Technical Specifications

Smart Injection Technology

Rapala’s Smart Injection Technology allows multiple material densities, salt content, and scent placement to be strategically incorporated into a single lure. This advanced manufacturing process improves swimming action, durability, and overall fish attraction while maintaining a realistic presentation in the water.

Exceptional Tail Action

The Curl’s specially designed tail begins moving with minimal water resistance, creating a lifelike undulating motion even during slow retrieves. This responsive action makes it highly effective when fish are lethargic, feeding selectively, or holding deep in cooler water conditions.

Enhanced Fish Attraction

To increase strike rates, salt and scent are infused directly into the lure’s belly, while additional scent is incorporated into the back section. This dual-attraction system encourages fish to investigate and hold onto the lure longer, providing anglers with improved hook-setting opportunities.
