Harvey Baits 7.5" Crank – Premium Cedar Musky Crankbait

Trigger explosive, violent reaction strikes with the Harvey Baits 7.5" Crank. Engineered specifically for big-game freshwater anglers, this hard-thumping musky lure is precision-carved from select premium cedar wood. Natural cedar offers a dense vibration frequency and target-specific buoyancy profile that plastic baits simply cannot replicate, giving you a decisive edge on heavily pressured waters.

Every bait reflects top-tier artisan craft, wrapped in rich, realistic custom detail. Designed to endure the brutal crunch of trophy muskies and northern pike, each body is reinforced under 5 thick coats of high-gloss protective finish. The heavy-duty metal lip bites instantly into the water column on the retrieve, digging down fast and holding strong against high speeds. Fitted with heavy-duty split rings and ultra-tough 4x VMC 5/0 trebles, this crankbait keeps monster fish pinned all the way to the net.

Now available in an expanded selection of custom, high-visibility color options ready to handle any water clarity or lighting condition.

Pro Tip

Exploit the Natural Rise: While a continuous sweep or deep "slow roll" covers water efficiently, try using a pause-and-sweep rhythm to trigger followers. Pull your rod tip forward to drive the bait down into its depth zone, then stop your retrieve entirely. The natural buoyancy of the cedar causes the lure to back up and float toward the surface. Muskies shadowing the lure will frequently smash it right at the moment it stalls out.
