Armed with heavy-duty hardware and a hyper-realistic profile, the Crusty Crab is the only choice for anglers looking to "Land the Hit and Win the Fight" in the toughest terrain. 2 per pack!

A crab lure is useless if it lands upside down. The Crusty Crab is perfectly balanced and pre-weighted to ensure it lands on its belly every single time it hits the water. This creates a natural, life-like descent and vibrating "vibe" action on the drop that triggers aggressive reaction strikes from predators patrolling the pylons or rocks.

Don't let the realistic shell fool you, this crab is built for a scrap. Moulded from our ultra-durable 10X Tough TPE material, the Crusty Crab is purpose-built to survive the toothy assaults of Australia’s toughest predators without losing its realistic profile. It’s designed to handle the heavy cover and brutal structure where trophy fish hide, ensuring your gear stays intact strike after strike.

The magic happens on the drop. We’ve engineered this lure with soft, flickering legs that produce a natural vibrating action as it sinks. This subtle movement, combined with a hyper-realistic profile, convinces even the wariest fish to commit to the hit.
These are quality little imitation crabs, have yet to use in the situation I’d bought them for, but extremely pleased with quality and appearance. Movement of the claws and legs give appearance of life.
Ordered from uk and was opening package 8 only days later!
Great to hear! Remember to keep them stored in TPE safe storage and don't mix with PVC lures to avoid a chemical reaction. Easiest way is to keep them in their original packaging. Have fun out there!
I waited until I fished with the baits to do a review. Couldn’t be happier. My brother and I used them for the first time today and he caught his first sheepshead. I’m impressed with the durability and presentation. Jig design seems to work great for dragging on the bottom. We were drifting across oyster beds and never got snagged. I have plans on using different rigs and will be buying more when I need them. Also I’ll mention the one he caught the fish with didn’t have a mark on it after.
Makes catching reds on the flats of Texas easy! No problem in weeds and sets down easy in the water not spooking feeding fish .. will be getting more, thanks guys, keep up the good work!
Lures look awesome,just hoping the fish think so too
Awesome product, works way better than any other similar lures I have tried. Certainly a must have for any keen fisher!!

Only artificial bait on the market the truly represents a fiddler crab.
Love the looks of these little crabs! Can't wait to get them in the water! Shipping was ultra fast, even for me living in the states!
Really life like and destroy those Mulloway!!
These are my go to baits for sightfishing fish on the flats and in muddy Waters. The golden claw looks exactly like a mud crab and fish can’t resist them.
Cool little crabs! Legs move nicely, looking forward to catching plenty on them! Wish we could get different hook sizes in them though
Fantastic looking product will let you know after using it
Got it n love it.
I had my doubts the Crusty Crab would catch a flathead but managed two in a short time so definitely a winner.
I cannot wait to try these baits and will write an after trip review. First thoughts though: amazing quality and craftsmanship!!
These look very alive and life like had not a chance to fish them yet, when I do I will try to post another review.
I'm amazed at how real it looks while in the water .
Crab very life like but hook could be larger
Well made and a great copy of a real live crab, should convince a fish to take this bait. The product is life like and has a fantastic action in the water. The colours are also fantastic.
I expect this lure to perform/get results at least as well as the"cranka", at half the price! Chasebaits Australia are great to deal with.

This lure is amazing for the yellowfin bream on the pause. I love the way its legs wriggle on the sink and the hook is super strong. It might even be a better crab imitation than CRANKA's!
Caught my PB Bream 1.455 kg on one last week, first time using them. Good size and colour, only lasted about three seconds before being taken. Definitely will be using them in the Hobie comps in future.
