Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King 3XD, 2/5oz Sun Perch fishing lure #5440

Measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this compact deep-diver is engineered to reach depths of 8 - 12 ft (2.4 - 3.6 m) while casting or trolling. The Strike King 3XD, identified by product code 5440, features a vivid red body accented by bold black crawfish-style stripes and a fine dusting of black flecks, though it is cataloged under the color name Sun Perch. At a weight of 2/5 oz (12 g), it provides the necessary density for precise placement when targeting walleye or pike near submerged structure. This specimen holds a 5/5 condition rating, appearing unused with its original hardware and clear diving lip perfectly preserved. An internal rattle chamber provides an audible presence in deeper, darker water columns, and the hardware consists of two sharp, dark-finished treble hooks.
