RAPALA BALSA XTREME MID BRAT 05 HOMER'S BUDDY

The Rapala Balsa Xtreme Mid Brat 05 in Homer’s Buddy color is a tough, high-action crankbait designed for bass anglers who need durability and performance in mid-depth waters. Featuring a balsa wood core encased in a protective copolymer shell, this crankbait offers the lifelike swimming action of balsa while withstanding hits from aggressive fish and impacts with rocks or submerged cover. Its semi-flat sides and “V” cut belly produce a bold flash and unpredictable, erratic movement that draws in fish. With a diving depth of up to 5 feet, the BX Mid Brat is ideal for fishing near structure. Outfitted with sharp VMC black-nickel treble hooks, the BX Mid Brat 05 Homer’s Buddy is built to secure hooksets and handle big strikes.
