The Rapala Balsa Xtreme BX Brat Squarebill Crankbaits are known for their compact size and impressive performance. They are considered to be one of the top shallow running crankbaits on the market. Ideal for fishing in areas with shallow cover such as rocks, stumps, laydowns, and grass, these crankbaits are a powerful tool.
The placement of the square lip and line tie causes the bait to swim with its nose down, ensuring that the lip makes contact with obstacles first. This enables the bait to swiftly deflect away from cover, triggering reaction bites and preventing the VMC treble hooks from getting snagged.
The BX Brat is constructed with a balsa inner core surrounded by a tough copolymer armor coating. The balsa core creates a noticeable wobble and swimming action due to its high buoyancy. The durable copolymer coating provides excellent impact resistance, allowing you to cast confidently around docks and rip-rap without worrying about your crankbait breaking apart.
The BX Brat is available in models that dive to depths of 3′ and 6′, making it a popular choice among tournament anglers who fish in shallow waters.
