Quick take
A 7 in, 3-3/8 oz magnum jerkbait that dives to 40 ft and triggers reaction strikes from large saltwater species.
The X-Rap Magnum 40 is a 7-inch slashbait that dives to a fixed 40 feet, made for anglers trolling or casting for offshore and saltwater species. Its gold green mackerel finish and two No. 5/0 hooks suit tuna, wahoo, mahi and striped bass. At 3-3/8 ounces, it is built to run deep and dart through the strike zone.
Best for
- Trolling for tuna and wahoo
- Jerk-casting for stripers and large inshore fish
Skip if
- You target small fish under 5 lb
- You prefer steady-retrieve lures over jerkbaits
Strengths
- Slashing dart action triggers aggressive strikes from offshore predators
- Corrosion-resistant hardware built for saltwater use
- Size and weight allow casting into wind and deep water
Trade-offs
- At 3-3/8 oz it requires heavier tackle than inshore lures
- 40 ft depth means unsuitable for shallow-water fishing
- Jerkbait style demands active rod work; not for passive retrieves
