Rapala BX Brat 5cm 0.9m 10g Hot Dang

Rapala BX Brat 5 cm – Shallow Crankbait Built for Predator Fishing

The Rapala BX Brat is a compact, hard-working crankbait (shallow-running plug) designed for active predator fishing in rivers and lakes. At just 5 cm and 10 g, the Hot Dang colour is a standout choice when fish are keying on baitfish near the surface.

Balsa Heart, Tough Shell

The BX Brat is built on a balsa wood core wrapped in a copolymer outer shell, combining the natural, buoyant action balsa is famous for with the durability needed for repeated casts and knocks against structure. The result is an exceptionally lively roll and flash that triggers reaction strikes from cautious predators.

Hard Rolling Action at Shallow Depth

With a running depth of just 0.9 m, this crankbait is ideal for working shallow flats, river margins, and areas with submerged weed edges. The hard rolling, high-flash swimming action paired with its wild tracking and kick-out behaviour gives the bait an erratic, unpredictable movement that perch and pike-perch (zander) find hard to ignore.

Choose the Right Variant

The BX Brat family covers two running depths and several colour options, so you can match conditions precisely.
