Seafloor Control Cranky LSG Dian Matte Black Fishing Lure

The SEAFLOOR CONTROL Cranky in LSG Daian's Matte Black is a short jig built for deep-sea fishing. It pairs a matte black face with a full glow-coated back, a classic combination favored by anglers chasing deep-water species like Skilfish and Splendid Alfonsino.

Designed by angler Norihiro Sato as SEAFLOOR CONTROL's first self-designed short jig, the Cranky was built to be an easy, automatic jig that anyone can fish with confidence. Its stepped body surface smooths water flow, letting the lure turn sideways with ease on the lift, then fall with a horizontal vibrating action that draws bites on both the rise and the drop. During testing, Sato found it worked just as well on ribbonfish and blackthroat seaperch, proof of the design's versatility beyond deep-sea jigging.

For anglers new to slow pitch jerk fishing, the Cranky rewards a relaxed, slow one-pitch motion. It also handles quarter-pitch, short-pitch retrieves well for those who want to keep it working within range on a point.

This signature colorway honors Mr. Muramatsu, known as Daian, the pioneer angler who proved that Skilfish could be caught on jigs back when neither the gear nor the technique for it truly existed. His matte black and full-glow-backed combination has landed countless Skilfish over the years and remains the go-to choice for anglers heading into deep-sea jigging for Alfonsino or Skilfish alike. If you're not sure what to tie on, this is the color, and the Cranky is the jig.
