Here on the west coast I troll Rapala X-Rap in green mac, sardine, silver and olive green, mostly the ones that dive. Small ones around kelp or reefs, mostly bass, bonito and mackerel, large ones for Threshers and ???.

In San Diego / La Jolla the only takers I could get on X-rap Magnums were calico bass near the kelp. Any size would work, even the 30's. I was always hoping for a mako or thresher or yellowtail out in open water, but it never happened.

In Florida I get a lot of action on regular X-rap 10's and 12's. The Magnums don't get much interest for some reason.
