Gan Craft Jointed Claw 178 Floating #02 Nakahira Ayu

Gan Craft Jointed Claw 178 is an iconic swimbait that defined the concept of “S-action.” Unlike traditional lipped hard baits, it swims in a smooth S-shaped path, perfectly imitating a calmly cruising or injured baitfish. This highly natural movement has an extremely strong effect on predators and can trigger strikes from large, experienced fish that often ignore conventional lures.

Jointed Claw 178 is the core model of Gan Craft’s legendary swimbait lineup and ranks among the most effective lures for pike, zander, large perch, and in some waters even seabass. On a steady retrieve it holds a stable S-curve, while slowing down or adding subtle twitches makes the action even more lifelike. Thanks to its precise construction, detailed body, replaceable soft tail, and high-quality treble hooks, the Jointed Claw 178 is a lure that has long proven its legendary reputation.
