Strike King

The Strike King Pro Model 6XD Crankbait was developed and evaluated for one year alongside 5-time BASS Angler-of-the-Year, Kevin VanDam. This crank bait is a must-have and is a constant fixture in our gear. We recommend using 10lb flourocarbon line to achieve greater depths. Keep a lure retriever handy in case of any snags with lighter line. Keep in mind that each body of water and type of cover may require heavier line.

We also like to use an egg snap on the bait, it allows it more action and you can swap out the color or bait if you need to. Decoy makes a great snap that is easy to get on and off but is strong enough for big fish.  

Before Van Dam had unveiled a prototype and used it to produce some substantial weights in route to his 2nd place finish in the 2009 BASS Elite Series event at Kentucky Lake.

In order to attack those big ledge fish, KVD wanted to make sure this new bait would not only reach 18-20-foot depths, but that it had the right wobble and shimmy once it got there to attract the bass and entice them to bite. Well balanced, it casts like a bullet and has a super-steep dive angle to reach the strike zone quickly.

VanDam said he easily got this bait down to 18 to 19-feet on every cast, and it was the erratic action once it hit the bottom and then began to wander off that triggered the bass to bite.

Designed to dive 4-5ft deeper than the standard Series 5, the Strike King Pro Model 5XD Crankbait features a newly designed bill that allows it to get down to depths of 15ft. BASS Elite Series pro, Kevin Van Dam, helped significantly with testing and refining the 5XD, and it also ended up being one of the main baits he used to come from behind in the final Post Season events at Lake Jordan and the Alabama River - and claim the 2010 Bassmaster Angler of Year title.  Available in multiple colors, the Strike King Pro Model 5XD Crankbait delivers another proven way to target those deep fish.

Utilizing a cobra shaped head, the Denny Brauer Structure Jig is the ultimate choice for any structure fishing with a jig. Designed by renowned jig fisherman, Denny Brauer, Strike King's Structure Jig seeks to increase hookups while simultaneously decreasing hangups. Each element of this jig was painstakingly tweaked until they all worked in harmony and met Brauer's demands.

Constructed around a special zero degree line tie Owner 2x Strong Cutting Point Hook, this jig presents optimal bite delivering the hook penetration necessary when fishing in and around structure. The unique positioning of the cobra head places less material between the hook point and line tie - which follows the theme of better hook-up ratio by keeping the plane of the hookset clear of obstructions. When it came to reducing hangups, Strike King found the cobra shaped head to be much more effective at freeing itself from snags - sort of acting like a counter weight against the snag. Increased weedlessness can also be attributed to the Structure Jig's weedguard angle that Brauer developed based on years of cutting down and tweaking his stock jigs guards the way he preferred.
