Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King 4XD, 1/3oz Chartreuse fishing lure #11271

Glitter-infused Chartreuse paint gives the body of this deep-diving crankbait a distinct, reflective finish. Designed for reaching depths between 8–12 ft (2.4–3.6 m), the Strike King 4XD is a specialized tool for targeting walleye and pike when they hold to submerged structures or deeper drop-offs. The 2" (5 cm) body is paired with a long, clear diving bill that facilitates its deep-water path. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g), the lure includes an internal rattle system to assist fish in locating the bait in low-visibility conditions. The hardware consists of two bronze-finished treble hooks that remain sharp and free of oxidation. Originating from the USA, this specimen carries the Product Code 11271 and is rated at a 5/5 condition, appearing completely unused. Its floating buoyancy allows the bait to rise slowly when the retrieve is paused, a common technique for navigating through underwater timber.
