Cranka Crab Fishing Lure 50mm 5.9g

Built to pin big estuary bream in current with a fast-sinking, lifelike crab that gets down, stays down and draws confident eats.

Designed for anglers who fish deeper water, faster flows and windy conditions, the Cranka Crab 5.9g is the heavy model that shines where the light version stalls. It’s deadly on bream and regularly finds quality flathead, estuary perch and golden trevally around bridge pylons, rock walls, drop-offs and channel edges.

This tournament-proven lure blends ultra-real soft legs with floating foam claws mounted to the trebles. On the pause, the claws rise in a defensive stance that looks real and keeps hooks lifted for fewer snags and better hook-ups. A heavier tungsten base plate delivers a quicker, controlled fall so you can punch long casts, cut through wind and reach bottom-holding fish faster. The one-piece through-wire frame and Decoy Y-S25 trebles provide dependable strength when the fight heads back to structure.

Hop it, shake it or dead-stick it near pressure points and current seams. If you need to beat tide and depth without sacrificing finesse, this is the crab you tie on. Perfect your presentation and hook your next trophy fish with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose the 5.9g over the 3.9g?
Use the heavy model for depth, wind or fast tide. It cuts through current, reaches bottom quickly and stays in the zone longer.

What’s the best retrieve in current?
Cast up-current of structure, let it sink on semi-slack line, then add small shakes and pauses as it drifts. Most bites come on the pause or first lift.

Will it still avoid snags around rock and racks?
Yes. The floating claw/treble design keeps hooks lifted, improving snag resistance compared to conventional hardbodies. Fish it thoughtfully near pressure points.

What tackle suits this lure?
A light estuary rod (2–4kg), 1000–2500 spin reel, PE 0.6–0.8 braid and 4–8lb fluoro leader offers casting distance, sensitivity and secure hook-sets.
