Rapala Crush City Soft Plastics

Introduction

New to this year, Rapala has introduced a soft plastics bait line: Rapala Crush City. Rapala has been known for their durable high quality hardbaits we all know and love. So when I heard they came out with soft plastics I knew I had to get my hands on them. Crafted in collaboration with top anglers, these baits are set to redefine the soft bait category with meticulous attention to detail and the innovation Rapala is renowned for. Lets take a look at the first 9 baits on the market today.

Bronco Bug

With an eye-catching profile and unique undulating action, the Bronco Bug’s dolphin-like swimming action and “bronco buck” undulating action make it a standout choice. Perfect bait for flippin and pitchin or as a jig trailer.

Freeloader

Despite its name, this chatterbait/spinnerbait trailer pulls its weight with a streamlined profile, miniature ribs for added action, and a tail that creates a subtly realistic kicking action.

Ned BLT

This compact bait combines durability, high floating, and maximum action. Built with TPE, it boasts super flexibility, ensuring constant tail movement with the slightest action. The Ned BLT screams smallmouth bass as the Ned Rig is a known staple bait that smallies can’t resist.

Cleanup Craw

This crowd favorite features upside-down legs and an insane kicking action, setting it apart from the rest. The subtle differences make a significant impact. Great for flipping into cover.

The Mayor

Dependable, adaptable, and fearless, The Mayor leads the way in all seasons and conditions. Its subtle kick, thanks to the density of the plastic, makes it a compelling choice.

The Jerk

A versatile, 3.75-inch minnow bait with incredible pliability, making it irresistible to walleye, bass, trout, and other predators. This bait has increble action that intices an aggressive bite.

The Suspect

Ideal for finesse fishing, this paddletail swimbait strikes a delicate balance, appealing to walleye, bass, trout, perch, and crappie. Perfect for dropshot and suitable for hardwater applications.

Heavy Hitter

A premium paddletail designed for multi-species mayhem, catering to walleye, pike, lake trout, largemouth, smallmouth, and striped bass. Made with super TPE Heavy Hitter can definitely take a beating.

Creeper

Reviving the soft-plastic grub concept, the Creeper curltail grub promises success in targeting bass, walleye, trout, perch, crappie, whitefish, and more.

My Plans For Rapala CrushCity

As you can see I have stocked up on my share of Rapala Crush City with great anticipation for this next bass season. One bait I’m real excited about is the Freeloader. This baits action with the slim profile is sure to attract the attention of some big fish. Prepared with a chatterbait the combo is a one two punch and will definitely land some fish.
