Rapala BX Skitter Frog 4.5cm 7.5g Gold Fluorescent Red

Rapala BX Skitter Frog 4.5cm 7.5g Gold Fluorescent Red — Built to Punch Through Heavy Cover

The BX Skitter Frog is Rapala's purpose-built topwater frog lure for fishing the nastiest mats, pads, and vegetation where big predators hide. In Gold Fluorescent Red, it delivers standout visibility in stained or shadowed water.

Balsa Core, Copolymer Shell — The Best of Both Worlds

At the heart of the BX Skitter Frog is a responsive balsa wood core that gives the lure a lively, reactive action — the kind no solid-plastic frog can replicate. The tough copolymer outer shell protects that core so the bait survives multiple strikes and can keep working long after the first fish is landed.

Weedless Design That Actually Works

The upward-turned VMC 7925 Black Nickel double hook (#1/0) rides point-up through the thickest cover without snagging, while the thick rubber skirt seals the hook gap and pushes through weeds cleanly. When a predator commits, the skirt compresses on the strike and the hooks drive home reliably.
