Features:

  • The innovative new Shimano Armajoint 190SF is a big 7.25 inch, slow-floating, hard body swimbait with Arma Boost technology to improve casting distance.
  • Equipped with magnetic Arma Boost technology that allows the body to fold into a more aerodynamic shape while in flight to reduce resistance and get that extra distance.
  • When the Armajoint hits the water, the magnets restore the swimbait into its hunting shape which features a natural smooth swimming action and a consistent S pattern that predators love. It dives and works in the top 0 to 1 foot depths.
  • The Armajoint is also equipped with Shimano's Flashboost technology, which is an internal, spring-mounted foil that moves and flashes realistically like a the natural gill movement of a baitfish. Soft plastic tail also adds to the natural allure.
  • The Shimano Armajoint 190SF is 7.25 inches long (190mm), weighs in at 1 7/8 oz (53g) and comes in 5 different colors. Also comes with a spare soft tail. Check them out!

When you slowly retrieve the big 7.25 inch Shimano Armajoint 190SF, you'll get a natural S pattern as it works its way about 1 foot deep, and slow rises on the pause. The Flashboost technology will cause a natural baitfish flicker and the soft tail bends and flows naturally, too. Even the extra sharp hooks are recessed so they are closer to the body and pop out when a fish hits them. When you really crank on the Armajoint, it can dive as deep as 3 feet and then slow work in the S pattern. The key feature is the Arma Boost magentic system that allows the Armajoint to fold into an aerodynamic shape to maximize casting distance and rolling in midair that cause similar swimbaits to get all tangled up in flight. This gives your swimbait more time fishing in a bigger strike zone, and less time on the boat being untangled.

Comes in 5 different colors and a spare soft tail is included.

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. Once the lure hits the water, the lure's body reengages with the magnet to create a smooth and natural swimming action. The Shimano Armajoint 190SF is a versatile lure that can be retrieved fast or slow, enabling anglers to vary their retrieve depending on the situation. The Armajoint will normally swim in an S-pattern, but the bait will not flare out when stopped due to the fold in its body. Anglers can slow down the receive and pause the Armajoint 190SF to capitalize on the lure's natural slow-rising action. Armajoint also features Shimano's proprietary Flash Boost technology that constantly emits a fish-attracting flash during the retrieve - even on the pause - by suspending reflective foil on micro springs to mimic the flashing behavior of an injured baitfish. Designed with purpose by leveraging innovation and technology, the Armajoint 190SF improves angler performance while drawing strikes from tournament-winning bass.

Good quality, long cast

Great swimbait especially if you want to bomb the cast and cover water. Clear water applications are best. When retrieving with inputs make sure you pause after two rotations and let the flash boost do its things.

Armajoint Swimbait

Order came a day early and was exactly what I ordered. I am a big fan of this armajoint and decided to go with the trout color this time. Very durable and and great motion in the water.

Armor Swimbait

The lure swims with a slight mechanical bent to it. It's not as fluid as I would like. That's b/c it is not a true 3 piece like the Dowz Swimmer. It does ride very high in the water column much like a Sneaky Pete. The cool thing is it can do 180 on the stop.

25lb Bag of Bass first time

They say Mid to Late fall is epic for glide/swimbaits... so I have gotten the S Gizzard color a try. Nailed 15 fish first time using this! Top 5 bass had to be close to 25 lbs total! I even caught a double bass on my first catch!

One thing about the tail was that it came off easily from a tail biter. Happened pretty early on the trip. Glad there was a spare including in the box and I was able to install it back on and that still lasting as it's pretty durable soft PVC material. Hope to see replacement tails to be stocked soon as without the tail, it doesn't move as well. Specifically the nice S wave motion while slow rolling.
