Catch Big Fish Right Away With The CRANKA CRAB! (How To Use This Amazing Lure) 

:)

Andy u bully I’m getting the brown one all the olive and spotted are sold out

For sure!

Was a bit spooky, wasn't it! :)

Hi Michael and thanks for your feedback. You are absolutely correct: the fish we call bream ARE related to your sheepshead and also to your porgy. They all belong to the family Sparidae. I've seen photos of some great sheepshead taken on Crank Crabs, so I hope you get a few! Let us know if you do.

Keep in mind whats starlo is fishing whats identical in the usa East Coast is scup / porgies , but it will be also be effective for sheepshead , as well , did you try it , how did it go ? , porgies / scup are also called ( sea bream ) as well ,same family..

Any crab lure will catch a fish at times if you fish it right, but the better and more expensive ones tend to catch fish even when they’re playing hard to get.

Yes, not quite sure why I picked that track!

They sure do.

Jetty, pier and marina bream can be REALLY tough, especially if the water is clear and they cop lots of pressure. You need to go as light and natural as you can: fine lines and leaders, lightly-weighted plastics, etc... Then you have to try to stop them if you get the hookup! It's a challenge. They will often (but not always) take a natural bait such as a peeled prawn tail or even some bread with a hook concealed inside: no sinker, fine leader. Good luck!

@@StarloGetsReel thanks bro

Hope you get a few!

Hi Mal. Yes, you don't need to do much with them. Fish 'em like a bait! Tight Lines!

Not the ideal lure to start your lure fishing career with. Dont fall for the internet lure syndrome.

@@markrigg6623 depends what you're chasing and where. On bream and flathead it could be the perfect lure to transition someone from bait to lures as it is fished more like a natural bait than many other lures. Although of course, they ain't cheap so you'd want to pick your spots. :)

@@StarloGetsReel Its what I regard as a presentation lure and I've found over all my years selling lures that "searching" lures - those that cast further, get to the strikezone quicker, cover water faster and emit strong vibration, give noobs a much easier time learning. It's for this same reason soft plastics for bream I find cause beginners difficulties and I've changed the course of hundreds of beginners fishing lives by getting them to use blades or crankbaits. Only just this Christmas eve I received a case of beer from a customer in gratitude. Thanks for the reply.

@@markrigg6623 Hi Mark, I flogged the crank bait this morning without success. Will keep trying . I have a new blade so will give that a go too. Regards

Thanks, Dave-oh! Glad you found it useful.

I've never tried, but I reckon it'd be worth a go!

@@StarloGetsReel thank you very much again

Good stuff!

I copied this from their website. Hope it helps: If your crab’s legs do happen to become bent from poor storage etc, they can usually be easily fixed by following these few simple steps set out below. Simply partly fill you kitchen sink with hot water direct from your hot tap. The water temperature on a standard hot tap is pre-set to 60 degrees Celsius. This temperature is the perfect temperature to be able to heat and reshape the legs on our crabs. Heating the leg material to this temperature allows the plastic to become workable again without actually melting and deforming. Simply submerge your crab in the water for 30-60 seconds, then simply pull your crab out hold the legs straight with your fingers and allow it to cool. Once cooled the legs of your crab will retain their new shape. If your crab has been left in direct sunlight and over exposed to heat they can also melt. If your crab’s legs melt from excessive heat then they cannot be fixed by using the above method. The legs on your crab may also melt from being exposed to other incompatible soft plastic materials or residues! Always store your crabs seperatley from other soft plastics as they can and will react with certain other plastics and residues and will melt. Again if this happens they cannot be fixed and will require changing. In any of the above cases your legs will need to be replaced by purchasing the correct size and colour replacement legs from the 'Replacement Parts' section on his website. The legs on our Treble Hook Model Crab's are glued into position during the manufacturing process so sometimes they can be difficult to remove. To remove the legs from a Treble Hook Model Crab the legs need to be pulled out of the crab in a rearwards direction... simply hold onto the body of the crab with one hand, hold the legs of the crab in the other hand and then apply rearwards pressure to the legs until you hear the glue seal break. Once the glue seal breaks the legs will slide straight out of the body of the crab. If the legs happen to break off instead of sliding out of the rear you will need to carefully use someting like a heavy duty darning needle or similar to dig the remainder of the leg material from the body of the crab. Once the legs have been fully removed you simply slide the new legs into the crab from the rear of the body. We highly recommend using a small drop of glue on the legs when changing them over. This simply stops the legs from being able to slide back out during use. We personally use and recommend Loctite 435 for this process however most superglues will do the job just fine.

Starlo Gets Reel thanks Steve

Thanks!

The 50 is my "go-to" size for bream.

Gills-N-Thrills most tackle stores supply them.

Rodney, yep, crabs make great bait and I used them a lot chasing bream when I was a young bloke.

Thanks Latch!

Thanks!

Be sure to let us know how you go!

Yep. Hurts to lose them alright!

Not very, unfortunately. :)

Starlo Gets Reel u are wrong the are snag resistant because the hooks are floating up and the hooks are what gets snagged so troops bush bangers if u see my comment don’t listen to stupid starlo he’s just trying to stop u buying a crab

Not e-scent-ial (see what I did there?), but it certainly doesn't hurt, Salah. Tight Lines.

It was a 1000 size Shimano, Caleb. I can't remember exactly which model. Sorry.

It looked like a older sustain model 👍🏼

Thanks, Peter!

Thanks!

Thanks Cody!

Yes, they sell out pretty fast!

The color doesnt matter.

Same!

Killer lure? 🤣

@@StarloGetsReel lol. On a serious note, any thoughts on using these for tuskfish aka bluebone? The only issue I see is that they would be too light to use with decent gear. Even my small 3-6kg set up casts lures 10-25g and the large crab is only 5.9g.

Sure can, but the hooks are small. Might pull out of quite a few on heavier gear.

Starlo Gets Reel thanks for the info

No trouble.

Anything that'll eat crabs, Blake, but it is primarily aimed at bream.

Should work!

Starlo Gets Reel how can i buy cranka crab ? Where is it? Which country?

@@1987-i7d They are Australian, but sell worldwide. Just go to: www.crankalures.com/

Starlo Gets Reel thank you very much

4lb and 6lb Shimano Ocea fluorocarbon.

3 pound Power Pro Braid and a 6 pound Shimano Ocea fluorocarbon leader, from memory.

Starlo Gets Reel thanks for the reply. Just realised how long ago this video was haha well done on remembering the set up!

All good, @@matthewrad628 !

Personally, I'd rather support the Aussie creator.
