Deadly Surface Iron Action

The Baby 5X excels with the classic yo-yo retrieve that West Coast anglers have relied on for generations. Cast the iron out, let it sink briefly, then retrieve with a rhythmic rod-pumping action that creates an erratic swimming motion. The jig darts and flashes as it moves through the water column, mimicking a fleeing baitfish and triggering reaction strikes from tuna, yellowtail, dorado, and other pelagics. The chrome finish creates maximum flash that attracts fish from a distance, while the proven shape and weight distribution ensure the jig swims perfectly on every retrieve.

Versatile Applications

Whether you're fishing the kelp beds for yellowtail, working tuna boils offshore, targeting dorado around floating debris, casting to surface-feeding bonito and skipjack, or searching for roosterfish in Baja waters, the Baby 5X delivers consistent results. The size is perfect for matching smaller baitfish while still having enough weight for long casts to distant boils and feeding frenzies. The durable construction handles the punishment of hard-fighting pelagics day after day.
