Rapala X-Rap® Magnum® Xplode 130 - Mullet

The Rapala X-Rap® Magnum® Xplode 130 in Mullet is a premium saltwater and freshwater lure engineered for anglers targeting large, aggressive predators in open water and around structure. This 130mm crankbait delivers the casting distance and durability demanded by serious boaters and tournament fishermen who need a lure capable of withstanding vicious strikes from pike, musky, stripers, and large bass. Built for performance in demanding conditions, it combines traditional Rapala innovation with modern through-wire construction that prioritizes strength and reliability.

At the core of this lure's effectiveness is its heavy through-wire construction paired with a thick-walled ABS body that resists deformation and damage from powerful fish. The low-positioned tow point provides a stable dive angle and erratic, wounded-baitfish action that triggers strikes from competitive fish. The mullet pattern offers realistic coloration that matches natural forage in both saltwater and freshwater environments, while the Magnum-grade build quality ensures this lure absorbs repeated punishment without compromising performance. Weighing just 0.2 lbs and measuring 8 inches, the X-Rap® Magnum® Xplode 130 achieves excellent casting distance while maintaining the subsurface action that distinguishes premium crankbaits from budget alternatives.

This lure is ideal for boaters working open-water structure, ledges, and deep flats where trophy-class fish hunt baitfish schools. It performs best on 15–30 lb test line and works effectively on medium to heavy casting rods that can control its diving depth and retrieve speed. The X-Rap® Magnum® Xplode 130 suits anglers using both conventional and modern tackle systems, making it a versatile addition to any serious saltwater or pike-fishing arsenal. Whether you're working coastal channels or reservoirs, this crankbait delivers the combination of durability, castability, and action that professional anglers depend on.
