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.

Tady Heritage and Quality

Tady has been hand-crafting legendary irons in Southern California for generations, earning a reputation for quality and fish-catching performance that serious anglers trust. The 4/0 Yo Yo continues this proud tradition, combining proven design with the weight and size needed for deep-water trophy fishing.

The Big Hammer 5" Swimbait is a West Coast go-to built for anglers who want a bigger profile with the same erratic, fish-triggering action the brand is known for.

Izorline XXX Super Copolymer Smoke Fishing Line— 1/4lb Spools

When you need a line that disappears in the water column and holds up under pressure, Izorline XXX Super Copolymer Smoke delivers. Engineered with next-generation space-age additives, this monofilament packs exceptional strength into a small diameter — giving you more line on the spool and a stealthy edge over wary fish.

The smoke color is purpose-built for low visibility, making it a go-to for targeting sharp-eyed species like yellowtail, white seabass, and tuna. Whether you're fishing the surf, jigging offshore, or chasing trout in freshwater, XXX Copolymer performs where it counts.

Key Features

• "Xtra" Limp — Soft, supple, and easy to tie reliable knots
• "Xtra" Strong — Izorline's strongest monofilament ever produced
• "Xtra" Tough — Superior abrasion resistance for rocky structure and heavy cover
• Low Memory — Minimal coil and line twist for longer, more accurate casts
• Small Diameter — More line capacity on your reel without sacrificing strength
• Smoke Color — Near-invisible underwater for a stealthy presentation

Specifications

Note: Spools are sold by weight, not line length. Lighter test lines have more yardage per spool due to smaller diameter.

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 the Billfishes Combi swivel for added security and bait action.  This unique swivel allows the bait to move 360 degrees around your main line.

Seaguar Gold Label Fluorocarbon Leader is not only thinner, it's even less visible underwater than all other fluorocarbon leaders.  You also get the advantage of more natural presentations and better catch-rates on finicky fish. Made with our exclusive double-structure process, we combine two custom Seaguar fluorocarbon resins to create a leader with smaller diameters yet with exceptional knot and tensile strength. It’s softer as well and cinches easily for fail-safe knots.

Features:

• 18% Thinner Diameter
  
• 17% Better Knot/Tensile Strength
  
• Extremely soft and supple and cinches easily for fail-safe knots
  
• Lowest Line Memory** making line management more user friendly
  
• 100% Fluorocarbon Leader
  
• DSF - Double Structure Fluoro
  
• Level Wind Technology
  
• Spool Length: 25 Yards
  

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.

The Sudden Impact 8" Fluke Soft Jerkbait is the go-to big-profile jerkbait for anglers targeting white seabass, halibut, and trophy bass. At 8 inches, it out-sizes the salt-infused competition with superior buoyancy and durability that holds up through repeated strikes and aggressive hook sets — giving you more casts per bait and more fish per session.

Rig it on a Dolphin Gitzem Jig Head for deep saltwater structure, or go weightless on an EWG hook for finesse presentations over freshwater flats and kelp edges. The natural glide and flutter on the fall triggers reaction strikes from pressured fish that have seen every other jerkbait in the water.

Key Features

• Oversized 8" profile — matches large forage for white seabass, halibut, calico bass, and stripers
• Superior buoyancy — floats and flutters on the pause, triggering reaction strikes on the drop
• Durable construction — outlasts salt-infused competitors through multiple strikes without tearing
• Versatile rigging — Dolphin Gitzem Jig Head for saltwater, weightless EWG for freshwater
• Available in 2 proven colors — Pearl White and Market Squid
• Sold individually

Made from 100% Seaguar resins and produced using our proprietary extrusion process.

Available Line Sizes - 25 Yards

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.

Izorline XXX Copolymer line is a favorite for anglers looking for small diameter, very strong, and low memory line. There is also something about the smoke color that seems to be less visible to fish. We like the fishability of the line and find that it hasn't failed us or our customers. The Izorline XXX Super Copolymer Smoke 1/4lb Spools offer exceptional strength and low memory in a compact diameter, making it a top choice for anglers. Its smoke color also provides a stealthy advantage by being less visible to fish. Experience the superior performance of this line and see why it's a favorite among veteran fishermen. Izorline has combined new space age additives, resulting in a monofilament that is:

• "Xtra" Limp - Soft And Easy To Tie.
• "Xtra" Strong - Our Strongest Mono Ever!
• "Xtra" Tough - Great Abrasion Resistance.

Casting is easy and the low memory makes line management simple and problem free.  The smoke color seems to blend into most water conditions better than other colors.  If you haven't tried it, we highly recommend you do.

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.

Elevate your saltwater game with the Dolphin Gitzem Jig Heads, featuring a precision-sized 4/0 Mustad Hook. Specifically engineered for the West Coast’s most coveted species, these jig heads are the gold standard for targeting White Seabass, Calico Bass, and Yellowtail. While the larger 8/0 version is built for massive baits, the 4/0 model offers superior presentation for smaller live squid, fresh strips, or compact soft plastics like flukes and swimbaits.   

The signature winged head design is more than just aesthetic; it’s a performance feature that allows the jig to "walk-the-dog" underwater, creating an irresistible side-to-side swimming motion that triggers aggressive strikes. Whether you’re fishing shallow rock piles or drifting over kelp forests, the Dolphin Gitzem provides the perfect balance of weight and natural action.  

Key Features:

• Precision 4/0 Mustad Hook: High-carbon steel for maximum penetration and strength. The 4/0 size is ideal for better hookup ratios when using smaller live baits or 4-5 inch soft plastics.  

   

• Hydrodynamic Winged Design: Engineered to plane in the current, giving your bait a lifelike "swimming" action that standard round heads can't match.

• Ribbed Bait Keeper: Features a molded-in shank designed to lock soft plastics and squid firmly in place, even through heavy strikes and fast retrieves.  

• Versatile Saltwater Performance: Optimized for the "low and slow" presentation favored by Seabass pros, but equally effective for mid-water Yellowtail or bottom-dwelling Rockfish.

• Durable Finishes: Available in a variety of high-visibility and natural colors, including Glow, White, and Orange, to match water clarity and light conditions.   

Product Specifications:

• 3 per pack 1/2oz - 3/4oz
• 2 per pack 1oz

Phenix Axis Conventional Rods are built with the latest materials and design for the strongest, lightest rods available. Our composite blends of S-Glass and T-16 carbon fiber offer powerful strength-to-weight ratios, while multi-helix construction makes our rods perfect for saltwater. With thin diameters and light materials, Phenix Axis Conventional Rods offer superior strength, responsiveness, and castability.

The 7'2" 2X Heavy and 3X Heavy are considered rail rods with a longer foregrip.  You may ask yourself "Why would I want a rod that long and that heavy?"  The longer rod is necessary for a rail rod because so much of the rod is fore grip.  When the fore grip is put on the rail, you may have only 4-5 feet of the rod actually fighting the fish.  The more rod you have outside the rail, on the water side of the rail, the more the fish has to fight.  This makes it much easier for the angler to fight the fish because the fulcrum is now the rail and not your arms.  

All Rods are packaged with extreme care! Rods over 8' do not qualify for free shipping.

Being fisherman ourselves we take pride in not having rods break during shipping, to ensure they'll be enjoyed and fished. We make sure every rod is wrapped tightly with bubble wrap in the crucial areas and are suspended in a thick rod tube, to keep from being crushed or banged around.
