surface iron

Over the summer the Baracuda and Calico bite was crazy! Crazy for the Jig. This video is an aerial perspective shot on the DJI MavicAir 2 of Baracuda slamming the jig. We put a lot of time into editing this video. Let us know what you think of the video in the comments section. Were hoping...

I recently lost my favorite (and Lucky) DW-1 on a 1.5 day trip on the Navegante Sportfishing out of Redondo on 10-15-2020. I acquired this particular jig on 6-26-2020 when I delivered the first shipment of DW-1s to H&M landing and Jerry (owner of JRI) gave me a half a dozen to take with me on a...

Headed out last week on a typical deep structure winter bass trip. When we got a nice surprise from a huge bird school in the distance. Have to say it was a nice change throwing the surface iron in 56 degree water in January! So much volume and a great grade of fish, we had them boiling around...

Near new condition. It was taken on one trip to Guadalupe in 2018 but never fished. It had a reel mounted on it for that trip but not fished. This is a unique rod that is relatively hard to find these days. It is a corktape rod. It could be used for throwing large surface iron as well as...

Had an opportunity to jump on my buddy's battlewagon mid-week and join 200 of my closest friends at the worst-kept secret in Southern California. Summertime, and the fishin's easy. It took all of 5 minutes to hookup on the Nomad and make sure the fish were still there (spoiler alert: they...

i notice the better water clarity in Del Mar/Torrey pines area. Last week in LJ we barely scraped up a few calicos and nothing else. Any reports of decent bass fishing off of Del Mar area?

Second time this year I put a date on the calendar to go tuna fishing, and the tuna go lockjaw the day or two before, only to resume biting a couple days later. Like clockwork, every time. C'est la vie, let's go to the islands and have some fun. Got to South Island, dropped Rapalas back, and got...

My reel seat on my 900 m has failed and the graphite is crushed in (deckhand style). Does calstar still make/ replace rods with warranty? I tried calling the number but there is no voicemail setup. Any advice on what to do with the jig stick? It is still functional but that part of the graphite...

Excellent condition Went out on one boat ride Retail for $119 + tax Excellent for for throwing irons Pair with a tranx or Lexa for an awesome casting combo SOLD Text 818-590-8355

Curious if someone has a comparison on how the different models swim. Learned about these in here but looking for more details on swimming characteristics of the different models: 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, the 2.2 and the 3.3. Which one has the wider and which has the tighter kick? They look good and I...

Neophyte surface iron guy and did not find a perfect thread for my question(s). Looking to pick up a Tesoro for local to baja surface iron. Question one: Feeling the 10 is better than the 12 for this purpose. Are people using the 12 rather than the 10? Question two: Thinking to go with...

Does anyone use their Talica 12 or 16 two speed for throwing surface irons? I feel like the whole "lever drags dont cast well" is another one of those outdated sport boat statements based on technology that isnt use anymore. I've been throwing a flat fall with mine lately, but using a shorter...

Owned my Tranx 500 since 2014. Im noticing that I'm just not getting the casting distance that I likely should be on this reel. For example, My Daiwa Lexa 400, which is the same age and has caught probably 2x the fish can throw a surface iron probably 1.5x as far than my Tranx on the same rod...

A friend of mine has a few Conlon blanks he wants to give to me. I am thinking about wrapping them and making jigsticks out of them... I can't find any info on them. If anybody has knowledge on the blanks I would love to hear it :)?

Interested in buying my first 9ft+ jig stick. Not looking to spend a ton of money. Maybe calstar or seeker? Thanks!

I just ordered a Shimano torium 20 and I am looking for a good all around rod. I am 15 so I don’t have a lot of money to spend. Any suggestions would be helpful thanks!

I've got two Roddy jig sticks- both from unwrapped blanks that had never seen the light of day until a three years ago: fishing 40# & 50#. But I think I favor the Trulines more because of versatility. I have Truline jig sticks to fish 25#, 30#, 40#, 50# and 60# surface iron. Don't think Roddy...

Just came up on six Salas christy2 irons. Any suggestions on how to fish them, they seem like a weird in betweener. Very slow action, and 4oz. I’m thinking maybe a good calico jig. Thoughts

Hey guys I know the casting distance depends on a lot of variables so let me clear some of those up. I'll be using a Daiwa BG 5000 (I like this size because it holds 310yards of 65lb and weights 22.6 oucnes) using 65 lb original power pro braid with a short leader "not" having the know go...

HAs anyone had any luck in LJ lately? Thinking about cruising over there tomorrow morning for any kind of yellow or calico bite.

My wife's grandfather was a fisherman, and my good friend. He told me on his deathbed that he wanted myself and my brother in law to split his gear. My brother in law isn't so much into the fishing like i am, so after 8 years, my wife's grandmother was finally ready to let some of these things...

We did some Major damage on the Wahoo during a pick bite using the JRI Surface Irons fishing down at the ridge recently on the Shogun. Myself, Bill Hindorff (aka Baller), and Al Yee were fishing the long Rod for two days in the zone with my favorite JRI 4’s in Mint/gold/white, Mint/white, and...

went out to Anacapa yesterday for some yellowtail and rockfish, also wanted to check my new transducer location mount and see if it was working better than previous mount. Well my buddy and I scored 5 yellows on the iron and some rockfish. Also my ducer was working way better than my previous...

I'm looking to buy or put together the following combos, primarily for yellowtail and small tuna fishing. #1 - yoyo jig setup reel with high retrieve rate, narrow a plus, 2-speed a plus but not required rod around 7 ft would probably run something around 65 braid / 50 mono #2 - surface iron...

Does anyone have experience casting surface irons or poppers with a Cabo 100 (Quantum Cabo CSP100PTsE)? I am looking to buy a spinning reel that I can cast surface irons with for yellowtail, yellowfin, dorado, etc. it would be nice if it would also work to cast large poppers if the blue fin...

Me and my Bro Bill put them to the test at Castaic Lake, California. The purpose of this test was to see how the two makers of surface Iron Jigsticks compare when it comes down to distance and ease of casting. Everybody knows of the old faithfull Calstar sticks and more recently the increasing...

Painted a few of my jigs just to keep busy. I think I have an airbrush somewhere in the garage but for these I used a brush. if you notice I also opened up some of the holes to hopefully get them to swim better. Do you guys have any tricks to get your jigs to swim better?
