Rapala CrushCity Customs The Curl 4"

The Rapala CrushCity Customs The Curl 4" is a highly effective soft plastic lure designed to provoke strikes from predatory fish in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Featuring a super-responsive curl tail, this lure creates a natural swimming action that begins moving with the slightest retrieve, making it exceptionally effective when targeting sluggish, pressured, or cautious fish.

Built using Rapala's advanced Smart Injection Technology™, The Curl 4" incorporates strategically placed salt and scent to enhance both lure action and fish attraction. Its larger profile provides increased visibility and water displacement, making it ideal for targeting larger predators while maintaining the subtle, lifelike action that defines the CrushCity range.

Technical Specifications

Advanced Smart Injection Technology™

The Curl 4" utilizes Rapala's Smart Injection Technology™, which enables multiple material densities, scents, and salt concentrations to be precisely integrated into a single soft bait. This innovative manufacturing process enhances swimming performance, realism, and fish-catching effectiveness.

Responsive Swimming Action

The specially engineered curl tail activates instantly, even during ultra-slow retrieves. The tail produces a smooth, flowing action that closely resembles a distressed or fleeing baitfish, making it highly effective when fish are feeding cautiously or holding close to structure.

Enhanced Scent and Salt Attraction

Salt and scent are strategically infused into the lure's belly, while additional scent is incorporated into the upper body. This dual-attraction system encourages predators to investigate and hold onto the lure longer, increasing hook-up opportunities and overall catch rates.

Larger Profile for Bigger Predators

At 4 inches in length, The Curl offers a larger baitfish profile than the 3-inch model, making it particularly effective when targeting larger fish or when predators are actively feeding on bigger forage. The increased size also improves visibility in stained water and low-light conditions.
