Strike King Pro Model 6XD Crankbaits - $5.69

Please Note: Actual colors may vary slightly from images shown.

The Strike King Series 6 XD Crankbait was designed and tested for over a year with 5-time BASS Angler-of-the-Year, Kevin VanDam before he unveiled a prototype and used it to produce some substantial weights in route to his 2nd place finish in the 2009 BASS Elite Series event at Kentucky Lake. In order to attack those big ledge fish, KVD wanted to make sure this new bait would not only reach 18-20-foot depths, but that it had the right wobble and shimmy once it got there to attract the bass and entice them to bite. Well balanced, it casts like a bullet and has a super-steep dive angle to reach the strike zone quickly. VanDam said he easily got this bait down to 18 to 19-feet on every cast, and it was the erratic action once it hit the bottom and then began to wander off that triggered the bass to bite.

" ... during the tournament days, I caught about 90-percent of the bass I weighed-in on the Series 6 XD." - Kevin VanDam on his 2nd place finish at the 2009 BASS Elite Series event at Kentucky Lake.

Comments: I received two of these for Christmas and a few days later I was using them on Falcon Lake in Texas. I caught a 13.36 lb largemouth(turned into the Texas Share Lunker program), an 8 pounder a few casts later, and two six pounders on this crank bait in just a few hours on 12/28/11. My 5 best fish went for 38 lbs. I lost a few others that would of put me over 40 lbs easy. We tried other crank baits but only little fish would hit them, while these cranks caught everything. Thanks Dustin for the Christmas gift!

Comments: All other Strike King crankbaits I have bought have been terrible, action sucks,not running straight,etc. SO I was scepticle about buying the XD series I am very pleased that I did t. These baits run very well out of the package and have decent hooks on them. These are by far the best lure Strike King has put out besides the red eye shad.

Comments: These are by far my favorite deep diving crankbaits. I always replace the stock hooks with Gamakatsu's, but I have caught lots of good fish and many big fish during the summer fishing super deep humps, drops and ledges here in Kalamazoo and all the way down to Dale Hollow Lake in Tennessee. Largemouths on Barren River Lake, KY gobble these up!! Excellent bait, also check out 5XD, 3XD and KVD 1.0 for next year.

Comments: Bait swims excellently right out of the package.  Hooks arent the best, but thats an easy exchange.  Good color options, run deep, and are priced right.  Good luck!

Comments: For the money cant beat it and it produces big time, its up there with DD 22's, XD runs a little deeper.

Comments:I threw this crankbait all day today with the stock hooks. I caught several fish including an 11 pounder. The paint stayed and the eyes were intact. One hook did bend on the 11 pounder. All I can say is wow. I will be buying some more.

Comments:Religiously used DD22s and Hot Lips and was never a big fan of SK's crankbaits, but the 6xd's are a completely different story. These are the best deep divers (affordable ones anyway) I've used and my ownly gripe are the hooks but I replace all my crank hooks with Owner Stingers anyway.

From:Allen: Pennsylvania, USA

Comments:These crankbaits have great action, but are cheaply made. Expect the eyes to fall off and the hooks to be cheap - as it is with all other strike king crankbaits. The Fat Free shads and DD22's are made with higher quality.
