nbro2 13 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hi I was thinking of buying a cranka crab. Just wondering if anybody out there use's them? and which colour selection works best? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keenfisho 1,416 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 If you can get them, buy them! Awesome but very expensive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tinker 1,645 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Brown Crab, and Olive Crab are the ducks guts on SA bream. You will cry golden tears every time you lose one but. Harder to get than a date with Miranda Kerr, who is almost as good as Cranka Crabs, just don't stick the tongue in on the first date. Sand Crab is popular interstate too.

ASD14 197 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 you can get them from this joint https://www.fishin.com.au/ but as others said there like $21 each, so its a fair kick in the teeth lol. Brankim 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tinker 1,645 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Get into them while stocks last, they dont last long. Second hand CCs were going for 40-50 bucks on ebay and some fishing forums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tinker 1,645 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Does anybody know any stores in the Adelaide metro area with Cranka Crabs? If so, please PM me ASAP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ludaqryz 290 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I heard from staff at port rd bcf today a bloke caught a mullly at West Lakes with a crab lure and that they were on the shelf there. I was in a bit of a hurry and did not see which kind of crab lure it was but if you give them a ring you could find out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 480 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Not trying to throw the thread off track,but anyone tried the savage gear crabs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kuerschie 2,309 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 The SavageGear crabs are the ones sold by BCF. They're different to the Crankas in that the hook is in the middle with a jighead and they're made using PVC materials. They're not bad lures for bream. Cranka ones have trebles on each claw and are worth every cent, if you can get your hands on one. Tinker and Cal 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tinker 1,645 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Picked up 3 today with another 5 on order. From experience they were buggers sometimes to cast long distances coz the hooks kept fouling up with the leader. Apparently this issue has been rectified. Excellent for teabagging over the edge of rockwalls and pontoons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ASD14 197 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 wonder if these would work at a snapper ground off a boat, put it in the rod holder and let the waves work the crab... hmmmm seagypsy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bladesg 41 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 You guys obviously don't look real hard. These are available and have been for at least 4 weeks at a very well known local tackle shop keenfisho 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bladesg 41 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Not sure if you're being serious.... Try the tackle shop on grand junction road, the one that carries a lot of high end gear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ludaqryz 290 Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I got two from a shop in South Australia Had a bit of a dingle though not really attracting much with them yet. Has anyone had any luck with the crab? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bladesg 41 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Trust me they work! Tinker 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tinker 1,645 Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Just what truly is the worlds best fishing rod? At least I can truly say, it ain't that rod.... Bladesg 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asus1o1 1 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Try spot on findon. I saw a few there last week, but as I dont fish for bream, they were not of much interest to me. Tinker 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
