The Shimano ArmaJoint 190SF Flash Boost Chrome is engineered to overcome the casting limitations of large jointed swimbaits, delivering exceptional distance and accuracy through Shimano’s ARMABOOST folding-body technology. During the cast, the lure disconnects from its internal magnet and collapses into a compact shape, drastically reducing drag and preventing unwanted mid-air rotation. Once it hits the water, the body reengages and swims naturally with a smooth S-pattern, adjustable from slow to fast retrieves. A slow-floating rise on the pause allows anglers to trigger reaction bites from following fish. Enhanced with Shimano’s FLASH BOOST foiled spring system, the ArmaJoint emits continuous flash like an injured baitfish, even when paused, making it a tournament-level big-bait option.
