Cranka Crab Fishing Lure 50mm 3.9g

Built to fool wary Aussie bream with a hyper-real crab profile and floating claws that draw confident eats when the bite is tough.

Purpose-built for serious estuary anglers, the Cranka Crab 3.9g is a finesse fishing lure designed to convert timid fish in pressured water. It excels on bream and regularly tags by-catch like flathead, estuary perch and golden trevally across rock walls, oyster racks, bridges and flats.

A decade in development, this award-winning design pairs realistic soft legs with floating foam claws mounted to the trebles. The claws rise in a defensive pose to animate subtly on the pause, lift the hooks clear of snags, and position them perfectly for solid hook-ups. A tungsten base plate sets the lure’s centre of gravity for a controlled, natural sink, while the one-piece through-wire keeps you connected when a big fish eats tight to structure.

Work it with short shakes, gentle hops or a dead-stick pause to mimic a crab holding ground. Available now in proven natural colours, it’s a confidence lure that turns lookers into biters. Perfect your presentation and hook your next trophy fish with certainty.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I fish the Cranka Crab for bream?
Use short rod shakes with slack line to let the claws flutter, then pause. Most bites come on the dead-stick as it sinks slowly or sits on the bottom near structure.

What tackle suits this lure?
A light estuary rod (1–3kg or 2–4kg), 1000–2500 size spin reel, PE 0.4–0.8 braid and 3–6lb fluoro leader gives casting finesse, bite detection and clean hook-sets.

Will it snag on oyster racks and rock?
It’s far more snag-resistant than typical hardbodies. The floating claw/treble design keeps hooks lifted. Still fish it thoughtfully around current and pressure points.

When would I choose the heavier 5.9g version?
Pick the heavy model for deeper water or fast current. For shallow flats and controlled falls around edges, the 3.9g light model is ideal.
