Rapala CrushCity The Curl: The Curl Tail That Saves Tough Days

Discover everything about the Rapala CrushCity The Curl

The Rapala CrushCity The Curl is part of the Rapala CrushCity family, and trust us: this softbait will save your day when the bite is tough.

With its ultra-sensitive curl tail, The Curl comes to life with the slightest movement. No clumsy action, just finesse. Subtle. Fluttering. Exactly what perch need to trigger a strike.

It's available in three sizes: 7.5 cm (8 per pack), 10 cm (6 per pack) and 12.5 cm (4 per pack), and of course in a range of proven, fish-catching colours!

Perfect for tough days

The Rapala CrushCity The Curl is made for those moments when predators are slow, cautious or just plain tricky.

  • The tail keeps moving at the slowest speed
  • Perfect for drop shot, light jig heads, Carolina rigs and other finesse techniques
  • Charlie often fishes it on a Carolina rig in 7.5 and 10 cm, while Silvian loves it on a drop shot in 7.5 cm
  • Works great both dragged along the bottom and retrieved slowly
  • We use it mainly for perch, and the bites are often aggressive, even when it feels like nothing's happening
