Rapala BX Skitter Frog 5.5cm 13g Parrot UV

Rapala BX Skitter Frog 5.5 cm 13 g — Weedless Topwater Frog for Heavy Cover

The Rapala BX (Balsa Xtreme) Skitter Frog is built to go where big predators hide — deep into lily pads, grass mats, and dense vegetation — and come out the other side with a fish. At 5.5 cm and 13 g, this larger size offers extra casting distance and a more aggressive presence on the surface.

Balsa Core, Copolymer Shell — Built to Last

Under the tough copolymer exterior lies a balsa wood core that gives the BX Skitter Frog its responsive, lifelike buoyancy. This hybrid construction means you get the natural action and sensitivity of balsa with the durability to withstand strike after strike — and multiple fishing sessions — without the lure falling apart.

Jumping Frog Action Through the Thickest Cover

The BX Skitter Frog skips, hops, and kicks up water with every twitch of the rod tip, mimicking a fleeing frog convincingly enough to draw explosive surface strikes. The upward-turned VMC 7925 Black Nickel double hook (#2/0) combined with a thick rubber skirt lets you work through heavy weed cover and structure with minimal snagging, keeping the lure in the strike zone longer.
