 50 years, the 6X Jr provides the ideal balance of weight, casting distance, and swimming action for serious West Coast pelagic fishing from kelp beds to offshore banks.

Proven Design and Construction

• Hand-Crafted in USA: Each jig is individually made in Southern California with quality control that ensures consistent performance
• Versatile Weight Profile: Perfect mid-range weight for most conditions and target species
• Optimized Balance: Precisely weighted for excellent casting distance and ideal swimming action
• Durable Chrome Finish: Classic chrome plating delivers maximum flash and withstands saltwater punishment
• Premium Treble Hook: Sharp, strong hook handles everything from schoolies to trophy-class fish

Classic Yo-Yo Effectiveness

The 6X Jr excels with the time-tested yo-yo retrieve that West Coast anglers have relied on for generations. Cast the iron to feeding fish or working birds, let it sink to the desired depth, then retrieve with a rhythmic pumping action that creates an erratic darting motion. The versatile weight makes it effective in a wide range of conditions—light enough for finesse presentations when fish are picky, yet heavy enough to reach distant boils and work moderate depths. The chrome finish creates intense flash that attracts fish from a distance and triggers reaction strikes.

All-Around Versatility

Whether you're targeting yellowfin and skipjack tuna on offshore banks, working kelp beds for yellowtail, casting to dorado around kelp paddies and floating debris, pursuing bonito in feeding frenzies, fishing for barracuda along the coast, or searching for roosterfish in Baja waters, the 6X Jr delivers consistent results. The mid-range weight makes it the ideal choice when you're not sure what conditions you'll encounter or when targeting multiple species in a single trip.

The Go-To Choice

Many experienced West Coast anglers consider the 6X Jr their go-to surface iron because it handles the widest range of situations effectively. It's light enough to work well in calm conditions with picky fish, yet heavy enough to cast into the wind and reach deeper-feeding pelagics. This versatility makes it an essential jig for party boats, private vessels, and kayak anglers who need one iron that does it all. From San Diego to Cabo San Lucas, the 6X Jr has proven itself as a reliable producer across decades of West Coast fishing.

Experience the versatile performance that makes the 6X Jr a staple in tackle boxes throughout the West Coast. The Salas 6X Jr Yo-Yo Iron isn't just another jig—it's the all-around performer that handles whatever conditions and species you encounter.

Cover all your bases with Salas 6X Jr Yo-Yo Iron Jigs—where versatility meets proven performance.

When the yellowtail aren't on the surface — when they're holding deep on a hard-bottom spot off the back side of Catalina, stacked on a bank out of Point Loma, or pinned to structure at the Coronados — you stop throwing surface iron and you drop the 6X. This is the yo-yo iron West Coast anglers have trusted for decades to get down to the fish and trigger a reaction bite on the way back up.

The 6X is built to sink fast and stay true on a hard, fast retrieve. You drop it to the bottom (or to the meter marks where the fish are showing), then crank it back up as fast as you can turn the handle — that's the "yo-yo." The 6X's profile holds its swimming action even at that speed instead of spinning out, which is exactly what makes a deep yellowtail commit. When they're being lazy down there, a fast, fleeing 6X is what changes their mind.

Hand-cast and hand-painted by Matt Salas right here in Southern California, every 6X comes out a little different. The slight finish and weight variations aren't flaws — they're the mark of an iron built one at a time by someone who actually fishes it. Don't expect factory-perfect paint. Expect a jig that catches fish.

Where it shines

• Deep yellowtail holding on hard bottom, banks, and high spots
• Yo-yo fishing the back side of Catalina, the Coronados, and offshore banks
• Reaction bites on fish marked deep that won't come up for surface iron
• Bonito, barracuda, and tuna that crash a fast-cranked iron

Rigging notes: Yo-yo iron demands a fast, high-capacity reel and a stout rod to move fish out of structure — fish it on 40–65 lb depending on how deep and how heavy the spot is. Heavier line and a faster retrieve are your friends down deep. Hook is pre-attached — ready to fish out of the package.

Deep-Water Power for Trophy Yellowtail and Tuna

The Salas 7X Heavy Yo-Yo Iron Jigs combine the legendary fish-catching shape of the classic 7X with the extra weight needed for deep-water yo-yo fishing. Hand-crafted in Southern California, this specialized heavy iron is purpose-built for dropping deep and working the yo-yo retrieve that West Coast anglers rely on for trophy yellowtail, deep-feeding tuna, and other pelagics holding in deeper water.

Heavy-Duty Deep-Water Design

Deep-Water Yo-Yo Technique

The 7X Heavy 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 proven 7X shape creates the darting, flashing action that triggers strikes from yellowtail, tuna, and other pelagics holding deep. Works best with 30-40 lb monofilament as your main line or top shot for optimal action and durability.

Built for Deep Yellows and Tuna

The extra weight is essential when fish are holding deep and lighter irons won't get down fast enough or maintain proper action in current.

West Coast Deep-Water Tradition

From party boats to private vessels, from San Diego to Baja, the 7X Heavy has earned its reputation as a go-to choice when yellowtail and tuna are holding deep.

When yellowtail are boiling around a kelp paddy off Catalina, pushing bait along the Channel Islands kelp lines, or chasing sardines through the La Jolla canyons, the Salas 7X is what goes on first. This is not a trendy jig — it's been earning its spot in SoCal tackle bags for over 50 years because it does exactly what a surface iron needs to do: casts a country mile, lands flat, and swims with a side-to-side kick that drives yellowtail crazy.

At 3.5 oz and 6.5 inches, the 7X sits in a sweet spot that works equally well on the iron rods of a full-day sportboat or off the bow of a private boat drifting into a Baja kelp paddy. The offset hips give it a slower, wider kick than a straight-body iron — critical when yellows are being picky or water temps are running on the cooler side. When the fish want a fast burn, you can speed it up. When they want it lazy, you can slow it down. Few surface irons are this versatile.

Hand-cast and hand-painted by Matt Salas right here in Southern California, every 7X comes out slightly different — that's not a flaw, it's the point. The imperfect finishes and slight weight variations are part of what gives this jig its character on the water. Don't expect flawless factory paint. Expect a fish-catching iron built by someone who actually fishes.

Where it shines

• Yellowtail around Catalina and the Channel Islands kelp structure
• Kelp paddy fishing from La Jolla to Ensenada and beyond
• Coastal kelp forest edges when fish are pushing bait to the surface
• Baja sessions targeting yellowtail, dorado, and tuna on the iron

Rigging notes: Fish it on 30–50 lb fluorocarbon depending on conditions. In clear, calm water off Catalina or the islands, drop to 30–40 lb for more natural action. In Baja or around structure, don't be afraid to go heavier. Hook is pre-attached — ready to fish out of the package.

The chrome finish creates intense flash that attracts fish from a distance, while the popping action triggers reaction strikes from competitive feeders.
