English term or phrase: crankbait
Definition from Oxford:
A lure with a shape that enables it to dive and stay under water, typically via a flat lip on the front.

Example sentence(s):
  • When the water temperature reaches the 52- to 55-degree range in the spring, try medium-diving crankbaits in crawfish patterns. A couple of weeks after the spawn the fish start moving away from the banks a little bit and then the shad-color crankbaits (shallow and medium divers) are real productive. Bass lose interest in chasing lures during summer, but you can still trigger strikes banging deep-diving crankbaits along the bottom. Karl's Bait and Tackle
  • The key with shallow-diving crankbaits is to fish them with no regard to getting them hung up. While this may seem crazy for a lure that has two treble hooks attached, shallow-divers actually do not hang up often if you reel them in fast enough. FIX
  • Selecting the best crankbait is a more involved process than with most other bass lures. There are many factors to consider on these baits. But the most important factor is how deep do you want it to dive. Crankbaits can run from just barely below the surface to as deep as thirty-five feet. Best Bass Fishing Lures

クランクベイト


Definition from ツリホウ(釣報):
丸っこい小魚のような形状をしたルアーで、リップと呼ばれるベロのようなプラスチック板がついている。浮力が高いため水面に浮くが、リールを巻くと規則正しく左右に動きながらリップの長さに応じてどんどん潜っていく。浅場を狙うシャロークランク、中層を狙うミディアムクランク、深場を狙うディープクランクなどの種類がある。

Example sentence(s):
  • クランクベイト最大の特徴は、その丸っこいボディが持つ『高い浮力』。浮力を持ったボディがリップの抵抗により潜ることで、大きく力強いアクションを起こします。 - TSURI HACK [釣りハック]
