Rapala BX Swimmer 12cm 22g SS

The flat-sided BX Swimmer features an articulated body with a double pivot joint which in combination with the responsive, solid balsa core creates a rolling, moderate swim bait action that starts on a very slow retrieve. The durable co-polymer hard shell protects the delicate balsa and allows highly detailed, life-like finishes. The BX Swimmer is weighted to be slow sinking and balanced for long casts.

How To Fish

Combining balsa and plastic on a two-piece lure generates a unique rolling, moderate swim bait action that is super responsive, requiring only the smallest amount of movement in order to give sufficient life to the lure. The body is balanced for long casts, and the lure is weighted for a slow-sink on pause.

The double pivot joint keeps the body parts in line on the pause, thus keeping a natural baitfish profile when the lure slowly sinks and making the BX Minnow an ideal lure for stop and go presentations.

Fish your BX Swimmer with a variety of retrieve speeds and twitches in order to imitate a stressed or dying baitfish. The plastic body with the partial internal metallic foil finish exerts subtle amounts of flash that just might catch the eye of waiting predators.

About BX Series

Combining the unmatched responsiveness of balsa with rugged durability of plastic, the Balsa Xtreme opens a new era in fi shing lures.

The new, patent pending BX construction uses a tough, transparent plastic shell to encapsulate a balsa wood inner body. The perfectly balanced balsa core with precision placed weights gives the lure a lively, super responsive action that can be achieved only with balsa.

The tough copolymer outer shell allows ultimate toughness and life-like fi nishes with 3D scales, lateral line and gill plates with a combination of metallic, translucent and painted fi nishes unlike anything seen on balsa lures before.

Truly the ultimate combination.
