About this piece
The Daiwa Teardro Spin 16g is a compact blade jig designed by Rintaro Iwasaki for the "middle game" concept — targeting a wide range of species from shore with gear slightly heavier than light game. Its teardrop shape shifts weight rearward for stable, long casts.
Key features
- Teardrop shape with rear-center gravity for stable casting distance
- Small blade attached behind the treble hook for flash and vibration on a straight retrieve
- Slow-fluttering fall action with blade rotation improves strike triggering
- Front assist hook with tinsel dressing handles unexpected pelagic fish
- Rear treble hook increases hook-up probability across species
Best for
- Middle-game fishing from shore targeting sea bream, rockfish, flatfish, and other bottom-oriented species
- Slow to moderate retrieve presentations over shallow to mid-depth structure
- Situations where flash and vibration attract a broad range of predatory fish
