About this piece
The Daiwa Teardrop Spin 16g is a compact blade jig designed by Rintaro Iwasaki (rintako) for the versatile middle game—a style targeting sea bream, rockfish, flatfish, and other species from shore with gear slightly heavier than light tackle. Its teardrop shape shifts the center of gravity rearward for stable, long-distance casts.
Key features
- Rear-weighted teardrop body for stable flight and distance
- Small blade attached behind the treble hook for flash and vibration on the retrieve
- Ultra-slow fall action with the blade spinning steadily during descent
- Front assist hook with tinsel dressing for surprise pelagic strikes
- Rear treble hook for reliable hookups on a wide range of species
Best for
- Middle game fishing from shore
- Targeting sea bream, rockfish, flatfish, and similar species
- Slow-rolled or steady-retrieve presentations with blade action
- Situations where a compact, castable jig is needed over lighter gear
