Cranka
Cranka is an innovative Australian lure brand founded by Steven Steer in 2009, best known for creating the world's first hybrid hard/soft plastic crab lure — the legendary Cranka Crab. Winner of the "Best New Hard Lure" award at the Australian AFTA Tradeshow, Cranka has earned a devoted following among tournament anglers and recreational fishers alike for their uniquely realistic lure designs that consistently outperform the competition.
At Compleat Angler Nedlands, we stock the full Cranka range including the famous Cranka Crab in 50mm (light and heavy) and 65mm sizes, the 85mm single-hook model for bigger species, plus replacement claws and spare legs. We also carry the Cranka Crank in deep and shallow 35mm models, the Cranka Minnow 59mm in deep and shallow versions for estuary work, and the proven Cranka Vibe.
Cranka lures are an absolute must-have for Perth bream anglers. The Cranka Crab is devastating in the Swan River and along WA's estuaries — its buoyant claws wave with the slightest current, perfectly imitating a defensive crab. The Cranka Vibe and Minnow are also proven tournament winners on bream and flathead throughout Western Australia.
