Rapala X-Rap® Magnum® 20 Purple Mackerel

The Rapala X-Rap® Magnum® 20 Purple Mackerel is a deep-diving crankbait designed for anglers targeting both saltwater gamefish and aggressive freshwater species. This lure is particularly effective for reaching deeper structures where larger predators such as stripers, pike, musky, and coastal species like mackerel and bluefish are found. Its versatility makes it suitable for both boat and shore fishing.

At 10 inches long, the Rapala X-Rap® Magnum® 20 features a profile that mimics baitfish, triggering strikes from trophy-class fish. The lure's distinctive purple mackerel color pattern enhances visibility in various water conditions, from clear lakes to stained coastal waters. Its proprietary lip design creates a tight, wobbling action that allows it to dive deep quickly while remaining castable.

This crankbait is ideal for anglers fishing lakes, reservoirs, and saltwater environments where deep-diving capabilities provide an advantage over standard-depth lures. The balanced weight distribution ensures consistent performance across varied retrieve speeds, allowing for precision and control when working deeper structures. The Magnum 20 performs best with medium to heavy casting gear, making it a must-have for serious anglers.
