Quick take
A magnum saltwater lipless crankbait with 30 internal rattles and aggressive tight wiggle for stripers and large game fish.
The Magnum Force is a 4-inch, 1 oz lipless crankbait with an internal rattle and a tight wiggling action. It sinks, which lets you work different depths and rip it free of vegetation. This Chartreuse Flash saltwater version suits anglers throwing bigger baits for larger fish.

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
