# Rapala BX Swimmer

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.
