Absolutely! haha
A yo yo iron, such as a Salas 6x, usually weighs twice as much as a surface iron. They tend to be shorter, fatter, and heavier. Surface irons tend to be longer, and much more light weight, i.e Tady 45. Due to this, a "jig stick" will usually be 8'-10' long. A yo yo set up us usually a 6'- 8' heavy action rod, fished with 40#line.
Both applications tend to be fished with mono due to the fact that it will stretch and absorb the shock of the strike.


Hopefully these pics will give you a better idea....
