Gan Craft Jointed Claw 178 – A Legend Among Lures with "S" Action

The Gan Craft Jointed Claw 178 is an original lure that introduced revolutionary "S" swimming action. Unlike traditional lures with lips that produce wobbling or rolling movements, the Jointed Claw moves in a smooth "S"-shaped path. This motion not only naturally mimics prey but also strongly stimulates the predatory instincts of fish, attracting them from great distances and provoking repeated strikes.

The Gan Craft Jointed Claw 178 is the foundational model of the iconic Jointed Claw swimbait series, renowned worldwide. It is available in Slow Sinking (SS) and Floating (F) versions, making it versatile for fishing at various depths. With a steady retrieve, it creates an elegant "S" curve, while slower retrieves with gentle twitches offer a more natural, irregular motion. The slow-sinking version is ideal for mimicking prey foraging near the bottom.

This lure exemplifies Japanese quality and precision craftsmanship. It is made from premium materials, equipped with Owner Stinger hooks, a replaceable rubber tail, 3D eyes, and a detailed scale design. It is suitable for targeting a wide range of freshwater predators and some saltwater species, such as seabass.
