Description

The "Jointed Claw Ratchet 184" is a high-wave, S-shaped big bait equipped with a [ROM damper] inherited from the "Shift 184" and a newly developed big tail [ROM tail]. It is a next-generation jointed claw that specializes not only in slow S-shaped swimming and digi-winding action, but also in high-appeal "S-shaped ripping action" that violently shakes the body in ultra-high-speed retrieves and hard jerks. 7" 2.5oz. The Rom Damper is located between the second and third segments of the bait. It is easily removable by removing two small phillips head screws. With the damper removed you can get an even more traditional swimbait action, with the damper in place it acts more like a traditional two piece glide but still allows you to burn it fast in either mode. NOTE: Each bait is hand painted in the order they are received. I make every effort to ship the baits within 3 days of receiving the order, however during the busy season it can take up to 5 to 8 business days to ship the baits. In most cases they do ship within 3 days, I never want to make anyone wait but I do need to maintain quality so it can take time sometimes. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or need something in a hurry.

Field Notes

This is a big jointed hard bait designed for slow S-shaped swimming, fast burning retrieves, and hard jerks. Use it when you want a high-appeal baitfish profile that can be worked steadily or ripped to trigger reaction strikes.

Pros

  • Versatile action with both swimbait-like and glide-like movement
  • Can be burned fast or fished slowly
  • Large profile for drawing aggressive strikes

Cons

  • Large bait may require heavier tackle
  • Likely overkill in very small-water or finesse situations
