Faking Out HUGE Sheepshead With Imitation Crabs

- This is the best artificial bait for catching big Sheephead. In this video I prove once again that the fake crab lure is irresistible to these fish that have strips like a Zebra. The technique for consistently catching BIG Sheepshead with the imitation crab is simple. Apply a dab of Procure fish attractant to the lure, specifically the "inshore" scent. Let the Cranka Crab sink to the bottom, then gently twitch and move the bait. When a fish bites set the hook immediately.

Since discovering this unique method, I've caught fish:
1. Near bridges
2. Under docks
3. Around jetties at the inlet
4. Next to pilings
The best bait for catching Sheepshead is some sort of fiddler, mangrove or mud crab. This lure imitates them all and is effective in faking out this species of fish on a consistent basis.

Crushing it on the Cranka Crab! 🦀
Thanks for watching. This lure has really surprised me. I have a tough time finding those Mangrove Crabs like you. This is a good alternative.
Dude those were tanks...awesome video brother...gotta love them convicts.
Thanks for watching. The smaller one fought harder and longer than the big momma.
Rad Reeling Fishing I went fishing this weekend for sheepshead as well and my friend kept pointing what your saying here. The big mommas just bend your rod, and dig down.
@@davidaguirre5409 Thanks for watching and commenting. How many did you catch?
Rad Reeling Fishing i got over 10, but only took 3 that were in the slot. In TX we can only take over 15”, so I got 16,17 & 18 momma .
@@davidaguirre5409 That sounds like so much fun. Soon they will be thick in the inlets here, can't wait!
Beast mode right there, beauty fish,nice vid as usual
BEAST!!! Jc is addicted to the fake crab!
This lure has really turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I love a new challenge for sure.
Crushing it!!! Love how you've had success with Cranka!
Thanks for watching. Me too!
One of the best videos yet. Continue the good work!!
Thanks, glad you liked it.
I really enjoy your videos. Keep it up!
*Thanx JC for sharing the Fishing and Serenity* ...gw
Dino sheepies!!! Water looked a bit stirred up but nothing that old town can’t handle 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for watching. It was rocking the boat a bit for sure...The following day there was a lot of BIG boat traffic in that inlet. The Predator handles the big wakes fine, but it's important for me to be vigilant in watching for those yachts.
Nice 👍 catch on those Sheepshead JC !! Thank you for another great video !!
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing JC, I would hope that in the next few days you receive a check from Cranka Crab. You're the ultimate spokesperson and obviously are producing some nice fish with their bait on video.
Thanks for watching Mark. I informed them that my videos were why all of the baits sold out on Amazon. They responded with exuberant verbal gratitude. They are also showing their appreciation by sending a selection of baits. They posted a video on their Facebook page as well. I'm very grateful they responded in these ways. Thanks for commenting.
JC, those were monsters. Great video, and great information.
Thanks, yeah that one was about twenty two inches long. That's huge.
Just got my Cranka 🦀.. I'll give you a heads up if I catch anything on it.. thanks for the info on these lures J.C. 👍💜✝️🎣🇺🇸If you can, find me on FishBrain 👍💜✝️🎣🇺🇸
The Lone Angler just be careful with it. Mine was practically destroyed by a puffer.
@@Ambrosius13 Thanks for the heads up 👍💜✝️🎣🇺🇸
Right on right on some stud Mac daddy’s! Great job and thank for sharing such an awesome video.
Thanks for watching and commenting. It was a fun fishing trip for sure.
Interesting that you have Black sea bass inshore in SW Florida. Over here on the east coast, we don't usually find them south of Cape Canaveral and even then, most are caught offshore.
Great lure!! Keep up the excelent content
Thanks for watching. I appreciated the encouragement.
I just love the looks of those fish..
My Cranka just came in the mail today :) My wife got the package, she said dang that thing is really cute.
I hope you have success! Thanks for watching.
Wifeys approval is always good news 😉 happy wife happy life ehhh :-)
Awesome sheepies on the cranka crab!
Right on. I love a new challenge.
Duuude that beast of a sheepshead!!! Holy buckets!! Gonna start saying that lmao
I gotta get one and run over to TampaBay and try it out. Awesome job brother 👊those were a couple of studs bet they had some great big fillets🎣🎣🎣
Yes, there are some good looking slabs in my refrigerator right now waiting to be cooked up for lunch. Thanks for watching.
Love the video jc. Think im going to have to get one of them. Im getting a little tired of buying shrimp!!
Thanks for watching. You'll have to wait for them to get restocked on Amazon, SOLD OUT!
Way to go! Just got my Cranka crabs. Me and my wife are going to try it out this weekend. Tight lines
Awesome, make sure you watch the video I released today on Cranka Crab tips.
cool video, cheers!
Nice job! What depth were you fishing? I used the cranka up north (ny) last year, had to glue on small sinker to get it to the depth I wanted.
I think I was in about ten feet deep. What glue did you use to add weight?
Holy freakin buckets 😂😂
Awesome video!!! What type of leaders do you use with the Cranka Crab?
25 lb mono
My Cranka Crabs arrived today 🥰
hi.. ive been a follower for a while love your posts.. i wonder if you can tell me what mic do you use for your go pro and witch go pro you use? do you have the link for the mic
Sennheiser waterproof mic for the gopro hero 4 silver. Both are not available "new" anymore. I've tried 2 of the refurbished Gopros from Amazon and sent them both back because they had issues. Used Sennheiser gopro microphones are available on Ebay. The Sennheiser waterproof mic was only made to work on the Gopro Hero 4.
Are you around Pinellas County? I wonder if that lure would work on permit. 🤔 Being on the water is a meditative experience. Sunrise, sunsets, the sound and feel of the water. Just have to take time to take it all in. Really enjoy the kayak vids. Keep up the Rad Reeling. 🤙🤙
Thanks for adding a comment of value, reeling on for sure.
Get it J.C.! Making me hungry.
Those Sheepshead taste delicious for sure. Thanks for watching.
Closing shot is what it is all about, feeling and loving the natural beauty of the water and a setting sun. You sure are getting your money's worth out of that cranka lure. Is it neutral bouyant or weighted? Also, carry some antibiotic ointment with you for those ouch! moments. Can't hurt.
Thanks for watching. The crab weighs almost 3/8 of an ounce. It's promoted as having a natural fall rate of a real crab. I have a first aid kit in the car; I should get a small one and keep it in the storage area of the pedal drive on the kayak. Thanks for commenting.
great video been watching for a couple weeks now I have picked up some good tips from them thanks I will be in fort myers for a couple weeks maybe I can catch something with what I have seen from you thanks
How did you make the replacement claw?
Got mine too..will have to wait till next week..sick with the Flu :(
Get well and keep me updated with your Sheepshead adventures.
Is this South Carolina?
Can you make a diy for making the claw? Thanks
Scissors and some foam. I just hook them on the hooks. The fish pull them off, but it's a good replacement because you can't buy the claws in the US.
nice fish JC👍 by the way those "studs" are females... theyre the big one ;-))
Yeah, I cleaned the biggest one today and she was full of row, ready to drop. Thanks for watching.
What size and weight is that cranka crab lure ?
It's almost 3/8 of an ounce.
Wish one day I could go fishing with you
You can email me at radreelingfishing gmail for information on setting up a charter to fish with me.
I need to get a 🦀 Try them out bro
Question- do you have to wash off the procure at the end of the day?
I haven't done that. Thanks for asking.
Rad Reeling Fishing awesome thanks I ordered two 👌🏽
Wow I am impressed. They are hard to catch with live crabs. The only problem is getting one. No one has them around Eastern NC
purchase them direct from Cranka Lures
That’s what I will have to do. I just got a load of Pompano Jigs and teasers.
@@RadReelingFishing I ordered three from Cranka crab. I will let you know how they do in NC
At 2:21, I did the same thing. When I first open the package, trying to tie a knot and the hooks got my thumb. It hurt like hell! I was bleeding and hands were shaking after that snag.
Those little hooks have pierced my thumb and my clothing several times. They are so sharp. I'm glad that hook was small. It buried past the barn in my finger.
@@RadReelingFishing Yeah, I rarely snag myself. I also ask someone to get a needle pliers cut it off or pull it opposite direction. I just slowly pull away from the puncture wound. This stuff is dangerous! No wonder it isn't patent yet.
What was that , you put on the Crab

Where can I get the cranka crab ?

@@RadReelingFishing thank you I just ordered 2 I love your channel very informative
Think you could tell me the kayak? I'm in the market for a paddle kayak.
Buy it here: bit.ly/predatorpdl_radreeling Here's my review of the kayak: th-cam.com/video/Lg0Rb3Q9IIc/w-d-xo.html
@@RadReelingFishing 2600... man that hurts my soul. Hurts more knowing how much I want it lol. Thank you for the info. It's on my potential list.
How did you buy it? It says find a dealer. What dat mean
@@buddybonbutt7510 You can order straight from Old Town.
@@RadReelingFishing oh ok.
Last question I promise lol
Year later, does your opinion stand? Anything new fall short of expectations? You really sold me on it.
@@buddybonbutt7510 I still have it and love it. The only suggestion I have is put some anti seize lubricant on the prop sheer pin when it's installed. I checked mine after a year a year of using it in saltwater and it won't budge. I think I need to us some heat to loosen it up. Other than that everything is fine.
Try savage gare 3d crab. You don't have one worry about losing claws.
How heavy is it?
@@RadReelingFishing they come in 1 oz 1/2 oz
Cranka crab were designed for bream fishing in Australia
You can wipe your feet on them door mats
Ha ha...those were some giants for sure. Thanks for watching.
Do you still use these artificial crabs? It seems that they have gone out of style lately.
I haven't fished with them because they aren't readily available on Amazon in the United States for purchase. When I was using the viewers could get them from Amazon in the U. S. I don't want to promote something that people can't get for a reasonable price. The company is in Australia, shipping is expensive.
Looks like naples area..
So many places in Fl. that look like this. Thanks for watching.
Hey I was raised the area your fishing id love to go out and fish with you shoot me a message and let’s go fishing!
Thanks for watching. Email me at radreelingfishing gmail and we can discuss you booking a charter to fish with me.
