About this piece
The Ecogear Balt 168 Iwashi is a 3.5-inch (88mm) soft plastic paddle-tail swimbait that combines a large tail with a flat side body for strong vibration and flash. It delivers a stable, natural high-pitch rolling action with a unique wave pattern to trigger strikes, while the flat side body creates intense flash to increase appeal. The tail provides moderate water push for easy depth control and ample casting distance, making it effective for rockfish and flatfish.
