Illex Master Crank 47 SR: Shallow-Running Crankbait for Active Predators
The Illex Master Crank 47 SR stands out with its compact build and a running behaviour tuned specifically for the upper water layers. As a floating shallow runner, this Illex crankbait dives to around 1,2m (4 ft), making it ideal for shallow margins, weed edges and zones just beneath the surface. Among Illex lures built for finesse presentations, it is a dependable choice.
At a length of 4,7cm (1-7/8 in) and a weight of 6,2g (1/4 oz), this hardbait produces a pronounced wobble-roll action. The blend of side roll and tight wiggle makes it a convincing perch crankbait, yet it appeals just as readily to pike, chub and asp. The natural action comes alive on a simple steady retrieve, while short pauses in a stop-and-go pattern trigger extra strikes.
Thanks to its floating behaviour, the bait rises slowly during the pause and offers an additional cue that often tempts cautious fish to commit. The sharp Jackall Genuine Treble RB Medium #8 ensures solid contact during the fight.
