The Gan Craft Jointed Claw 178 SW Custom Type S is a premium Japanese glide bait developed specifically for saltwater anglers targeting large predatory fish in estuaries, harbours, beaches, and coastal structure. Built around Gan Craft’s legendary “S-Glide” swimming action, the SW Custom Type S delivers an ultra-natural side-to-side movement that imitates wounded baitfish and triggers aggressive reaction strikes from trophy fish.
Designed with upgraded saltwater hardware and tuning, the SW Custom Type S is ideal for targeting mulloway, barramundi, mangrove jack, tailor, trevally, kingfish, cod, and other apex predators. Its slow-sinking profile allows anglers to work multiple depths with precise control, while twitches and rod sweeps cause the lure to break track and glide erratically like a fleeing baitfish.
The Jointed Claw 178 has become one of the most respected glide baits in Japan thanks to its ability to draw fish from long distances and provoke followers into committing. Whether retrieved steadily, paused, or worked with aggressive directional changes, the lure maintains its signature fluid S-motion that separates it from traditional swimbaits.
