Fishing Techniques
- Retrieve Method: Cranka Crabs are designed for slow, subtle retrieves. Crabs do not swim up and down the water column; instead, they move laterally or remain stationary. Use small twitches to mimic this natural movement. fishingworld.com.au
- Fishing Locations: Ideal for estuaries, near structures like rocks, pylons, and drop-offs, where crabs are commonly found.
- Best Practices: Allow the lure to sink to the bottom, then employ a slow retrieve with occasional pauses to simulate a crab's natural behavior.
