Fake CRANKA

Hey guys,

It has come to our attention that a seller on ebay is now trading lures as CRANKA

Please note that these lures are NOT CRANKA products and looking at this sellers customer comments it would seem this is a real case of buyer beware!

The CRANKA brand name is a registered trademarked and we will be proceeding with appropriate action against this seller!

Just thought is was appropriate to give everyone on BM a heads up about this and to just clarify that CRANKA Does NOT sell on E bay!

Cheers
Steersy

Steersy, I suggest you get in touch with Duo Lures also. The first pic is a rip off of an M Line 65 Crank (either A or B model).

Either way mate I don't think ya got a worry. Your branding is pretty well known and highly regarded. I'd be very surprised to see people fooled by this one.

Ha sounds like some other Aussie brands…………

Steersy I feel for ya on this one mate, there have been a lot of copies turning up of late. There was even one found last night from a fellow Searing Tackle member with some of our products. Its pitiful to say the least.

Good luck

utter crap mate. I'd just like to take a minute to let you know how refreshing it is to have an Australian lure maker making innovative and original lures. I hope we are internationally recognised for lures like your Cranka Crab and not making cheap knock-offs and trying to make money of other peoples work. Well done steersy. Keep up the great work mate.

Steersy,
hope you nail this fool who has copied your trade name, with his bad service and poor quality products I just hope he does not interfere with your good name and product.

A bit different when they are copying the name not just the shape and colours.
