The Strike King Pro Model 6XD Crankbait was designed with legendary 5-time B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year Kevin VanDam to give anglers a true deep-diving crankbait capable of reaching offshore bass holding in the 18 to 20-foot zone. After more than a year of testing and refinement, the 6XD proved itself on the tournament stage when VanDam used a prototype to produce impressive catches during the 2009 B.A.S.S. Elite Series event at Kentucky Lake. Engineered for serious deep-water bass fishing, the 6XD features a steep diving angle that quickly reaches the strike zone and maintains the aggressive wobble and hunting action needed to trigger reaction strikes. Its precisely balanced body casts exceptionally well, allowing anglers to cover more water and reach deep ledges, points, humps, and offshore structure where trophy bass often hold. Once the bait makes bottom contact, the Strike King 6XD creates an erratic deflection and wandering action that mimics fleeing forage and provokes aggressive strikes from largemouth bass. This combination of deep-diving capability, long casting distance, and proven fish-catching action has made the 6XD one of the most trusted crankbaits among tournament anglers nationwide.
