Strike King Series 3XD - 7/16oz 10+ Green Gizzard Shad

The Strike King Series 3XD is a deep-diving crankbait built for bass anglers who want to reach the structure where bigger fish hold. At 7/16 ounces, this lure delivers the casting weight and diving depth that separate productive days from ordinary ones. The 3XD dives 10 feet and beyond, making it your go-to choice for working deep channels, ledges, and offshore grass—the kind of water where conventional cranks fall short.

What sets the 3XD apart is its curved bill design, engineered to drop fast and dive hard rather than climb toward the surface. This distinctive geometry keeps the bait working the strike zone longer on each cast, and it reaches maximum depth quicker than traditional crankbait profiles. For anglers targeting deep structure or fishing summer holes when bass retreat to cooler water, that difference in descent rate and diving angle translates directly to more bites.

The bait is rigged with ultra-sharp hooks that cut through the moment a bass commits, and its free-floating rattle chambers generate the acoustic signature that calls fish in from a distance. Green Gizzard Shad is a proven forage match across freshwater systems, blending into the natural baitfish populations bass see year-round. This is a no-nonsense deep crankbait for serious anglers who fish deep water with intention and expect their gear to perform.
