Quick take

A 5.5-inch deep-diving crankbait with a large lip designed for offshore trolling and casting to saltwater pelagics like tuna and wahoo.

This is the 20-foot model of the X-Rap Magnum, a 5.5 inch floating minnow bait with a long diving lip. It is built for trolling for big saltwater species like tuna and other offshore pelagics. At 1.6 oz in a bright chartreuse pattern, it suits anglers who want a large profile that reaches deep water.

Best for

  • Trolling for big game fish offshore
  • Casting near structure in saltwater
  • Reaching depths beyond 15 feet on the retrieve

Skip if

  • You fish freshwater or shallow water
  • You need a lure that floats or stays shallow

Strengths

  • Large diving lip reaches depth quickly without tuning
  • Rapala crankbait action works out of the box
  • Durable construction handles saltwater conditions

Trade-offs

  • Large lip and weight make casting difficult in wind
  • Deep diving requires faster retrieves to maintain depth
  • Best used from boats where trolling is practical

When and where to fish it

Its bright, high-visibility pattern suits stained and muddy water under an overcast sky or in low light. Crankbaits are often fished in spring and fall, when fish are feeding on baitfish.

How to fish it

A crankbait with a long lip needs a long cast to get down, so it is fished by deep cranking. This floating crankbait rises when you stop reeling, which makes a stop-and-go retrieve work.

Deep cranking

  1. Make the longest cast you can; a deep diver needs distance to get down.
  2. Hold the rod tip low and reel steadily until you feel the bottom.
  3. Keep the lure grinding along the bottom and pause when it deflects off rock.

Stop and go

  1. Crank the lure down with several fast turns.
  2. Stop for a second and let the lure rise slowly.
  3. Repeat all the way back to the bank or boat.

Steady cranking

  1. Cast past the target and point the rod tip down toward the water.
  2. Reel at a steady medium pace until the lure reaches its depth.
  3. Keep it ticking the bottom or the cover, and pause when it deflects.

What it imitates

Its bright pattern imitates shad and, in stained water, bluegill.

About this type

A crankbait is a hard-bodied lure that wobbles on a steady retrieve; most have a lip that sets how deep they run.

On a lipped bait, a bigger or steeper lip usually sends it deeper.

Most lipped crankbaits float at rest and dive when reeled, so a pause lets the lure back up and away from a snag.

Compared with Jerkbaits: A jerkbait is worked with twitches and pauses and often suspends or floats; a crankbait is reeled.
