Key Features and Their Benefits

1. Realistic Prawn-Style Design

The Imposter prawn shape, colour patterns, and proportions are carefully crafted to mimic real prawns. This attention to detail triggers fish's predatory instincts, making them more likely to strike. The realistic design is especially effective in clear water conditions where fish can get a good look at their potential prey.

2. Soft Plastic T.P.E Material

The use of Thermo Plastic Elastomer (T.P.E) in The Imposter's construction offers multiple advantages:

• Durability: T.P.E resists tearing and damage from fish teeth, extending the lure's lifespan.
• Lifelike Movement: The material's flexibility allows for natural, prawn-like motion in the water, even with subtle rod movements.
• Buoyancy: T.P.E provides positive buoyancy, giving your lures a tail-up presentation that mimics a prawn's natural position and attracts curious fish during pauses in retrieval.

3. Core Shot Technology

This innovative manufacturing process creates a unique colour offering by injecting different coloured plastics into the lure's core and outer layer. The benefits include:

• Customised Attraction: Anglers can choose colour combinations that best match local bait or stand out in different water conditions.
• Durability: The colour is embedded throughout the lure, maintaining its appearance even after multiple catches.

4. Shrimp Scent Infusion

The Crush City Imposter prawn soft plastic lure is infused with a carefully formulated shrimp scent that offers several advantages:

• Extended Attraction: The scent disperses in the water, creating a scent trail that can attract fish from a distance.
• Trigger to Strike: Once a fish investigates the lure, the familiar scent encourages it to bite and hold on longer, increasing hook-up rates.
• Masks Human Scent: The strong shrimp smell helps to cover any human scents that might deter wary fish.

Target Species and Size Selection Guide

3-inch size (7.62 cm)

Ideal for a variety of inshore fish in Australian waters, including:

• Bream
• Flathead
• Whiting
• Small snapper
• Australian Bass

This size mimics juvenile prawns and smaller species, making it perfect for finesse fishing in estuaries, rivers, and inshore areas.

4.5-inch size (11.43 cm)

Geared towards the northern Australian market and larger species., this size is effective for:

• Barramundi
• Fingermark
• Queenfish
• Threadfin salmon
• Snapper and other reef fish

The larger profile imitates adult prawns, making it irresistible to predatory fish that typically target larger prey. It's also an excellent choice for southern waters when targeting larger specimens.

Recommended Rigging and Techniques

Jig Head Selection

• 3-inch Imposter: Use jig heads with hook sizes between 1 to 2/0. The weight of the jig head should be matched to the depth and current of your fishing spot.
• 4.5-inch Imposter: Jig heads in the 3/0 to 4/0 range generally suit this larger size. Again, adjust the weight based on fishing conditions.

Rigging Tips

1. Ensure the lure sits straight on the jig head to maintain a natural swimming action.
2. Consider using a weighted wide-gap hook or a Texas rig for weedless applications.

Retrieval Techniques

1. Slow Roll: A steady, slow retrieve along the bottom can imitate a prawn trying to escape.
2. Hop and Drop: Lift your rod tip to make the Imposter soft plastic lure hop off the bottom, then let it fall naturally. This mimics a prawn's defensive jumping behaviour.
3. Twitch and Pause: Short, sharp twitches followed by pauses can trigger reaction strikes from predatory fish.
