Built to buck brush and the competition, the Rapala Crush City Bronco Bug was designed in collaboration between Rapala and Major League Fishing pro, Jacob Wheeler, to create a unique bait and action that most bass haven't seen before. Two large vertical appendages resemble a set of chaps, which generate a dolphin-like swimming action as it kicks through the water. It also features multiple smaller appendages that produce a subtle secondary action that adds to its like lifelike appeal.
Using Smart Injection Technology, each bait combines custom combinations of color, flake, salt, and scent, that are added precisely where needed for the perfect presentation. On the top and bottom, the Rapala Crush City Bronco Bug features soft ribbed hook slots that conceal hook points for completely a weedless profile and to maximize the lifespan of the bait. Offered in a range of colors that are crucial for Jacob Wheeler's tournament success, the Rapala Crush City Bronco Bug is deadly when paired with your favorite jig, Texas-rig, Carolina-rig, or shakey head.
JUNKThis bait does not last more than 1 fish catch, sometimes not even more than 1 bite and the claws are gone, get the fish in the boat, fish shakes its head and the claws go flying. its ridiculous, if ZMAN makes this exact bait i will buy 1000 of them because i know the plastic will not break.

Bronco bugThis bait has a unique action that get big fish to bite. And I love the durability of this thing. Great for flipping and pitching, and could probably work on the back of a jig.

Very cool, but just a little TOO softI bought a bunch of these in different colors to try out. I like the design of the bait overall, and the colors choices are great as well. I was using them for punching/flipping heavy cover. First off: DO NOT USE a Trokar heavy cover flipping hook as these baits are SO SOFT that the Trokar hooks cut right thru and destroy them. Also, I'd shy away from using this as a punching bait as a whole... again, due to the softness of the bait: the connection where the "claws" meet the bait is so thin that the claws tear right off sometimes on hooksets. This bait is better used for flipping tulles, laydowns, shorelines where there is some open water.

gets bites but at a priceI bought them just to try out and they did prove themselves I had caught multiple 3lb bass but after about 3 feisty bass the claws seem to fall off due to the thin plastic that divides the body from the claws giving it more action.

Always gets bitThis is my favorite bed fishing bait. Rigged up weightless and drag it through the bed and the bass murd*r it. I dont know why people say it tears easy because thats not the case for me. The one I have tied on right now has caught 6 fish so far. They are a little pricey but they catch fish! Will be stocking up next time I see them on sale.

Best flipping baitJust tried this at my local pond on a flipping rig, ok beds and I can’t be mad. I was getting bite after bite from Quality fish. I was fishing with the black blue flake. This bait won’t come off the hook and a has a design that will last through so many fish.

catch fish too flimsyThese are nice baits that catch fish, but they sometimes tear off in one bite or a bluegills and pearch nibbling them. I don't find them to catch more than other baits so I stand clear. of them because they don't last and are expensive.

Bronco bugGreat bait. Definitely puts fish in the boat. But if your in an area with lots of small bass, perch, crappie the legs get bit off quite easily. The bait is not very durable tears easily. For the price you only get 6 baits. They're packaged very well. The plastic sleeve they come in must raise the cost. Put them
in a plastic bag get 8-10 baits. Probably would sell more.
