Iron for Yellowtail, whats it look like?
 

Dpnt mean to be ignorant but yesterday had a very hard time making bait, and then getting any fish to look at that bait. I read folks here talking about throwing iron and have a few jigs myself but wondered what you guys think is the best iron for attracting yellowtail.

Other than one massive boil that lasted about a minute and a half I saw very little activity yesterday at LJ

If you do respond and have a pic or a link to what you are recommending thanks in advance

mint is good, mac patterns, and the bird shit work good.

Sardine is often called Bird Sh*t or booger. It got green smeared on it. 99/100 times how it swims is more important than the color.

:jig:

Thanks Guys,
turns out I have it. everything you described. Just need to learn how to use it now

I use a Shimano Baitrunner 4500 B Spinning Reel on a 7 ft. rod to throw surface iron. It will never birds nest, and casts almost as far anything else.
-Its just plain easy.

The real advantage comes when a boil pops up and you only get 1 shot to fire it off. Point and shoot accurate, and No Birds Nest.

the dorado color works good 7x iron i caught 4 yellows on sat. aboard the san diego. Each over 25 pounds:jig::yt:

cosign 100% Mint is the money maker, Bird shit is great to, and i dont know why either lol

Hung a yellow today on the min tady 112 candybar.

Other favorites include the tady 45 and salas 7x.

7X love it!!

LONG LIVE THE ULUA!!

7x and Baby 5x in Scrambled Egg. Oh yes.....

Seabass, Calicos and Barracuda like the Tady 45

ditto.......and to make up for the baitrunners smaller spool, I use 50lb spectra.....you can get an extra 100 ft. of line over the larger diameter mono.

Note: A 7' spinning rod with a spectra mono combo is the personal preference of a select few people who prefer simplicity to capability.
