Quick take

A large diving lure that sinks to 30 feet with aggressive darting action for offshore predators.

The X-Rap Magnum 30 is a 6-1/4 inch, 2-1/2 oz diving jerkbait built for trolling offshore saltwater. Its big lip takes it down to about 30 feet, and it can be pulled at speeds up to around 13 knots. Two 4/0 hooks suit it to tuna, wahoo, mahi and striped bass.

Best for

  • Trolling fast for big saltwater gamefish
  • Tuna and wahoo fishing
  • Deep-diving presentations in offshore water

Skip if

  • You fish shallower water
  • You need a slow-sinking or floating lure

Strengths

  • Dives to 30 feet on its own, no weight needed
  • Aggressive slash-bait action triggers reaction strikes
  • Saltwater-ready corrosion-resistant hardware

Trade-offs

  • Large size and weight makes it tiring to cast
  • Designed for trolling more than casting
