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

"poisson nageur" ou "crankbait"


Definition from own experience or research:
Le terme "crankbait" est généralement conservé en français pour désigner ce type de leurres qui sa caractérise par les mouvements de nage du leurre immergé. "Leurre poisson nageur" est davantage une définition que le terme généralement utilisé.

Example sentence(s):
  • En dépit de leur aspect un peu balourd, ces poissons nageurs exigent une conception rigoureuse et une fabrication soignée pour remplir parfaitement leur mission. En effet, si un défaut d'équilibre ne prête pas trop à conséquence chez un jerkbait que l'on cherche justement à déséquilibrer, le crankbait, lui, doit nager à la perfection, sans dévier de sa trajectoire. - http://www.carnassiers.com/sommaire/perf
