MADNESS JAPAN BALAM Multi-Jointed Swimbait: a big, lifelike glide-style swimbait from Kyoto-based Madness Japan. A hard ABS body is split into multiple joints for a smooth, natural S-swimming action, and a soft silicone tail adds flutter and lift on every retrieve. These are genuine Madness Japan lures, made in Japan.
BALAM 200 (200mm, 2.2 oz class). Looking for the larger size? See our Madness Japan BALAM 245 listing. Stock note: the BALAM 300 (300mm) is out of stock while Madness Japan prepares a new production run, expected in spring 2027.
