Strike King
The Strike King Series 6XD Hard Knock is a deep diving crankbait built for anglers targeting bass in lower water columns and structure. Where most deep runners max out at 12–15 feet, the 6XD's curved bill design dives 19 feet or deeper, letting you access the sweet spots other baits can't reach. The 1oz Chart Sexy Shad profile mimics a natural forage pattern that works year-round, from highland reservoirs to creek channels.
What sets the 6XD apart is the Hard Knock action and rattle system. Free-floating rattle chambers house a solid knock that produces a distinct acoustic signature underwater—something different enough to trigger bites from pressured fish that have seen standard crankbait sounds. That sonic variation, combined with the aggressive diving profile, makes it a go-to choice when you need to cover deep water efficiently and attract fish with both vibration and flash.
Whether you're fishing offshore structure, deep main-lake points, or winter impoundments where bass drop 15+ feet, the 6XD handles situations where shallow runners leave you guessing. Cast it, work it steady, or use it to probe unfamiliar water—the depth capability and sound signature do the talking for you.

The Strike King Series 6XD reaches depths of 19 feet or deeper, depending on casting distance, line weight, and retrieve speed. This depth range makes it suitable for offshore structure, deep main-lake ledges, and winter patterns where bass suspend in lower water columns.
The XD series' curved bill design allows the bait to descend faster and reach deeper maximum depths compared to traditional straight-bill cranks. This geometry is key to the 6XD's ability to quickly access and maintain contact with deep structure.
Chart Sexy Shad is a high-contrast pattern designed for visibility. It pairs natural shad coloring with chartreuse—a combination that produces well across seasons and in varying clarity levels, though color selection always depends on your specific water conditions and preference.
The Hard Knock system uses free-floating rattle chambers with a solid knock to create a distinct acoustic signature that differs from standard crankbait sounds. This unique vibration can trigger strikes from bass that have become accustomed to conventional rattle profiles.
