The Strike King Series 5XD is a deep diving crankbait built for anglers who want to reach bass and other gamefish holding in the lower water column. At 5/8 ounce, this hard bait combines a distinctive curved bill design with a free-floating rattle system that lets you work structure, ledges, and offshore targets most crankbaits can't touch. The pearl black body with chartreuse belly offers high visibility in stained water while maintaining a natural profile in clearer conditions—a color combo that triggers reaction strikes across a wide range of conditions.

What sets the 5XD apart from generic deep divers is its engineering. The unique curved bill geometry doesn't just look different; it fundamentally changes how the bait dives and moves through the water column. You get faster descent and deeper running depths without sacrificing the erratic wobble that draws strikes. The free-floating internal rattles produce varying sound frequencies as the bait moves, creating an acoustic signature that attracts fish from a distance and holds their attention as they close in.

This is a workhorse crankbait for serious bass anglers who fish deep water—offshore structure, 12-plus foot depths, and situations where the majority of the forage has moved to deeper zones. It's equally at home on a standard or dedicated crankbait rod in your tournament arsenal or as a go-to deep-water tool for weekend fishing. The 5/8 ounce weight casts enough distance to cover water efficiently, and the aggressive running depth means you're fishing where the fish actually are, not wasting casts in the upper water column.
