The Rapala Balsa Xtreme BX Brat Squarebill Crankbaits are highly regarded shallow running crankbaits that are compact yet powerful. They are designed to tackle shallow cover such as rocks, stumps, laydowns, and grass with ease. The unique positioning of the square lip and line tie causes the bait to swim nose down, ensuring that the lip makes the first contact with any obstacles. This results in the bait quickly deflecting away from cover, triggering reaction bites and preventing the VMC treble hooks from getting snagged. The BX Brat features a balsa inner core, surrounded by a tough copolymer armor coating. The balsa core gives the bait an impressive wobbling and swimming action due to its high buoyancy. The durable copolymer coating provides excellent impact resistance, so you can confidently cast at docks and rip-rap without worrying about the bait breaking. The BX Brat is available in models with diving depths of 3′ and 6′, making it a go-to choice for tournament anglers across the country.
