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
Whether you're targeting deep-water yellowtail on offshore banks and high spots, working yo-yo iron for tuna holding in deeper water, fishing deep structure and seamounts, pursuing trophy pelagics in areas with strong current, or dropping deep when fish won't come up, the 7X Heavy delivers the performance serious West Coast anglers demand. 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
The 7X shape has been a West Coast legend for over 50 years, and the Heavy version brings this proven profile to deep-water applications. 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. The combination of proven shape and heavy weight makes this iron essential for serious yo-yo fishing in deeper water.
