Education and Entertainment. Our team is excited to bring to you a series focused on the technical aspects of how we target these fish across the country and breakdown the gear we utilize daily.

If you're hunting for that fish of a lifetime, then you’re going to need a lure of a lifetime - the Gan Craft Jointed Claw Magnum 230. This king-sized swimbait is packed full of Japanese detail and quality.

On your first cast with the Gan Craft Jointed Claw Magnum you’ll be able to see just how smoothly this hard-bodied swimbaits actually moves. With a steady retrieve you can watch it carve back-and-forth through the water with a subtle action that drives big bass crazy. Slow your winding speed down and mix in some twitching for a slightly panicked presentation. When fishing the slow-sinking version, you can kill the Gan Craft Jointed Claw Magnum 230, allowing it to slowly fall to the bottom, and then give it a quick pop to imitate an injured or dying fish.

The Gan Craft Jointed Claw Magnum also comes equipped with ultra-lifelike 3D eyes and an interchangeable rubber tail. Incredibly difficult to locate Stateside, the Gan Craft Jointed Claw Magnum 230 has gained an almost mythical reputation among tournament anglers. Available in a range of colors, the Gan Craft Jointed Claw Magnum 230 is now here, and it's safe to say some anglers will be less than thrilled now that the cat's out of the bag.

Gan Craft Length Weight Class
Jointed Claw Magnum 230 F 9" 4-oz Floating
Jointed Claw Magnum 230 SS 9" 4-oz Slow-Sinking

  • That’s rad man! Looking forward to Hooked on Riley’s giant bronze fish video.
  • @erylopez9235
    Awesome video. I've been fishing the 230 for a month now and I enjoyed this tackle breakdown. I'll have to keep mixing things up with it.

    I bought a 178 several years ago and loved it, about a week later I bought 2 second hand 230's from a seller in Japan.....theyre what I learned to fish glide baits on! I gained a ton of confidence back then just by constantly throwing the 230 and committing to it. In my opinion there's no better glide for herring lakes than a jointed claw!
  • Can’t find the color your using .. what color is that bait. Great video!!!

    It’s a national travesty that this channel only has 49.8k subscribers.

    Hi, is there a way to straighten those plastic tails on those 230s when it gets deformed or bent from storage? Thanks
  • I LOVE these tackle breakdowns! Im new to big swimbaits, and these help a ton. Im looking for a good reel that will do all kinds of big swimbaits, (preferably under $200) what would you chose? ive been looking at the daiwa tatula 200 and daiwa lexa wn 300, and the shimano tranx 200.
