Hopeless Breamer 2 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 What species apart from bream, snapper and flathead could be successfully targeted with one of these?What other species eat crabs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tinker 1,645 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: These Cranka Crabs might catch fish, but jeez they are buggers to use.Every time I tried casting one, the leader got tangled up in the hooks in the claws.Gave it back to my mate, chucked a hypothetical brown-eye, then tied on my trusty Z-Man SP.Ended up with more fish than him, and I won't be out of pocket $20+ if I lose a Cranka Crab.Might be easier to use dropped over the side of a boat though, we were fishing land-based, and distance to the structure was critical, very frustrating getting fouled up every cast.Jury is still out.
