CRANKA CRAB TREBLE HOOK, MODEL 50MM LIGHT
The cranka crab lure is a unique, ‘world first' crab design built from more than 10 years of research, design and development.
The CRANKA Crab, Treble Hook Model 50mm LIGHT, weighs 3.9 grammes and combines hard and soft materials in one hybrid design.
This model measures 50mm across its soft legs and 18mm across its hard shell.
This lure WON the converted ‘Best New Hard Lure’ award at the Australian Fishing Tackle Association (AFTA) trade show.
Since its market release, the CRANKA Crab has earned many angling tournament wins, including a World Hobie Kayak Championship title.
It has also claimed an Australian Bream Tournament (ABT) Championship, many ABT Event wins, and countless other victories.
This award-winning lure was originally designed to target fish from the Acanthopagrus genus, commonly referred to as 'bream' within Australia.
Today, the cranka crab lure is a go-to option for anglers targeting Australian bream and many other species worldwide.
It has proven effective on bonefish, permit, sheepshead, redfish, drum, tripletail, bass, speckled trout, snook, trevally, whiting, snapper, two-bar seabream and flathead.
The unique advantage of this crab lure lies in its ‘patent pending' floating claw and treble hook design.
The claws are made from buoyant foam material, precision cut and handtied to premium treble hooks to form realistic crab claws.
In the water, the hooks float up above the body to mimic the natural claw-up stance of a defensive crab.
This raised design helps the lure crawl along the seabed in a snag-resistant manner while looking like a real crab.
Other standout features include tough, soft plastic legs; a tungsten base plate / belly weight; and a solid through-wire design.
These details help the lure land upright and stay durable over rubble, rocks and reefs.
It also features the highest quality, razor-sharp and strong Japanese treble hooks.
For anglers looking for a slow, natural crab sink rate, this cranka crab lure is an ideal choice.
The cranka crab is currently available in 11 amazingly realistic natural crab colours.
Anglers who know cranka designs will also appreciate how naturally the floating claws work across the bottom.
The realistic profile, including the cranka claws, is designed to present a convincing defensive crab action in the strike zone.
