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

Rapala BX Swimmer 12cm — Lifelike Rolling Action for Predators

The BX Swimmer combines a responsive balsa core with a durable copolymer shell, delivering an irresistible rolling swimbait action that triggers strikes even on the slowest retrieve.

Balsa Core Meets Copolymer Toughness

The articulated body features a double pivot joint that works with the solid balsa interior to produce a natural, rolling swim. The protective copolymer shell shields the delicate balsa while enabling incredibly detailed, lifelike finishes—including 3D molded head, gills, and scales.

Built for Long Casts and Precise Depth Control

At 22 g, the BX Swimmer is balanced for impressive casting distance. Its slow-sinking design lets you target the 1.2–1.8 m zone methodically, keeping your lure in the strike zone longer. Internal X-Foil generates strong flash on every roll, catching the attention of nearby predators.

Choose the Right Variant

The Rapala BX Swimmer 12cm 22g is available in multiple colour patterns to match local forage and water conditions:

• Perch — classic pattern for pike and zander in clear to moderately stained water

• Firetiger — high-visibility option for murky conditions or aggressive fish

• Redfin Perch — subtle variation for pressured waters

• Silver — imitates baitfish in open water

• Rainbow Trout — effective where salmonids are present as forage

• Blue Back Herring — ideal for waters with herring or shad populations
