Overview

Meet the Rapala Balsa Xtreme Brat, a compact yet rugged square bill built to handle tough bites in freshwater.

Why anglers reach for the BX Brat

The BX Brat features a refined flat side and a V‑cut belly, engineered to deliver erratic tracking and deliberate kick outs. The combination is enhanced by a hard flash that adds visual appeal as the lure darts and weaves through water. The lure runs to a depth of about six feet and weighs 3/8 oz, making it versatile enough for casting around structure or along weed edges.
