Rapala BX Minnow BXM10 — Flat-Sided Flash That Triggers Predators at Any Pace

The Rapala BX Minnow (BXM10) delivers an irresistible action on slow retrieves and light twitches alike — making it a reliable tool for targeting pike, perch, and other predators across a wide range of conditions.

Flash-On-Roll Action That Stands Out

The flat-sided body design produces a distinctive, side-to-side rolling flash that mimics a fleeing baitfish with exceptional realism. Even at low retrieve speeds, the BXM10 generates the kind of erratic, light-catching movement that triggers reaction strikes from predators holding tight to structure or following without committing.

Balsa Heart, Tough Shell — Built for Accuracy and Durability

At its core, the BXM10 combines a buoyant balsa core with a robust copolymer shell, giving it the lifelike swimming behaviour balsa is known for while standing up to the abuse of repeated pike strikes and rocky terrain. Holographic 3D eyes, a detailed 3D head with gill and scale detailing, and black nickel treble hooks (size 4) complete a lure that looks as good as it fishes.

Choose the Right Variant

The BX Minnow range covers two body sizes and a broad colour palette — match your choice to local forage, water clarity, and target species:

• Rapala BX Minnow BXM10 10cm 12g, running depth 0.9–1.5m — ideal for pike, large perch, and zander in medium depths; productive in open water and around weed edges

• Smelt — natural translucent finish; excellent in clear water and wherever smelt are present as prey

• Silver — high-visibility flash; versatile choice in low light or slightly coloured water

• Hot Head — bold attractor colour; useful when fish are active and water is coloured

• Rainbow Trout — natural baitfish pattern; good for waters where trout are forage

• Blue Back Herring — dark back/bright flank contrast; effective on overcast days and in deeper or tinted water

• Ayu — subtle natural tone; suited to clear, pressured waters

• FT (Firetiger) — high-contrast attractor; a go-to when visibility is low or fish need provoking

• Rapala BX Minnow BXM07 7cm 7g, running depth 0.6–1.2m — shallower running, lighter option for perch, trout, chub, and smaller predators; also useful when larger fish are being selective
