In fishing terminology, a crank (short for "crankbait") is a type of hard artificial lure designed to mimic the movement of injured or fleeing prey, such as small fish or crustaceans. Its defining feature is a diving lip (a metal or plastic protrusion) that creates resistance in water, causing the lure to dive or "crank" downward when retrieved. Crankbaits are widely used in both freshwater and saltwater fishing to target predatory species.
