Rapala Crush City The Imposter Lure 2.5 Inch

The Rapala Crush City The Imposter 2.5" is a hyper-realistic shrimp imitation built to fool finicky estuary predators. Small in size but big in impact, this compact prawn-style soft plastic mimics the subtle movements of real crustaceans — ideal for targeting Bream, Whiting, Estuary Perch, and Flathead in pressured or clear-water conditions.

Crafted from ultra-soft and highly durable T.P.E. material, The Imposter offers excellent action and longevity. Its infused shrimp scent makes it irresistible to sight-feeding fish, while the vibrating legs and appendages come alive on every twitch, pause, or slow roll.

Rig it on a standard VMC Grip-R Jighead to hop and dart through sandy flats and mangrove edges, or go weedless using the built-in back slit to probe deep into snags and weed beds with confidence. Its natural appearance and scent make it one of the most effective finesse prawn lures available for Australian estuary fishing.
