Rapala BX Brat 5cm 0.9m 10g CSD

Rapala BX Brat 5cm CSD – Shallow-Water Crankbait with Unmatched Durability

The BX Brat combines a buoyant balsa core with a rugged copolymer shell, delivering classic crankbait action that stands up to relentless contact fishing in shallow cover.

Built Tough for Structure-Heavy Water

While traditional balsa lures can crack and chip when bouncing off rocks, wood, or riprap, the BX Brat's reinforced outer shell absorbs the punishment. The result is a crankbait you can confidently throw into snag-filled zones without sacrificing the lively action balsa is known for.

Aggressive Deflections That Trigger Strikes

The signature Rapala square lip produces erratic kick-outs and wild tracking whenever the lure contacts hard structure. Combined with the hard-rolling body and intense flash from the modified flat-side design, these unpredictable deflections provoke reaction bites from pike, bass, and catfish alike.
