Chasebaits - Crusty Crab (50mm)
About this lure
The CRUSTY CRAB has been modelled on the common Shore Crab. It is perfectly balanced to always flip onto its belly when cast. With rapid vibration legs, TPE material and a super strong fine gauge hook, the CRUSTY CRAB is tough and ready for battle. Slow roll, jig or just leave it in the rod holder. Fish will think this crab is real and too tasty to refuse.

Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the Crusty Crab and let it sink naturally to the sub-surface zone (0-2 m).
Work it with a slow roll or gentle jigging action, allowing the vibration legs to create lifelike movement. The lure's self-righting design means it will flip onto its belly on the drop, mimicking a natural crab presentation.
You can also hold it steady in the strike zone and let the legs do the work-snapper and trevally will often take it on the pause.
Use light to medium spin gear to feel the subtle vibrations and detect takes.
