Sinking Lure CWC Buster Jerk 2 Deep Crank - 12 cm

Product advantages

The CWC Buster 2 Deep Crank is a deep crankbait specially developed for pike fishing and large freshwater predators. Its robust construction and profiled lip allow it to quickly reach deep zones where the most wary and educated fish often hold.

Thanks to its lip equipped with several attachment eyelets, this crankbait offers great versatility. By simply changing the attachment point you adjust the swimming depth and the angle of entry into the water, which lets you prospect both shorelines and holes, breaklines and submerged shoals. This modularity makes it an excellent versatile pike lure, capable of adapting to many fishing situations.

Technical specifications

• Hard crankbait with a lip designed for controlled deep swimming.
• Lip fitted with multiple attachment eyelets to adjust depth and swimming action.
• Rolling and erratic swim action, highly attractive to pike both when active and when cautious.
• Suitable for cast-and-retrieve from shore or boat, as well as for slow or sustained trolling.
• Adapted to the main freshwater environments frequented by predators: lakes, gravel pits, canals and large rivers.
• Built to withstand repeated attacks and the powerful jaws of large pike.

Advantages and strengths

The main strength of the Buster 2 Deep Crank lies in its rolling and erratic motion, punctuated by micro-wriggles and irregular rhythm changes. This natural animation perfectly imitates a weakened or fleeing baitfish, triggering the aggressiveness of lurking pike. Predators find it hard to resist this strong visual signal, especially when you include pauses during retrieval.

Its compact, stable profile allows it to hold the line even at sustained speeds, whether in cast-and-retrieve or trolling. The lure remains controllable and does not stall, allowing fast retrieves to cover lots of water, as well as slower, more insistent animations above obstacles. This stability, combined with strong vibration, makes it an ideal prospecting lure for quickly locating active fish.

Another major advantage is the ability to easily vary the running depth thanks to the different attachment points. Depending on the chosen eyelet, the lure will dive faster or slower and operate at distinct water levels. You can thus precisely target the depth layer where pike are holding without changing lures on each drift. This is a valuable asset to optimize your fishing time and adapt to variations in depth and structure.

Usage tips

The CWC Buster 2 Deep Crank performs well both in cast-and-retrieve and in trolling. When casting, long fan casts are recommended to systematically comb a given area: reed edges, drop-offs, island heads, submerged timber or deep weedbeds. Vary retrieval speeds and don’t hesitate to include pronounced pauses; it is often on the restart that the most violent strikes occur.

When trolling, let the lure run several meters behind the boat and adapt line length and attachment point to precisely control depth. A moderate speed will make the most of the crankbait’s rolling action while maintaining constant contact with the lure. Watch the rod: the strong vibration of the Buster 2 Deep Crank is clearly felt, and any variation in that rhythm can signal a strike or a snag in vegetation.

This pike lure gives excellent results on simple rigs with a leader adapted to predator teeth. It can be used with various types of rods and reels intended for big-fish lures, provided the outfit allows comfortable casting and animating of a deep crankbait. To optimize your sessions, regularly change cadence: slow retrieves above obstacles, sustained retrieves to trigger following fish, or stop-and-go animations to provoke reflex strikes.

When facing wary or heavily pressured fish, emphasize pauses and direction changes. A simple trajectory variation, achieved by moving the rod or slightly modifying retrieval speed, is often enough to convince a hesitant pike. Don’t hesitate to alternate several running depths by using the different attachment eyelets to quickly identify the most productive water layer.

FAQ

Question 1 : Is this lure reserved for pike fishing?

Answer: No — while it is particularly effective on pike, this deep crankbait can also interest other freshwater predators such as zander (pikeperch) or large perch when they feed on baitfish in open water or near the bottom.

Question 2 : Do I need specific gear to use this lure?

Answer: It is recommended to use a rod and reel designed for predator fishing with hard lures, offering good power reserve and an action capable of handling the vibrations of a deep crankbait. A leader resistant to pike teeth is also advised to fully enjoy the potential of the CWC Buster 2 Deep Crank.
