Rapala X-Rap® Magnum Stick 17 - HD Wahoo UV

The Rapala X-Rap® Magnum Stick 17 - HD Wahoo UV is a lipless stick bait engineered for anglers targeting fast-moving pelagics and aggressive saltwater species. This 17-inch magnum profile delivers the casting distance and erratic swimming action that triggers strikes from wahoo, large stripers, pike, and other predatory fish. Whether you're running open water flats, deep channels, or around structure from a center console or bay boat, this lure excels when speed and visibility matter most.

The X-Rap® Magnum Stick achieves superior casting distance through its streamlined, weightforward design—essential when working offshore or covering expansive shallow zones. Its lipless construction allows for wide, sweeping curves during fast retrieves, generating maximum flash and vibration to call fish from distance. When you pause the retrieve, the lure dives head-down with a natural flutter fall that mimics injured baitfish. The HD Wahoo UV finish employs UV-reactive pigments that amplify visibility in bright sunlight and deeper water columns, triggering predatory response even in challenging light conditions. At 0.25 lbs, it balances mass for long-distance casting with the action profile serious saltwater anglers demand.

This magnum stick is ideal for anglers fishing coastal waters, flats, and offshore environments where trophy-class fish hunt larger forage. It performs exceptionally during high-tide pushes and fast current when aggressive, high-speed retrieves produce best results. The 10-inch overall length and robust construction make it compatible with heavy-duty saltwater rods rated for 15–30 lb class and above. Pair it with braided mainline for direct control and maximum sensitivity in detecting strikes from hard-fighting pelagics. Whether you're a professional guide, competitive tournament angler, or experienced saltwater enthusiast, the Rapala X-Rap® Magnum Stick 17 delivers proven, repeatable results for trophy hunts.
