Rapala BX Swimmer 12cm 1.2–1.8m 22g Firetiger

Rapala BX Swimmer 12cm Firetiger – Lifelike Rolling Action for Predators

This articulated swimbait combines a responsive balsa core with a tough copolymer shell, delivering an irresistible rolling action that triggers strikes even on the slowest retrieve.

Balsa Core Meets Durable Shell

The solid balsa heart ensures immediate responsiveness and a natural swimming motion, while the hard copolymer outer layer protects against toothy predators and hard structure. Internal X-Foil amplifies flash on every roll, drawing attention from a distance.

Slow Sinking & Long Casting

Weighted for a controlled slow sink, the BX Swimmer lets you target fish at depths of 1.2–1.8 m with precision. Its balanced design achieves impressive casting distances, helping you cover more water effectively.
