X-80MAGNUM builds on the legendary X-80 with a longer shiner-style body and a strongly bait-like action. It pushes more water than most slim minnows over 100 mm, giving a clear "stimulating wave" that stands out in current and choppy conditions. This makes it a solid choice when large sea bass are feeding on bigger baitfish over open shallows, estuaries or harbour mouths.
The body roll and flash stay tight and stable even on faster retrieves, so it works well for covering water or searching along tide lines. Three small-diameter tungsten weights shift together during the cast, loading the lure for long, accurate throws without sacrificing a clean swimming posture on the retrieve. Tie it on when the fish want a bigger profile that still feels natural, and when distance and control really matter.
