About this piece
The Issei Kaitaro Sakana Sakana Spin is a tail-spin jig designed to imitate the Japanese anchovy (katakuchi iwashi). Its wide, low-center-of-gravity body delivers exceptional casting distance while reducing hook tangles, making it an ideal first-cast choice in saltwater environments. The custom narrow willow-leaf blade, known as the Katakuchi Blade, creates a tight flash profile that triggers strikes from a variety of gamefish.
