Strike King Series 10XD - 2oz 25ft Green Gizzard Shad

The Strike King Series 10XD is a deep diving crankbait built for anglers who need to reach suspended fish and structure in the 20–25 foot range. At 2 ounces, this hard bait combines the heft needed for distance casting with a distinctive curved bill design that drives it down quickly and efficiently—a real advantage when you're fishing deeper ledges, channel breaks, or thermocline zones where conventional crankbaits run out of steam. The Green Gizzard Shad finish is a natural, proven pattern that imitates one of the most common forage fish across freshwater fisheries.

What sets the 10XD apart is its geometry: that curved bill isn't just for looks. It's engineered to let the bait achieve maximum depth faster than straight-billed designs, which means less time getting down and more time working the strike zone. That matters when you're making repeated casts or working over a specific depth band. The lure houses free-floating rattle chambers that produce vibration and noise to call fish from a distance, even in stained water or low-light conditions.

This is a crankbait for serious deep-water hunters—bass anglers targeting suspended fish on natural lakes, reservoirs, or deep river systems. It's equally at home around deep grass, fallen timber, or open-water structure where you need a bait that tracks true and dives hard on the first turn of the handle.
