It is the premier bibbed lure of this type that others seek to imitate. It is built super strongly and designed to handle the toughest fish
The Rapala CD Magnum can be trolled at quite high speed without rising to the surface. It looks incredibly life-like in the water. They are available in 15 colours. Try to select a size and colour that best represents the baitfish in your fishing area.
Colours: Chartreuse Redhead, Chartreuse head, Blue head, Silver, Fire Tiger (yellow and green), Red Head, Bonito, Pearl orange, Green mackerel, Silver mackerel, Blue sardine, Green sardine, Deep purple sardine, Red sardine, Dorado.
Ideal for trolling for yellowtail kingfish, albacore, slender and bluefin tuna, mako and thresher shark, kahawai, and others. The smaller sizes are great for casting to surface fish as well. Should the bib become bent during a fight with a big fish you can simply bend it back into shape with pliers to getting it running true again.
