Rapala BX Skitter Frog 4.5cm 7.5g Toman

Rapala BX Skitter Frog — Built to Punch Through Heavy Cover and Draw Savage Strikes

The Rapala BX Skitter Frog (BX = Balsa Extreme) is a purpose-built topwater frog lure designed to reach the lies where big predators like toman (giant snakehead) hold tight — beneath lily pads, over hyacinth mats, and through dense weed cover — and trigger explosive surface attacks.

Balsa Core Meets Copolymer Toughness

At the heart of the BX Skitter Frog is a responsive balsa wood core enclosed in a hard copolymer shell. The balsa drives a lively, reactive action even on a slow retrieve, while the durable outer shell protects the lure from the repeated crushing bites that aggressive species like toman and snakehead deliver. The result is a frog bait that feels alive yet survives session after session.

Weedless Design with an Upturned Premium Double Hook

The thick rubber skirt and upward-facing VMC® 7925 Black Nickel double hook #1/0 work together to let this lure glide over mats and through tangles with minimal snagging. When a fish strikes, the skirt compresses and the hook finds purchase — giving you a dependable connection on fish that hit fast and hard. At 4.5 cm and 7.5 g, this size is well-matched to the feeding windows of toman and smaller surface-hunting predators.
