The 13cm model (62g) is ideal for clear, shallow tropical waters and reef structures where accuracy matters. The 17cm (145g) casts further, sinks slower, and handles larger predators like GT and big tuna. Both float and feature identical action, just different scales.
While built for saltwater with corrosion-resistant trebles and through-wire durability, the X-Rap Magnum Xplode can work in freshwater for large pike and bass. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use to extend hook life.
Choose baitfish patterns (Ayu, Blue Sardine) in clear water, natural colors (Dorado, Red Head) in mixed light, and UV/glow finishes (Hot Wahoo UV, Flying Fish UV) in low visibility. Pink and bright colors work well in rough seas where predators rely on vibration.
Cast near structure, reefs, or current edges and work with sharp twitches and pauses. The deep cup-face generates pops on minimal effort. Let it rest between twitches to trigger reaction strikes. The through-wire construction handles aggressive hooksets without damage.
Yes, the VMC trebles are mounted on 250 lb split rings for quick replacement. You can upgrade to different hook sizes or brands, but the 6X reinforced spec is optimal for large saltwater game. Always use corrosion-resistant (stainless or bronze) hooks in salt water.
Internal ball bearings create a loud, consistent knock during the retrieve and on pause, producing a dual-frequency sound that mimics injured baitfish. This acoustic signal travels far and triggers aggressive strikes, especially in murky water or at dawn/dusk when visual cues are limited.

Designed for tropical and saltwater gamefish, the X-Rap Magnum Xplode combines extreme durability with fearless casting distance. Its over-engineered construction and through-wire frame absorb the hardest strikes from GT (giant trevally), tuna, and other aggressive species.
The thick-walled ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) monoblock body is reinforced with a through-wire frame, giving this popper industry-leading strength for saltwater abuse. The heavy internal weight distribution keeps the lure stable even in rough seas and powerful currents.
The deep, cupped face generates a thunderous popping sound on each twitch of the rod, creating a surface disturbance that attracts predators from distance. Combined with the built-in rattling mechanism and holographic 3D eyes, every retrieve becomes a predatory trigger.
Mounted on 250 lb split rings, the 6X reinforced VMC Tropic Spark Point trebles are oversized for saltwater game and deliver 100% hook-up confidence on the strike. Available in size #2/0 (13cm) and #5/0 (17cm) configurations.
The 13cm (62g) model excels in tropical reefs and clear shallows; the 17cm (145g) version throws further and reaches larger predators. Both float at rest and come pre-rigged and ready to fish. Ten color patterns in each size provide options for light, dark, and UV conditions.
