Rapala BX Skitter Frog 5.5cm 13g Matte Chrome

Rapala BX Skitter Frog 5.5 cm 13 g — Matte Chrome — Built to Punch Through Heavy Cover

The BX Skitter Frog in Matte Chrome is a dedicated topwater frog lure engineered for fishing the nastiest, weed-choked spots where big predators hide. Its hopping, splashing action draws explosive strikes even from the thickest vegetation.

Balsa Soul, Copolymer Armor

At the heart of the BX Skitter Frog is a responsive balsa core that produces the lively, erratic jumping action predators can't resist. The tough copolymer shell protects that core, so the lure holds up through multiple strikes and repeated casts into snaggy cover without losing its shape or finish.

Virtually Weedless by Design

The upward-facing VMC® 7925 Black Nickel double hook (#2/0) is paired with a thick rubber skirt that shields the points as the lure skips through reeds, lily pads, and matted weeds. The result is a lure that reaches the strike zone reliably while keeping hang-ups to a minimum — letting you fish with confidence in the heaviest cover.

Choose the Right Variant

The BX Skitter Frog comes in two sizes and a wide range of colours. The larger size suits open-water edges of heavy cover and bigger target species; the smaller size works well in tighter situations and for a broader range of predator sizes.
