Geecrack Portio Curly is a compact soft lure with a finely ribbed body and curved curly tail. The dense ribbing catches the water effectively, while the relatively meaty tail produces distinct vibrations during the retrieve.
The curly tail starts working with even slight movement, allowing Portio Curly to be retrieved slowly and subtly while still producing a stronger underwater signal than a conventional lure with a thin straight tail. This design makes it well suited to light rigs and precise fishing around small areas of cover or structure.
The lure is made from Geecrack's original S.A.F. material containing salt, amino acids and flavour. The combination of the active tail and scented material provides both movement and additional scent attraction.
Geecrack recommends Portio Curly primarily for light presentations. It can be used on a drop shot, a conventional jig head or as a trailer on a small rubber jig. The meaty curly tail remains active during slow retrieves and on the fall.
The 3-inch version comes in packs of 8. Its compact profile, ribbed body and strongly working tail make Portio Curly a versatile soft lure for light and finesse fishing.
Geecrack is a Japanese fishing brand based in Gifu, specialising in the design and development of fishing lures and tackle. Soft lures form an important part of the range, with distinctive body shapes, pronounced ribbing and actions designed for both conventional retrieves and modern finesse techniques.
One of Geecrack's most recognisable features is its original S.A.F. material. The name stands for Salt, Amino Acid and Flavor, combining salt, amino acids and scent. This material is used across many of the brand's soft lure ranges and adds an extra taste and scent stimulus to the lure's physical action.
Among the most distinctive models are the heavily ribbed Bellows Gill and Bellows Stick, shad-style lures such as Gyro Star, Iron Shad, Jack Master and Revival Shad, as well as smaller finesse lures including Portio Shad, Portio Curly, Moon Curly and Dumbbell Worm. Each design differs in body profile, tail action and behaviour on the fall, allowing anglers to match the lure to a particular presentation.
Depending on the model, Geecrack soft lures can be fished on jig heads or rigs such as drop shot, Texas Rig, Free Rig, Carolina Rig and Neko Rig. The range includes both compact lures for subtle presentations and larger, bulkier designs suited to stronger actions or use as jig trailers.
Geecrack also develops lures for saltwater fishing. Ranges such as PIKUPIKU Pintail and Tairaba Super Curly use designs suited to light saltwater techniques and tai-raba fishing while retaining the brand's characteristic approach to soft-lure action and scented materials.
The wide choice of shapes, sizes and actions makes Geecrack lures suitable for many spinning and casting techniques, from slow fishing on light rigs and controlled fall presentations to bottom fishing and use as trailers on different types of jigs.
