Rapala X-Rap Magnum Xplode 170 — Durable Topwater Lure for Freshwater & Saltwater

Explosive topwater action, built for rugged angling

The X-Rap Magnum Xplode 170 from Rapala blends durable construction with a dominant topwater profile. A thick-walled ABS body paired with through-wire construction stands up to aggressive strikes, while long casting and a rear-weighted design help the lure rest in an ideal position between retrieves. This combination supports versatile use across both freshwater and saltwater environments, making it a dependable option for anglers chasing big surface targets.

What makes it stand out on the water

Designed to grab attention at the surface, the deep-cupped face delivers a monumental splash with each sweep or twitch. The lure’s surface drama is enhanced by a 3D holographic eye and internal flash foil that catch and refract light, helping the lure stay visible in varying water conditions. A low-position line tie subtly pulls the lure downward during retrieves, intensifying the surface wake without sacrificing control.

• Deep-cupped lip creates a pronounced surface explosion that can entice eager strikes.
• 3D holographic eye and internal flash foil boost surface visibility and appeal.
• Low-position line tie helps maintain an aggressive water-emitting profile during action.

Rugged hardware for tough environments

Equipped with heavy-duty hooks and split rings, the Xplode 170 is built to endure demanding fishing sessions. The through-wire construction and thick ABS body contribute to lasting durability, while the big-game-ready design is suitable for a wide range of predatory species across salt and freshwater.

• Extreme-duty VMC 75 Series hooks provide strong hooking power and reliability.

Whether you’re shadowing shallow flats, fishing weed beds, or patrolling open water, the X-Rap Magnum Xplode 170 offers a robust surface lure experience with the potential for aggressive, surface-target strikes. While results vary by conditions, the combination of loud surface action and enhanced visibility makes it a compelling choice for anglers seeking reliable topwater performance without compromising durability.
