Rapala BX Minnow????

[qbert]

Anyone ever heard of the Balsa Xtreme Minnow? I saw this on my facebook page in a post from rapala. It said it had a balsa core and a plastic outer shell. The post said it won an award for best new hard lure at the European Fishing Tackle Trade Exhibition held in paris. I am only viewing this on my phone, so i cant see too well, but it looked a little like the flat rap to me. Anyone here have any knowledge about this lure??

I had heard a few rumors - this must have been what they were talking about. I did some searching - press release went out @ 3 days ago. Nothing yet on Ebay! LOL TGAT (There goes another Thousand $)!

Looks pretty cool though!

I just got an email on this yesterday from Rapala (I'm sure most of you did) regarding the new BX Minnow from ICAST 2013.

Personally I love it - to me it looks like a shallow diving Minnow Rap - and the fish in my lake love my silver Minnow Raps!
