Rapala Crush City Freeloader 6.25" Soft Plastic Lure

Made to tempt trophy barra, Murray cod and big predators with a large shad profile and powerful, natural quiver.

The Rapala Crush City Freeloader 6.25" is the heavyweight of the Freeloader family, offering a bold baitfish profile designed to draw strikes from Australia’s biggest freshwater and estuary predators. This size is ideal when fish want a bigger meal, or when forward-facing sonar shows larger class fish holding deep or suspended.

A flat-sided body and oversized ribbed pin tail deliver a pronounced yet natural quiver that activates with minimal movement—perfect for controlled hover strolling, slow rolling across structure or presenting vertically to deeper holding fish. The infused scent, salt and reflective flake boost realism and help fish chew with confidence.

Whether it’s barra in the timber, Murray cod on edges or XL flathead on channels, the 6.25" Freeloader provides the presence and lifelike movement needed for big strikes. This is the size to tie on when you’re hunting trophies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 6.25" size too big for bass?
Not for trophy-size bass. It closely matches large forage found in impoundments, making it effective on bigger fish.

What rods suit this larger plastic?
A medium-heavy to heavy rod offers the control and hook-setting power needed for this larger lure.

Does it work with forward-facing sonar?
Yes. Its larger profile holds extremely well on sonar screens and triggers reaction bites from suspended fish.

When should I choose the 6.25" over smaller sizes?
When targeting big predators, fishing dirty water, or when fish are feeding on larger baitfish.
