Rapala BX Minnow Crankbait 7cm 7g 0.6–1.2m Blue Back Herring

Rapala BX Minnow — Precision Crankbait That Swims True from the First Turn of the Reel

The Rapala BX (Balsa Xtreme) Minnow combines the legendary swimming action of balsa with the casting power and durability of a hard-shell body. At 7 cm and 7 g, it cuts through the air for long, accurate casts and dives into the 0.6–1.2 m strike zone with minimal effort on the retrieve.

Effortless Action at Any Retrieve Speed

One of the standout qualities of the BX Minnow is how little it demands from the angler. Even a slow, gentle pull is enough to set the lure rolling with a tight, convincing wobble. That low-resistance swimming action makes it equally effective for finesse presentations on pressured water and steady medium-speed retrieves over flats or along weed edges.

Built for Distance Without Sacrificing Feel

The reinforced hard-shell body gives the BX Minnow excellent weight distribution, allowing it to load cleanly and fly far on both spinning and baitcasting gear. Once in the water, the shell transmits vibration straight back through the line, so you stay connected to the lure's action and can detect even tentative takes.

Choose the Right Variant

All BX Minnow 7 cm / 7 g variants share the same 0.6–1.2 m running depth and size-6 hooks. Colour is the key differentiator — match it to water clarity, light conditions, and target species.

• Blue Back Herring (BBH) — current variant; high-contrast silver-and-blue baitfish silhouette, versatile choice for pike, perch, and zander in clear to slightly coloured water

• Ayu — soft, natural ayu finish; works well for trout and perch in clear rivers and lakes

• Hot Head — bright accent head with natural body; stands out in low light or stained water, effective for pike and perch

• Redfin Perch — detailed perch pattern; a go-to when fish are keyed on perch fry, great for pike and larger perch

• Rainbow Trout — realistic trout colouring; ideal for pike fishing on trout-stocked waters
