Strike King Series 3 - 3/8oz Fire Tiger

The Strike King Series 3 in 3/8oz Fire Tiger is a compact diving crankbait built to deliver distance and depth on every cast. This small-bodied design cuts through the air cleanly, letting you reach deep-water structure and suspended bass where they're holding. At 8 feet, the Series 3 reaches the zone where bigger fish often hang—especially valuable when shallow cover isn't producing or when you need to target cooler water in summer.

Fire Tiger is a time-tested pattern that combines high visibility with natural aggression triggers. The contrast of red, orange, and black catches fish in tannic water, stained conditions, and low-light periods. Whether you're working creek channels, offshore humps, or deep ledges, this pattern has proven itself across tournaments and hard-fished waters.

The compact profile and 3/8oz weight strike a practical balance: light enough to cast accurately on standard spinning or baitcasting gear, yet heavy enough to achieve that 8-foot dive without overshooting your target. This is workhorse crankbait territory—the kind of lure that fills boxes and catches fish consistently across seasons and regions.
