Raid Japan Level Crank — Features & specifications
RAID JAPAN’s LEVEL CRANK is a shallow-running crankbait developed specifically for bank fishing, with an emphasis on improved casting distance, depth-keeping ability, and obstacle-deflection performance. Despite its compact 50.8 mm body, it offers long-casting performance comparable to that of a vibration plug, making it easy to reach areas such as offshore weed beds and riprap from the bank.
While typical crankbaits dive with a nose-down posture, the LEVEL CRANK is characterized by its nearly horizontal swimming position. This horizontal posture helps prevent it from charging into obstacles, allowing it to pass along cover while avoiding weeds and riprap. It is a 3/8 oz-class slow-sinking model that can be used while adjusting the shallow-running depth according to retrieve speed and rod angle. Its silent design, with reduced rattle sound, is suited to situations where you want to quietly retrieve the lure through a consistent depth around shallow-water cover. This compact crankbait is designed for bank fishing, excelling both when covering a wide area with long casts and when retrieving while making contact with cover.
