Rapala Balsa Xtreme Brat 06 Tamale – Freshwater Lure, 2 inch Length, 6 ft Depth, 3/8 oz (BXB06TAM)

Overview

Rapala's Balsa Xtreme Brat 06 Tamale is a compact freshwater hard bait designed for precise casting and lively underwater action. The Tamale hue pairs with a buoyant balsa body to create a natural profile that catches attention near structure, weed edges, and drop-offs. At 2 inches long and 3/8 ounce, this lure offers a balanced feel in hand and in the water, making it a versatile addition to light-to-medium tackle setups.

Shade and silhouette matter when fishing in clear water or transitioning between cover and open water. The Balsa Xtreme Brat's slim profile helps it dart with a convincing wobble, while the Tamale color pattern provides visible cues in sunlit or shaded conditions. When retrieved, anglers often notice a subtle yet inviting kick that can draw strikes from a variety of freshwater species.
