Rapala BX Brat Crankbaits 5cm 1.8m 10g CSD chartreuse shad

Rapala BX Brat Crankbait – Balsa Performance in an Armoured Shell

The BX Brat combines the lively action of a balsa core with the durability of a reinforced copolymer outer shell, making it a reliable workhorse for medium-depth cranking in both fresh and brackish water.

Built Tough for Structure Fishing

A heavy-duty outer shell protects the buoyant balsa heart, so you can confidently bounce off rocks, timber and rip-rap without retiring the lure after a few sessions. The square lip deflects off cover unpredictably, triggering reaction strikes from wary predators.

Aggressive Action That Draws Fish In

The modified flat-side body with a V-cut belly produces a hard-rolling, high-flash swimming pattern. Erratic kick-outs and wild tracking keep bass, pike, and catfish guessing, turning followers into biters.

Choose the Right Variant

The BX Brat family spans two running depths and multiple colour options. Match the dive depth to your target zone and select a pattern that fits local forage or water clarity.

• Chartreuse Shad (CSD) – 1.8 m depth: High-visibility finish ideal for stained or murky water; reaches mid-depth ledges and submerged weed lines.

• Silver (S) – 1.8 m depth: Classic baitfish imitation for clear-water situations; effective over deeper flats.

• Haymaker – 1.8 m depth: Subtle natural tones for pressured fish in moderate clarity.

• DEL – 1.8 m depth: Alternative colour option for varied conditions.

• Chartreuse Shad (CSD) – 0.9 m depth: Same proven colour for shallower flats and shoreline targets.

• Silver (S) – 0.9 m depth: Bright flash for shallow, clear water.

• Hay – 0.9 m depth: Earthy hues suited to sandy or weedy shallows.

• Carbon – 0.9 m depth: Dark, low-profile pattern for bright days or finicky fish.

• Bone Craw – 0.9 m depth: Crawfish silhouette for rocky bottoms.

• Hot Dang – 0.9 m depth: Bold attractor colour when fish are aggressive.

• Change Up – 0.9 m depth: Versatile mixed pattern for transitional conditions.

• DEL – 0.9 m depth: Additional colour choice for experimentation.
