Strike King
The Strike King Series 5 crankbait in 5/8oz Tennessee Shad is a go-to choice for anglers targeting bass in moderate depths. Built with a balanced medium body and moderate wobble action, this lure delivers natural-looking movement that triggers strikes without requiring constant heavy casting. The shallow-to-medium diving profile—reaching depths of 10 feet and beyond—makes it versatile enough for both structure-hunting and open-water applications where you need coverage without pushing the absolute limits of deep-water performance.
What sets the Series 5 apart is its shallow 2-degree diving plane, which keeps your lure working efficiently even on longer casts. This geometry reduces drag and fatigue, letting you fish longer while covering more water. Free-floating internal rattles provide natural sound cues that help fish locate the lure in stained water or low-light conditions, without the aggressive commotion that can spook fish in gin-clear lakes.
Whether you're working woody cover, creek channels, or the transition zones between shallow flats and deeper structure, this Tennessee Shad profile mimics a forage staple in most freshwater systems. The 5/8oz weight strikes a practical balance—heavy enough to cast distance without excessive effort, light enough to maintain that natural wobble and buoyancy that makes crankbaits effective.
| Brand | Strike King |
| Product Type | Diving Crankbait |
| Weight | 5/8 oz |
| Color | Tennessee Shad |
| Diving Depth | 10 feet and deeper |
| Wobble Action | Medium |
| Diving Plane Angle | 2 degrees |
| Buoyancy | Medium |
| Rattle Type | Free-floating internal rattles |
The Series 5 delivers medium wobble and medium buoyancy with a 2-degree diving plane—an efficient, all-purpose profile that balances casting distance with natural bait imitation. The shallow dive angle makes it effective on longer casts while keeping it in the optimal feeding zone for many freshwater species.
The Series 5 dives to 10 feet and beyond. Your actual diving depth will vary based on line weight, retrieve speed, and how long you let it run—heavier line and faster retrieves tend to keep it shallower, while lighter line and steady retrieves allow deeper penetration.
Tennessee Shad is a proven natural baitfish pattern across most freshwater systems where shad or shad-like baitfish are present. Its effectiveness depends on local forage. If shad, herring, or similar baitfish are part of the diet in your water, this pattern should produce.
The Series 5 is equipped with free-floating internal rattles from the factory—no assembly or attachment needed. They provide built-in sound attraction during your retrieve.
