M4TT Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hey guys, I'm in the market for a gan craft jointed claw and wanted to know your thoughts on preferred size and pattern. I'm leaning toward a 230 but I've seen most people are throwing 178s and wanted to know your thoughts before i picked one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Ramen Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 The 178 has been the work horse among the jointed claws, but they all get bit. greenhornet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggfeast Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I personally like the 230 best, but the 178 is probably the most popular size. If you want a 230, let me know. I got a quite a few BNIB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoozie1 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I have a 230 in the slow sink version but it sinks a little too fast for my liking and I feel like I have to reel too fast to keep it shallow enough for the waters I'm fishing. Would you guys recommend getting a floater and adding some weight to get my desired ROF? Wasn't sure if too much weight might just kill the floater's action. Thanks for any tips guys.

Mossypumpkin Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 My favorite gancraft is a Deps 250 I did sell my only jc cuz it wasn't doing it for me. That being said, it did catch some fish for me. I had the 230s and it was a good bait. If you're worried about it being big, don't. They're a slim profile bait.

mnbassman23 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 178 is a good bait and gets bit. the 230 is a nice bait as well I just don't fish it as often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
