The Marlin Magic Ruckus is perhaps their most famous Marlin lure. This is the standard 12" size. Has 12" sized skirt saddles with a fairly steady taper towards the slanted nose. The reputation of the lure can be derived from its name alone - it creates a "ruckus" in the water that stir up fish like crazy while staying mostly at the surface. It has an aggressive surface action, providing a ton of smoke trailing the lure. While you can get this lure to run in rougher waters, we do not necessarily recommend this lure for the roughest of sea conditions but more in calm to moderately rough conditions.

He made his NBA debut on October 20, 2021, in a game against the San Antonio Spurs. Wagner is known for his versatility and ability to contribute on both ends of the court. He has shown promise as a solid defender and a capable scorer. At 6'9" with good athleticism, Wagner has the size and skills to play multiple positions on the court. As a young player, Wagner is still developing and has a lot of room for growth. He has the potential to become an impactful player in the NBA and contribute to the success of the Orlando Magic. With his work ethic and determination, Wagner could become a key player for the team in the future..
Reviews for "Franz Wagner's Versatility: A Key Factor for the Orlando Magic"
1. John - 1 star
Franz Wagner is a complete disappointment as a basketball player for the Orlando Magic. He lacks the necessary skills and athleticism to compete at the NBA level. His shooting is abysmal, his decision-making is questionable, and he struggles on defense. It's truly baffling how he even made it to the NBA. The Magic made a huge mistake drafting him and should have chosen a more talented player instead.
2. Lisa - 2 stars
I had high hopes for Franz Wagner when he was drafted by the Orlando Magic, but he has failed to live up to expectations. He has shown little improvement since joining the team and his performance on the court is lackluster at best. He lacks the aggression and confidence that are necessary for success in the NBA. He often seems lost on the court and doesn't contribute much to the team. I hope he can turn things around, but for now, I am thoroughly disappointed.
3. Mike - 1 star
Franz Wagner is a complete liability for the Orlando Magic. He is often a defensive liability, getting outplayed by his opponents consistently. His offensive game is nonexistent, with poor shooting and decision-making. Wagner simply doesn't have the talent or athleticism to compete at the professional level. It is clear that he was a poor choice for the Magic, and I don't see him improving enough to justify his place on the team.
4. Sarah - 2 stars
I had high hopes for Franz Wagner as a rookie player for the Orlando Magic, but he has been a major disappointment. His lack of aggression and confidence on the court are evident in his poor performance. He struggles to make an impact and doesn't seem to have a clear role within the team. Wagner's shooting is subpar, and he often makes ill-advised decisions. I hope he can make some improvements, but for now, he is falling short of expectations.
5. David - 1 star
Franz Wagner has been a complete letdown for the Orlando Magic. His lackluster performances on both ends of the court are extremely disappointing. He lacks the necessary skills and basketball IQ to contribute to the team's success. Wagner's shooting is below average, and he often disappears during games. The Magic made a big mistake drafting him, and he is proving to be a wasted roster spot. I have no faith in his ability to improve and make a meaningful impact for the team.
