The Rapala Balsa Xtreme BX Brat Squarebill Crankbaits are compact crankbaits that are highly effective in shallow water fishing. They are known for their ability to navigate through various types of cover such as rocks, stumps, laydowns, and grass.
The unique design of these crankbaits, with both the square lip and line tie positioned in a way that causes the bait to swim with its nose down, helps it to make first contact with obstacles. This allows the bait to easily deflect away from cover, triggering reaction bites, while keeping the hooks clear from potential hang ups.
The BX Brat is constructed with a balsa inner core which gives it a prominent wobble and swimming action due to its high buoyancy. This inner core is surrounded by a durable copolymer coating that provides excellent impact resistance. This means you can confidently cast at docks and rip-rap without worrying about the bait breaking upon impact.
The BX Brat crankbaits are available in models with both 3′ and 6′ diving depths, making them suitable for various shallow water fishing situations. These crankbaits have gained popularity among tournament anglers across the country as an effective tool for targeting fish in shallow areas.
