Description

Masterfully charging into territories other crankbaits fail to reach, Strike King’s 5XD Elite Crankbait dives deeper and moves faster to accomplish the right wobble and erratic action necessary to entice forceful bites from the depths. This extremely well-balanced crankbait has a unique curved bill to help reach its target depths faster and keep it in the target zone longer on each retrieve, along with ultra-sharp, premium hooks for secure hook ups. The 5XD Elite dons exceptional paint jobs with hand-chosen colors on the exterior and features free-floating rattle chambers within to emit varying sound frequencies to attract attention from curious bass. The 5XD Elite is 5/8 oz. and has a diving depth of 15-feet.
