Strike King Series 3XD - 7/16oz 10+ The Shizzle

The Strike King Series 3XD is a deep-diving crankbait built for anglers who want to reach fish holding in the 10-plus-foot zone. At 7/16 ounce, this hard bait combines a proven curved bill design with features that separate it from standard deep runners. Whether you're fishing structure-heavy lakes, river channels, or offshore depths, the 3XD is engineered to get down fast and stay in the strike zone longer—exactly what serious bass hunters need when targeting suspended or deep-dwelling fish.

What sets the 3XD apart is its aggressive diving profile. The curved bill design isn't just cosmetic; it influences how the bait tracks and penetrates the water column, letting you fish deeper zones that many conventional crankbaits can't reliably reach. Pair that with free-floating rattle chambers inside and ultra-sharp hooks, and you have a bait that not only reaches depth but triggers bites and converts them into solid hookups.

This is the kind of crankbait you rely on when other baits fall short—when you know the bite is deep and you need a bait that dives hard, stays true, and doesn't compromise on terminal tackle. The 3XD earns its place in your tackle box as a year-round deep-water option.

Frequently Asked Questions

How deep does the Strike King 3XD dive?

The 3XD is designed to dive 10 feet or deeper, making it a true deep-water crankbait suitable for reaching fish in the lower water column and off deeper structure.

What's inside the rattle chamber, and does it really make a difference?

The 3XD features a free-floating rattle chamber that generates internal sound and vibration. The rattle design helps attract fish and can trigger strikes from fish that might otherwise ignore a silent bait.

Is the 3XD good for both freshwater lakes and rivers?

The 3XD's design and depth capability make it suitable for deep-water freshwater applications where suspended or structure-holding fish are the target, including lakes and river channels.
