The Hama Crank represents Murakami's foundational crankbait philosophy made physical - built around the concept of \"using all water pressure as wobbling energy\" while eliminating every unnecessary resistance point. Its body surface is flush without gills or other mouldings, pursuing zero energy loss; its long lip is designed for action rather than diving, tapered to the utmost thinness at the edge; and its flowing body line allows water flow to escape to the rear without load during the retrieve, while the narrowed tail swings with precise response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a crankbait refined and balanced to demonstrate 100% of its potential at just 80% of retrieve speed - a lure that demands less from the angler than any conventional crankbait of the era to deliver its full action. The Gold Black (Plated) colourway applies a premium metallic plated finish - a gold-black electroplated treatment that sets it apart from the matte and natural colour options in the Hama Crank range, presenting a high-contrast, mirror-quality surface that generates flash at depth in a way that conventional paint finishes cannot replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tsunekichi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48250931576969,"sku":"WG-TSUN-HAMA-131","price":79.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/1038\/4009\/files\/Gem-546.jpg?v=1788254196"},{"product_id":"tsunekichi-co-hama-crank-55mr-ginkaku-kyoto-exclusive","title":"Tsunekichi Co Hama Crank 55MR","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eJapan Market Find \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e- sourced directly by Wilder's Fishing \u0026amp; Supply Co. from the Japanese tackle market during a sourcing trip in 2026.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 55mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 8.5g (3\/10 oz.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Mid-Deep Crankbait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAction: Mid-Wide Wobble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuoyancy: Hi-Float\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDive Depth: 1.8–2.1m (6–7 ft.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHooks: Owner Treble Hooks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLure: near mint - package had been opened\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging: near mint - showing some minor signs of aging and handling marks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the Hama Crank 62MR was developed for open-water Lake Biwa fishing, the Co Hama 55MR is Haruhiko Murakami's precision-scaled companion - designed specifically for spinning tackle presentations in closed and small areas, carrying the same zero-energy-loss design philosophy of the 62MR into a 55mm body that excels in pressured ponds, rivers, and tight-cover environments where shore fishermen work.
