Rapala BX Swimmer 12cm 1.2–1.8m 22g S

Rapala BX Swimmer 12cm S – Rolling Swimbait Action from a Responsive Balsa Core

The BX Swimmer combines a solid balsa body with a tough copolymer shell and a double-pivot joint, delivering a lifelike rolling action even at the slowest retrieves.

Starts Moving at Minimal Speed

Thanks to the responsive balsa core and articulated design, the BX Swimmer produces an enticing swimming motion the moment you begin your retrieve. This makes it highly effective when predators are sluggish or holding in cooler water.

Built to Last, Designed to Flash

The durable copolymer outer shell shields the delicate balsa while enabling incredibly detailed, lifelike finishes. Flat sides and internal X-Foil generate strong flashes on every roll, grabbing attention from a distance.
