Description

Masterfully charging into territories other crankbaits fail to reach, Strike King’s 8XD 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 8XD 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 8XD Elite is 1.4 oz. and has a diving depth of 20-feet.

Field Notes

Use this deep-diving crankbait when bass are holding offshore on ledges, points, humps, or other deeper structure. Its fast dive and erratic wobble make it a good choice for covering water and triggering reaction strikes when fish are suspended or feeding on baitfish.

Pros

  • Reaches deep water quickly
  • Balanced body helps keep it in the strike zone longer
  • Rattle chambers add sound and attraction

Cons

  • Best suited to deeper water, not shallow cover
  • Can be less effective in heavy vegetation or very shallow water
