Shimano Armajoint 190SF Swimbait - St Purple

By A Mystery Man Writer

Shimano designed the ARMAJOINT 190SF to solve the challenges of casting a big jointed swimbait in search of trophy fish. Lure engineers leverage Shimano's proprietary ARMA BOOST technology to significantly increase casting distance and accuracy by reducing unnecessary air resistance and the chances of the lure spinning during flight. As the angler casts the lure, ARMA BOOST technology facilitates the lure to disconnect from an internal magnet and forces the body to fold into its compact shape.

The new ARMABOOST mechanism solves the problems of big baits such as not being able to fly long and spinning in flight. The body folds down to increase flying distance by 35% compared to models without ARMABOOST. After landing on the water, the special plate connecting the bodies is semi-fixed by a magnet, producing a smooth swimming action. The lure swims well regardless of retrieve speed, and has excellent expressiveness with a swiveling action that minimizes the distance traveled.
