Strike King Series 3XD - 7/16oz 10+ Black Back Chartreuse

The Strike King Series 3XD crankbait is a deep-diving hard bait engineered to reach and stay in the strike zone where bigger fish live. At 7/16 ounce, this lure features the signature curved bill design that lets it drive down to 10 feet or deeper—a critical advantage when you're targeting fish suspended below the thermocline or holding tight to channel ledges. The Black Back Chartreuse color scheme combines a dark silhouette against light undersides, mimicking natural baitfish profiles in both stained and clear water.

What sets the 3XD apart from standard deep-running crankbaits is its combination of aggressive diving geometry and internal construction. The free-floating rattle chambers create a high-frequency sound signature that calls fish from distance, while the sharp hooks ensure solid hooksets when bass, pike, or walleye commit. This is the crankbait to reach for when you need to fish deep structure—offshore humps, deep grass beds, and rocky bottoms where conventional shallow-runners simply can't compete.

Whether you're fishing reservoirs, natural lakes, or rivers with significant depth variation, the 3XD rewards anglers who understand how lure selection changes with water depth and cover type. It's a no-compromise choice for serious crankbait fishermen who refuse to leave deep-water bite opportunities on the table.
