The Rapala Balsa Xtreme BX Brat Squarebill Crankbaits are compact squarebill lures that are highly respected in the fishing industry. They are known for their ability to run shallow and are considered one of the best in the market. These lures are perfect for fishing in areas with shallow cover such as rocks, stumps, laydowns, and grass.
The design of the BX Brat features a square lip and line tie that cause the bait to swim with its nose down. This means that the lip is the first part of the lure to make contact with obstacles. As a result, the bait can aggressively deflect away from cover, triggering reaction bites from fish. Additionally, this design keeps the VMC treble hooks clear from potential hang ups.
The BX Brat is made with a balsa inner core that is coated with a rugged copolymer. The balsa core provides the lure with a prominent wobble and swimming action, thanks to its high buoyancy. Meanwhile, the copolymer coating makes the lure highly impact resistant, so you can cast with confidence even when fishing around docks and rip-rap.
You can choose from models with diving depths of 3′ and 6′. The BX Brat has gained popularity among tournament anglers across the country as a go-to shallow cranking bait.
