Its 2.5-inch, 5\/8-ounce profile is an option for covering points, ledges, creek channels, and rock piles when fish move away from the bank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse casting angle and retrieve speed to bring the bait along a contour rather than simply across it. The bill can make contact with firm bottom and deflect off structure, giving you a change in movement during a steady retrieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: 5XD.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Deep-diving crankbait.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 2.5 inches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLure weight: 5\/8 ounce.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunning-depth guide: 15 feet or more under suitable conditions; actual depth depends on line, cast length, retrieve, and setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved diving bill and wobbling action.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound: Free-floating rattle chambers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHook configuration: Treble hooks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreshwater applications for largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColors: Bone Craw, Delta Red, Black Back Chartreuse, Chartreuse Sexy Shad, Powder Blue Back Chartreuse, Chartreuse Belly Craw, Chartreuse Perch, Natural Bream, and Yellow Perch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a rod rated for the 5\/8-ounce lure and match line, reel, knots, and drag to the setup. Cast beyond the target to give the bait room to dive before reaching the structure. Treat the 15-plus-foot depth as a guide, not a fixed running depth on every cast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with a steady retrieve along a point or ledge, then change casting angles to explore the same area from another direction. Where the bottom allows it, use controlled contact with rock or firm substrate. Ease pressure when the bait meets an obstruction rather than forcing it into gaps or heavy cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMix in brief changes of speed to vary the presentation. If the bait stops tracking cleanly, check for fouled hooks or debris before continuing. Maintain steady pressure when fighting a fish on treble hooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStorage and Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspect the bill, body, line tie, hooks, and attachment hardware before use and after hard contact. Dry before storing in a compartment that limits hook tangles. If replacing hooks or hardware, match the original size and weight as closely as possible and test the action afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tom's Bait and Tackle","offers":[{"title":"Bone Craw","offer_id":50957067518171,"sku":"HC5XD-351","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Delta Red","offer_id":50957067550939,"sku":"HC5XD-450","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Back Chartreuse","offer_id":50957067583707,"sku":"HC5XD-535","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chartreuse Sexy Shad","offer_id":50957067616475,"sku":"HC5XD-538","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Powder Blue Back Chartreuse","offer_id":50957067649243,"sku":"HC5XD-561","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chartreuse Belly Craw","offer_id":50957067682011,"sku":"HC5XD-562","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Chartreuse Perch","offer_id":50957067714779,"sku":"HC5XD-650","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural Bream","offer_id":50957067747547,"sku":"HC5XD-663","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yellow Perch","offer_id":50957067780315,"sku":"HC5XD-680","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/5320\/7003\/files\/sk_5xd_chart_power_blue_561.png?v=1793160107","url":"https:\/\/www.reelfishcartel.com\/products\/strike-king-5xd-crankbait","provider":"ReelFishCartel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
