Description

What is the main task of this lure? CrankBoy is designed to be extremely realistic, with slim and highly frequent action, to wake the hunting instinct in predator and provoke him to attack. Not too large, not too small – JUST RIGHT! One of the most time-tested baits in Zorba’s Family. The bill is thin enough to have lots of great, hunting action, but strong enough (polycarbonate) that it doesn’t break or wear down after grinding it on rocks or slamming it into docks. Great for pike, zander, perch, trout and bass! /*! elementor – v3.14.0 – 18-06-2023 */ .elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px} Swim video Other colors

Field Notes

This is a realistic hardbait designed to imitate a baitfish with a slim profile and frequent action. It’s best worked with steady retrieves and pauses around rocks, docks, and other cover where predator fish are hunting. The thin bill suggests it can be cranked through shallow to moderate water while still deflecting well off structure.

Pros

  • Very realistic baitfish profile
  • Strong polycarbonate bill for durability
  • Good for grinding off rocks and docks

Cons

  • No exact depth or weight listed
  • Likely requires careful tuning/retrieval to get the best action
