Strike King Pro Model Crankbait — Features & specifications
Strike King’s Pro Model Crankbait is a deep-diving crankbait designed to reach deep water quickly after a long cast, thanks to the XD series’ distinctive curved lip and diving posture. The body features flat surfaces that create strong underwater vibrations, while the realistic finish is completed with 3D eyes. The Pro Model Crankbait series offers different diving ranges: the HC5XD reaches approximately 15 feet, while the HC6XD dives to more than 19 feet. The HC6XD weighs 1 ounce, making it well suited for efficiently covering deep water.
The basic technique is to cast far enough to reach the desired depth, then retrieve at a steady speed while allowing the lip to contact the bottom and cover. In addition to the standard models, the HC5XD and HC6XD are also available in silent versions. The Pro Model Crankbait Silent HC6XD features a quiet presentation without internal rattles. While retaining the XD series’ action and diving performance, the silent model is suited to situations where reduced sound is preferred. Standard models are also available with floating rattles, allowing anglers to choose the type of attraction according to the model and configuration.
