Squarebills are a staple for us because of how versatile they are.
You can run the better ones through some seriously nasty stuff all the while banging them off every manner of obstruction including rock, wood, hard bottom, soft bottom and everything in between.
While some of us not only remember but still have our favorite real wood versions (yeah, showing my age here), there are a lot of anglers whose only exposure to these little gems has been the plastic versions that have dominated the market the last few decades.
Rapala has recently combined the best of both worlds with the introduction of the BX Brat. The Brat currently comes in two sizes. The BXB-3, which comes in at 2” – 3/8 oz and the BXB-6, which is also 2” – 3/8 oz. Both employ two size 6 VMC round bend short shank trebles that are sticky sharp out of the package.
