Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King Pro Model 3XD, 1/4oz Sexy Shad fishing lure #12470

Dressed in the recognizable Sexy Shad pattern, this specimen features a vibrant yellow lateral line set against a shimmering blue-grey back and a crisp white underside. The Strike King Pro Model 3XD, identified by product code 12470, weighs in at 1/4 oz (7 g) and measures 2 inches (5 cm) in length. Engineered as a deep-diving tool, its oversized clear lip facilitates a reach of 6.5–8 ft (2.0–2.4 m), making it a staple for mid-depth casting or trolling sessions targeting pike and zander. An internal rattle provides an acoustic presence within the floating body to help predators track it in various water conditions. This particular lure arrives in 5/5 condition, retaining its original bronze-finish treble hooks and a high-gloss finish. Large, gold-rimmed eyes and a bold black shoulder dot provide the necessary visual focal points. Manufactured in the USA, the 3XD series is designed to maintain a steep dive angle to reach the strike zone quickly.
