Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King Pro Model 5XD, 2/3oz fishing lure #8865

A vibrant chartreuse and yellow body accented by bold black spots and a warm orange belly makes this 2 3/4" (7cm) crankbait stand out in any collection. Labeled under Product Code 8865, the Strike King Pro Model 5XD carries a weight of 2/3oz (18g), providing the necessary mass to reach its deep-running depths of 8 - 15 ft (2.4 – 4.5 m). This floating, deep-diving model is equipped with a long, clear diving lip and a loud internal rattle chamber for auditory attraction during casting or trolling. The specimen's condition is a pristine 5/5, showing a clean finish and sharp bronze hardware. A notable characteristic of this specific finish is its luminescent property, glowing brightly in low-light conditions to provide a visual target for pike or zander in deep water.
