Rapala CrushCity The Mayor
The Rapala CrushCity The Mayor is a premium paddle tail swimbait built to catch bass in virtually every season and every fishing condition. Developed in collaboration with Bassmaster Elite Series pro Jacob Wheeler, The Mayor combines a realistic baitfish profile, subtle kicking action, and Rapala's advanced Smart Injection Technology™ to create one of the most versatile soft swimbaits available.
Designed with a natural body roll and a subtle paddle tail, The Mayor begins swimming at the slowest retrieve speeds while maintaining a realistic baitfish action that appeals to both active and pressured bass. Its streamlined profile accurately imitates shad, perch, bluegill, and other common forage, making it equally effective whether you're slow rolling offshore structure, fishing shallow grass, or targeting suspended fish.
Rapala's Smart Injection Technology™ precisely places color, flake, salt, and scent where they're most effective, producing a highly realistic presentation while increasing durability and encouraging fish to hold onto the bait longer. Belly and top hook slots allow the bait to rig perfectly on swimbait jig heads, belly-weighted hooks, or as a trailer for vibrating jigs and spinnerbaits.
Whether you're chasing trophy largemouth, smallmouth, or spotted bass, The Mayor is a true "leave-it-tied-on" swimbait that consistently produces bites throughout the year.
