Rapala X-Rap® Magnum® Xplode 170 - Flying Fish UV

The Rapala X-Rap Magnum Xplode 170 – Flying Fish UV is a heavy-duty topwater crankbait engineered for saltwater and freshwater gamefish that demand premium tackle. Built for anglers targeting pike, musky, stripers, and large bass, this lure excels in situations where explosive surface action triggers aggressive strikes from trophy-class fish. The 170mm profile and specialized UV finish make it visible in stained water and low-light conditions, giving you a competitive edge whether you're fishing tidal flats, river systems, or expansive lakes.

Built with Rapala's proven Magnum-class strength standards, the X-Rap Magnum Xplode combines heavy through-wire construction with a thick-walled ABS body to withstand violent head shakes and repeated hard strikes without cracking or separating. The low-positioned tow point generates the signature Xplode erratic action—a combination of darting, rolling, and splashing that mimics fleeing baitfish and triggers instinctive predatory responses. UV-reflective finish enhances visibility under fluorescent light conditions and increases contrast in murky or twilight presentations, making target acquisition easier for suspended fish.

This lure suits anglers who prioritize durability and action over ultralight presentations—ideal for power-casting approaches and high-energy retrieve techniques. The Rapala X-Rap Magnum Xplode 170 performs across variable conditions, from shallow grass beds to open water, and works effectively on spinning or baitcasting equipment rated for moderate to heavy lure weights. Whether you're a tournament angler refining your topwater arsenal or an experienced boater seeking a reliable, battle-tested search bait, this Xplode model delivers consistent performance and longevity through repeated seasons of use.
