: Irons and saltwater lures for dummies.

Well since the Kitty can reach moderate offshore I'd like to build a kit but know nothing of irons and yellowtail/small tuna fishing stuff.

Where would I even start?

Some great tips on Youtube on how to pick better swimmers. Offset hips, offset holes, check the welds on the rings. Or go see Danny Wade at HM Landing and ask him to pick a few good ones.

My bad swimmers still catch more than most people using good swimmers.

Picked some up at a shop but they were too busy to help me pick a bunch.  >:( Will try some perhaps Sunday depending the swells.
