Rapala BX Swimmer 12cm 1.2–1.8m 22g Rainbow Trout

Rapala BX Swimmer 12cm Rainbow Trout – Lifelike Rolling Action for Predators

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

Authentic Swimming Motion from the First Crank

The flat-sided body and double pivot joint create a natural rolling swimbait action that starts immediately—even at minimal speeds. Internal X-Foil technology produces intense flash on every roll, mimicking a wounded baitfish and drawing predators from a distance.

Built to Last, Tuned for Performance

The tough copolymer exterior protects the sensitive balsa core while enabling highly detailed, lifelike finishes. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested, ensuring consistent performance. Two VMC Black Nickel round bend hooks (#3) provide reliable hooksets.
