Rapala BX Skitter Frog 5.5cm 13g Pale Bone

Rapala BX Skitter Frog 5.5 cm 13 g – Pale Bone — Punches Through Heavy Cover

The BX (Balsa Xtreme) Skitter Frog is built to land where big predators hide — deep in lily pads, hydrilla mats, and dense weed beds — then trigger reaction strikes with its explosive, splashing jump action.

Balsa Core, Armoured Shell

Under its tough copolymer outer shell sits a responsive balsa wood core. That combination gives the lure the buoyancy and lifelike bounce of a traditional balsa bait while adding the durability needed to survive repeated strikes and snags in brutal cover.

Near-Weedless Design for Thick Vegetation

The upward-turned VMC 7925 Black Nickel double hook (#2/0) rides tight against the body, and a thick rubber skirt shields the point as the lure crawls over pads and pushes through reeds. Hang-ups are rare — clean hooksets are not.

Choose the Right Variant

The BX Skitter Frog is available in two body sizes and a range of colours. Match the size to your target species and cover density, and pick your colour to suit light and water conditions.
