Has anyone tried trolling a Rapala Magnum or X-Rap Magnum series for YT or WSB, instead of live bait? Those color patterns seem to be pretty realistic.
I've had success with their Green/Gold Mackerel, Firetiger, and the Anchovie (Silver) pattern but have never tried using them in La Jolla, only in the bays for Bonito. |

I've never tried that color Tady 45. I have gotten away from color and am concerned more with action. As for colors a buddy of mine who worked and captained local charter boats for 15 years sticks with B/W and scrambled egg. Another long time iron thrower swears by the mint green. Most of my verteran fish killing irons have little or no paint on them, rusty hooks, and they just keep producing. Mike

I remember another similar post to the one linked above and was actually searching for that one and this popped up. Same story different person different day. I'd say it's worth a shot trolling rapalas. I also remember similar posts for white seabass caught on rapalas. I've heard of some even trolling iron but it does tend to twist your line. Rapala is the way to go usually.
