Strike King Series 5 - 5/8oz Chartreuse Sexy Shad

The Strike King Series 5 in 5/8oz Chartreuse Sexy Shad is a versatile crankbait built for anglers who want a straightforward, effective lure that covers water quickly and digs down to where fish are holding. This medium-sized body crankbait features a 2° diving plane that keeps casts long and lets you reach depths beyond 10 feet—ideal for searching through structure on lakes and reservoirs where bass and other gamefish hunt. The Chartreuse Sexy Shad finish combines flash and visibility in a profile that triggers reaction strikes in both clear and stained water.

What sets the Series 5 apart is its balanced approach to action and sound. The medium wobble generates enough flash and disturbance to draw attention without looking unnatural, while internal free-floating rattles add acoustic attraction that pulls fish in from a distance. Whether you're working shallow cover, mid-depth structure, or deeper drop-offs, this crankbait delivers the versatility that makes it a standard in any tackle box.

Built to fish confidently across a range of conditions, the Series 5 rewards a methodical approach: cast, wind, and let the bait's inherent action and rattle do the work. It's a no-nonsense choice for anglers who understand that reliable performance beats trendy gimmicks.
