The Tady 45 Surface Iron is the go-to for surface presentations and situations where fish are feeding on baitfish like sardines and mackerel. This surface iron provides the perfect combination of size and action for matching sardines, small mackerel, and other baitfish that pelagics often target. The 45's lighter weight and moderate profile make it ideal for calm conditions and picky fish.
Premium Design and Construction
- Compact Profile: Smaller size matches smaller baitfish for finesse presentations
- Long Casts: Not the smallest surface iron but not the biggest, this industry standard casts long distances so you can cover more water.
- Light Surface Weight: Ideal for calm conditions and situations requiring subtle presentations
- Proven Tady Shape: Legendary profile scaled down for finesse applications
- Durable Chrome Finish: Classic chrome plating provides maximum flash and withstands saltwater punishment
- Premium Hook: Sharp, strong hook sized appropriately for the compact profile
Classic Surface Iron Technique
The Tady 45 excels with the time-tested surface iron retrieve. Cast the iron to feeding fish or working birds, let it sink briefly, then retrieve with a straight wind which creates an erratic swimming motion all on it's own. The lighter weight and smaller profile create a more subtle presentation that's ideal when fish are feeding on smaller baitfish or when they're being selective. The compact size also makes it easier to cast when using an 8'-9' jig stick. Pair it with 30-40 pound monofilament and a great casting reel and you have the ultimate combo.
Built for Finesse Situations
Whether you're targeting yellowtail feeding on sardines, working for bonito and skipjack in calm conditions, pursuing calico bass with lighter tackle, casting to picky tuna that won't hit larger irons, or fishing any situation where a smaller profile triggers more strikes, the Tady 45 delivers consistent results. The compact size is especially effective in calm water when fish can see larger jigs more clearly and become selective about what they'll strike.
Tady Heritage and Quality
Tady has made legendary irons in Southern California for generations, and the 45 represents Tady's commitment to providing the right tool for every fishing situation. By scaling down the proven Tady profile, they created a jig that excels when conditions and fish behavior demand a more finesse approach. From party boats to private vessels, the Tady 45 has proven itself as an essential finesse tool for serious Southern California anglers.
Experience the finesse performance that selective fish demand. The Tady 45 Surface Iron isn't just a smaller jig—it's a specialized tool for situations where subtle presentations make the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Tady 45 weigh?
The Tady 45 weighs approximately 2.8oz - 3.2oz. Slight variation is normal with cast metal surface irons.
What line should I use?
For a traditional surface-iron setup, use 30–40 lb monofilament. You can also fish braid with a 30–40 lb mono or fluorocarbon leader, but mono is popular because its stretch helps keep hard-fighting fish pinned.
What fish does it catch?
The Tady 45 is a proven choice for yellowtail, bluefin and yellowfin tuna, bonito, barracuda, calico bass, and white seabass—especially when fish are keyed in on sardines or small mackerel.
How fast should it be retrieved?
Use a steady medium-to-fast retrieve that makes the jig swim with a wide side-to-side kick without spinning. Every iron swims a little differently, so adjust your speed until the lure has a strong, consistent action.
Tady 45 vs. Tady 4/0 Sr.: which should I choose?
Choose the Tady 45 for a smaller, lighter presentation when fish are feeding on compact bait or acting picky. Choose the larger Tady 4/0 Sr. when you want a bigger profile, more casting weight, or extra presence in wind, current, and rougher water.
What are the best colors for yellowtail and tuna?
For yellowtail, proven choices include Mint White, Scrambled Egg, Green Yellow, and Dorado-style patterns. For tuna, start with baitfish colors such as Mint Silver, Blue White, Chrome Blue, and sardine patterns. Match the local forage and light conditions; bright or high-contrast colors can help in low light, while natural silver and blue patterns are excellent in clear water.

The larger 4/0 profile creates more visual presence and appeals to trophy-class fish that prefer bigger meals.
