Quick take
A 12-inch hard lure with a massive diving lip for reaching deep water on offshore trolling runs.
This floating X-Rap Magnum in Bluefin Trevally is built for anglers after tuna and mackerel offshore. Its plastic body suits trolling and casting for pelagic species. Because it floats, it fits anglers working the upper water column.
Best for
- Trolling for wahoo, kingfish and tuna at speed
- Casting in deep structure from boats
- Situations where depth and speed are needed without weight
Skip if
- You fish shallow reefs; this lure dives too deep
- You need a subtle presentation; this lure is built for aggressive feeding
Strengths
- Massive diving lip reaches 15-30 feet without additional weight
- Handles trolling at 13 knots without lip collapse
- Hard plastic body resists teeth and rough saltwater rocks
Trade-offs
- 12 inches and 2.5 oz make it difficult to cast on spinning tackle
- Deep running profile means it does not work in shallow water
- Large treble hooks can foul easily if retrieved through kelp

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
