Rapala Balsa Xtreme Swimmer 12 Yellow Perch – Lifelike Action, Lightweight Lure

Product overview

Introducing the Rapala Balsa Xtreme Swimmer 12 Yellow Perch, a compact freshwater lure built for versatile casting and lively motion.

Finished in a Yellow Perch pattern, it mirrors a familiar quarry in many lakes, catching the light and drawing attention from nearby perch and other mid-sized fish.
