Rapala X-Rap Magnum 40 Deep Trolling Lure

The X-Rap Magnum 40 takes the proven X-Rap platform to offshore depths. This 7-inch trolling plug dives up to 40 feet and handles trolling speeds up to 13 knots, making it a serious tool for wahoo, tuna, king mackerel, and mahi. The translucent body with internal holographic foil maintains the X-Rap flash at depth. VMC 4X Perma Steel 5/0 treble hooks and 3X stainless split rings handle the forces of high-speed trolling and big-game strikes.

Get Your X-Rap Down to Where the Big Fish Live

Most trolling plugs top out at 15-20 feet. The X-Rap Magnum 40 doubles that. When wahoo are holding deep on structure, tuna are feeding below the thermocline, or king mackerel are sitting in a bottom contour, this lure reaches them without adding planers or downriggers to your spread.

The construction handles abuse that would destroy lighter lures. VMC 4X Perma Steel hooks resist bending under the load of a big wahoo or tuna. 3X stainless split rings hold together at high trolling speeds. The color is applied directly to the body, not as a decal, so it lasts longer than many competing deep divers.

40-Foot Diving Depth

The oversized lip drives the Magnum 40 to depths that most trolling plugs cannot reach. This opens up deep structure, ledges, and thermoclines as targets without extra weight or downriggers.

13-Knot Trolling Speed

High-speed wahoo trolling demands a lure that tracks straight and does not blow out. The Magnum 40 holds its action up to 13 knots, covering the full range of speeds used for wahoo, tuna, and kingfish.

VMC 4X Perma Steel Hooks

These are not standard treble hooks. VMC 4X Perma Steel in 5/0 size handles the shock loads of high-speed strikes and the sustained pull of big pelagic fish. The corrosion-resistant coating adds longevity in salt.

How to Troll the Rapala X-Rap Magnum 40

  1. Rig with 80-100 lb fluorocarbon leader to a heavy snap swivel
  2. Deploy from a flat line or outrigger at 100-200 feet of setback
  3. Troll at 5-13 knots depending on target species
  4. More setback and faster speeds push the lure deeper
  5. Strike drag should be set firm for immediate hookup

How deep does the X-Rap Magnum 40 actually dive? +
Up to 40 feet depending on line, speed, and setback. More line out equals deeper. See our trolling setup guide for depth tips.
What species is the Magnum 40 built for? +
Wahoo, tuna (yellowfin, blackfin, bluefin), king mackerel, mahi, and any pelagic that feeds at depth. Our wahoo guide covers deep trolling.
Can I use the Magnum 40 for slow trolling? +
It performs best at 5-13 knots. At slower speeds it will not reach its maximum depth. For slow trolling, consider the X-Rap 10 Deep instead.
How does the color hold up? +
The color is applied directly to the body, not as a decal. This makes it more durable than many competing deep divers. Rinse with fresh water after each trip. See our lure care tips.
What tackle for trolling the Magnum 40? +
30-50 lb class trolling rods with matching conventional reels. Use 30-50 lb mono or braid mainline with an 80-100 lb fluorocarbon leader. See our trolling spread guide.
