Strike King Series 3XD - 7/16oz 10+ DB Craw

The Strike King Series 3XD deep diving crankbait in 7/16oz crawfish pattern is built for anglers who need to reach bass holding in the deeper zones where shallow runners can't compete. Strike King engineered the XD series with a distinctly curved bill that powers the lure down faster and deeper than conventional crankbait designs—a difference you'll notice on the cast and feel through the retrieve. At 10+ feet of diving depth, this bait reaches structure most competitors simply can't access, making it a go-to choice for reservoir fishing, offshore ledges, and deep brush piles where trophy bass stage during midday heat.

The crawfish colorway matches forage found in most bass fisheries, triggering strikes from fish keyed on crustaceans. Sharp, ready-to-fish hooks come standard, so you'll be rigged and ready straight from the package. A free-floating rattle chamber inside produces the acoustic signal that draws fish in—audible enough to work murky water or low-light conditions without sounding artificial to pressured bass.

Whether you're fishing TVA lakes, deep impoundments, or anywhere structure sits well below the surface, the 3XD earned its reputation as a workhorse deep diver. The 7/16oz size balances castability with the weight needed to power through the water column and maintain contact with bottom contours on the drop and retrieve.

Frequently Asked Questions

How deep does the Strike King 3XD actually dive?

The 3XD reaches depths of 10 feet and beyond, depending on line diameter, casting distance, and retrieve speed. The curved bill design allows it to power down faster than traditional crankbaits of similar weight.

What's the crawfish pattern good for?

Crawfish patterns match the natural forage bass feed on in most freshwater lakes and reservoirs. The DB Craw colorway is effective year-round and works particularly well when bass are actively hunting bottom-dwelling crustaceans.

Are the hooks sharp and ready to use?

Yes—the 3XD comes rigged with sharp hooks. You can tie it on and fish immediately without replacement.

Is this crankbait best for lakes or rivers?

The deep diving design makes it well-suited for lakes and reservoirs where you need to reach suspended fish or bottom structure. It's most effective in water where you can maintain contact with the lure during a steady retrieve.
