Jointed Claw
The Jointed Claw is Gan Craft's best-known lure series. It is a two-piece lipless glide bait that swims an S-shaped path on a steady retrieve alone; its maker calls it the original S-swimming lure. jig.lt offers two sizes: the Jointed Claw 178 (178 mm, about 56 g) with a wide, slow S-shaped path and the smaller Jointed Claw 148 (148 mm, about 34–37 g) with a narrower and faster one. Both suit pike.
