Tady C - Surface

The Tady C is a surface iron anyone can fish.  The C swims great, provides a really nice kick and action.  You really don't have to be an old salt with decades of experience to make 'em swim and get bit.  The C's will get the attention you deserve, without much of a learning curve on your part.  We stock three of the C's in both treble and fixed single hook designs.  The fixed hooks make it easier to release fish you don't plan on keeping.  Locally, the barracuda are a blast on surface iron, the the fixed hooks really make it easier to practice catch and release.

Tady 45 - Surface

There's no more respected surface jig on the market than the venerable Tady 45.  I doubt you'll find any SoCal angler without a half dozen or more in their tackle box.  There really aren't too many fish that won't eat a 45 when you get the speed dialed in.  The 45 swims great in the hands of an experienced fisherman.  There is some skill needed with a 45, you have to get the speed right to really make 'em swim well.  Once you're dialed in, they do GREAT!

Tady 77 - Surface

Tady's 77 is a BIG surface iron, great for larger size yellowtail, tuna, anything hungry enough to want to nail something more than a simple snack.  The 77 is like a 45 that grew up.  It's a fine swimming lure, similar to the 45 in that you'll probably experiment a bit to get the speed right for it's best action.

Tady Y2 - Surface

Tady TLC - YoYo

Tady's TLC is a delightful chunk of stubby iron to fish.  It really is a trick product.  For the guys in the know, it's also a wonderful white seabass lure.  Pin on a squid (live or dead), then cast it up on the beach.  Swim the lure back, slowly on the bottom, almost like you would if fishing a plastic worm for big freshwater bass. It works well.  This is also a great casting lure, with it's short wind cheating size and relatively heavy weight.  You can fish it vertically, yoyo style, or as described cast and retrieve.

 

Tady TLC: 3 ounces, 3.5" length

 

Tady A2 - YoYo or Surface

The A2 is a do anything lure.  You can swim it, vertical jig it, use it cast and retrieve...  It's a very versatile lure that will get a lot of use.  With it's 4 ounce weight, you can cast it a great distance, and with it's swimming action you can achieve some impressive catches.  If the fish are out there, you can cover enough water to really assist filling your sack.  We offer this lure in a couple configurations, with the chrome lures rigged with a single siwash hook for tuna and wahoo, and the painted lures geared more for yellowtail, jacks, and most other species. 

 

Tady A2: 4.2 ounces, 4.75" length

 

Tady AA - YoYo or Surface

The AA is a little lighter than the A2, so it has a little slower drop when you use it as a cast and retrieve lure.  It swims well, also can be used yoyo style with a little softer flutter than the AA.  It's a dandy yellowtail lure, and you can really work water column well with this design.  It's also quite economical, not too hard on the budget, but it's murderous on fish!

Tady #9 - YoYo or Surface

Tady's #9 is another lure that works well cast and retrieve or vertically in the yoyo style.  It's a fatter bodied lure than the A2 or AA jigs so it's flutter on the drop is fairly soft.  Again, it does well for a wide range of fish, jigged off the bottom or worked through the water column.  The chrome with blue mackerel pattern is a very interesting lure, made of solid brass with a  single siwash hook.  It's got tuna written all over it!

Tady 4/0 - YoYo

Tady's big 4/0 is a lure named after the size reel it's most commonly fished with.  It's meaty, big and heavy.  You can toss it a mile with your 4/0 reel, even if you aren't comfortable casting this size reel.
