How To Fish a Swimbait: ARMAJOINT 190SS FLASH BOOST | Shimano Pro Tips

Shimano Pro @JP DeRose Outdoors discusses the all-new Shimano ARMAJOINT 190SS FLASH BOOST swimbait and the benefits of its industry-leading BOOST CONCEPT technology, and what makes it so effective in different fishing situations. Like its predecessor, the Shimano ARMAJOINT 190SS FLASH BOOST is the slow-sinking model that allows anglers to target fish in deeper waters or suspended fish on trees or ledges. The ARMAJOINT 190SS features ARMABOOST technology, which enables anglers to cast further and more accurately and provides a more natural swimming action. The ARMAJOINT 190SS also features FLASH BOOST and SCALE BOOST technologies for added attraction and lifelike appeal.

Many anglers ask our Shimano Pros how to fish a swimbait. JP DeRose simplifies the reasoning that a swimbait is just like any other lure — an angler needs to fish several different cadences and techniques to determine how the fish will react. Some days, the fish will want you to bomb that swimbait out there just because they want it to be burned fast and away from the boat. On other days, bass will want you to have a little slower presentation or with a snap or a couple of twitches of the rod and a longer pause. So, instead of fishing a swimbait like the ARMAJOINT 190SS the same way every time, you should switch up your technique as you fish for your next trophy bass.
