About this piece
The Issei Umitaro Spatula 2 inch is a straight worm featuring a micro paddle tail that creates a realistic baitfish profile. Ribs along its slender body generate water displacement, while the supple material responds to subtle rod movements for versatile action—from sharp bursts to natural glides. The asymmetrical paddle tail produces an erratic beat that triggers strikes from a variety of saltwater gamefish.
