Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King 4XD, 1/3oz fishing lure #18411

A glitter-heavy finish defines the aesthetic of this deep-diving crankbait, featuring a textured silver body with a soft olive-green gradient along its back. Weighing 1/3 oz (10 g) and measuring 2" (5 cm) in length, this specimen is engineered to reach depths of 8–12 ft (2.4–3.6 m) while casting or trolling. The design includes a distinct gold-rimmed eye and a single brown spot on the flank, paired with a red accent under the chin that leads into a long, clear plastic diving lip. This Strike King 4XD, identified by product code 18411, incorporates an internal noise-making chamber to provide an acoustic presence in the water. The hardware consists of two belly-mounted treble hooks which show slight signs of age, though the body itself remains in 5/5 condition. Originally manufactured in the USA, it is a staple for targeting species like walleye and pike.
