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

The Strike King Series 3XD is a deep-diving crankbait engineered to reach and work the bottom structure where bass hunt. This 7/16 oz lure features the signature XD series curved bill design that drives it down to 10 feet and beyond—substantially deeper and faster than conventional crankbaits. Built with premium components and a natural orange-belly craw color that mimics crawfish, it's a go-to choice for anglers targeting largemouth and smallmouth bass in deeper holes, ledges, and off-shore structure.

The XD series bill geometry isn't just a cosmetic flourish; it's the key to the bait's aggressive descent and hard hunting action. Whether you're working a 30-foot reservoir in summer heat or probing the drop-offs on a natural lake, this crankbait delivers the depth and speed you need to get in front of fish that have moved away from shallow cover. The orange-belly pattern is proven year-round, especially effective in stained or darker water where contrast matters.

Strike King equipped the Series 3XD with ultra-sharp hooks that bite on light pressure and free-floating rattle chambers that generate the hunting call bass can't ignore. Combined with the aggressive diving action, the combination of sound and flash makes this bait work even when bass are neutral. At 7/16 oz, it casts far enough to cover water efficiently and tracks true on a tight line or with a slight pause-and-rip retrieve.
