Rapala Crush City The Infiltrator Lure 3 Inch

Designed specifically for Australian predators, the Rapala Crush City The Infiltrator 3 Inch delivers natural baitfish movement from slow rolls to fast, aggressive retrieves across fresh and saltwater.

The Rapala Crush City The Infiltrator 3 Inch is a compact soft plastic swimbait built around patented FlexLock Technology, producing a smooth, natural swimming motion even at very slow retrieve speeds. Increase the pace and the front bib creates secondary action that develops into a nervous shimmy through the body, giving anglers the ability to change the lure's behaviour simply by varying retrieve speed.

A secondary rear bib adds balance and control to keep the Infiltrator swimming effectively, while high-density mineral powder is incorporated into the belly and baitfish scent adds another attraction element. Designed for Australian fishing, this versatile 3 inch soft plastic can be slow rolled, burned around structure, fished with a wind-and-fall presentation or strolled to keep the lure in the strike zone.

Expert Advice

The versatility of the 3 Inch Infiltrator comes from how much you can change its action with retrieve speed. Start with a slow roll when fish are tentative or you need to keep the lure working naturally in the strike zone. If predators are active, increase the pace to bring out the nervous body shimmy created by the front bib. Around structure, try burning the lure past likely ambush points to encourage a reaction strike. A wind-and-fall retrieve gives you another option when fish are holding deeper, while strolling can keep the soft plastic in productive water for longer. Match your jighead, braid and leader to the species, depth, current and structure you are fishing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What species is the Rapala Crush City Infiltrator 3 Inch designed for?

The Infiltrator was designed specifically with Australian predators in mind. Rapala recommends it for freshwater species including Australian bass, saratoga and Murray cod, as well as saltwater species such as mangrove jack, flathead, bream and a wide range of other predators.

How should I retrieve the Rapala Infiltrator?

The Infiltrator can be fished several ways, including slow rolling, burning it around structure, wind and fall, and strolling. A slow retrieve produces smooth natural movement, while increasing speed creates a more nervous shimmy through the body.

What does the front bib on the Infiltrator do?

The front bib generates secondary action. As retrieve speed increases, this develops into a nervous shimmy through the lure's body. A second bib at the rear provides balance and control, helping maintain the swimming action.

When should I choose the 3 Inch Infiltrator?

The 3 Inch model is the compact option in the Infiltrator range and is a practical choice when matching smaller baitfish or when you want a more subtle soft plastic presentation. Its ability to swim naturally at slow speeds also makes it useful when fish are reluctant to chase aggressively.
