The BXB03 is a shallow diver reaching 0.9m depth, ideal for flats and topwater-adjacent fishing. The BXB06 is a medium diver reaching 1.8m, allowing you to explore slightly deeper zones. Both share the same 5cm size and aggressive balsa action, so choose based on the depth zone you're targeting.
The BX Brat comes in seven popular colors optimized for different conditions. Silver excels in clear water and bright sunlight. Natural patterns like Chartreuse Shad mimic baitfish in most conditions. High-contrast colors like Hot Dang and Carbon work in darker water or low-light. Haymaker and Bone Craw suit transitional and stained water. Start with colors that match local baitfish or try high-visibility patterns until fish respond.
The BX Brat is designed for aggressive predators: pike (Hecht), bass (Barsch), walleye (Zander), and large perch. Its square-bill design and compact 5cm profile appeal to a wide range of species, with the shallow BXB03 particularly effective in weedy or shallow structure, and the BXB06 reaching slightly deeper ambush points.
Cast and retrieve at moderate speed for steady deflection off structure. The square-bill naturally deflects around logs, rocks, and vegetation, reducing snags. Try pausing briefly during retrieves to let the floating body hover. The rattle and flash trigger reactive strikes, so vary speed and direction to find what works. Treble hooks provide excellent hookups on aggressive strikes.
The BX Brat floats at rest. This allows you to twitch it with pauses, let it suspend momentarily, or hold it in position over deeper structure without sinking. The floating action is essential for its ability to deflect safely off obstacles.
The BX Brat combines balsa's superior action with a hard plastic exterior for durability. This hybrid construction (Balsa Composite) offers the responsive, wild action of balsa with the toughness needed for rocky structure and aggressive strikes. The square-bill design is key: it deflects rather than hangs, and the hard-rolling action triggers strikes from fish that ignore standard round-bill patterns.

The Rapala BX Brat combines a durable hard shell with a buoyant balsa core, delivering a wild, hard-flashing action that provokes strikes from aggressive predators. Available in shallow (0.9m) and medium (1.8m) diving versions, these compact 5cm crankbaits work across a wide range of conditions from clear lakes to flowing rivers.
The BX Brat features a heavy-duty plastic outer shell that protects the sensitive balsa interior, creating exceptional durability without sacrificing the responsive action that balsa bodies are known for. This Balsa Composite construction is lighter and more buoyant than solid plastic, allowing for faster retrieves and superior shallow-water contact fishing.
The signature Rapala square-bill lip provides unique deflections off structure and helps avoid snags in challenging cover. The modified V-shaped belly combined with the square bill creates unpredictable erratic action that triggers strikes, especially from pike (Hecht) and bass.
With VMC Black Nickel treble hooks and an internal rattle system, the BX Brat delivers aggressive noise and vibration. The hard-rolling action creates strong flash that mimics fleeing baitfish, making it effective in both clear and slightly turbid water.
The shallow-diving BXB03 (0.9m) searches flats and shallow structure quickly, while the BXB06 (1.8m) reaches slightly deeper zones without sacrificing castability. Both models float at rest, allowing for pause-and-twitch presentations.
