Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King Pro Model 5XD, 2/3oz fishing lure #8913

Metallic deep red tones characterize the finish of this Strike King Pro Model 5XD, accented by bold black vertical bars and dots that mimic a crawfish profile. Weighing in at 2/3oz (18g), this crankbait spans 2 3/4" (7cm) and is designed to reach depths between 8ft (2.4m) and 15ft (4.5m). The specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing a clean surface with sharp treble hooks and a sturdy front split ring. A large, clear diving lip is positioned to drive the lure down quickly, making it a reliable choice for targeting walleye or pike when casting or trolling. Cataloged under product code 8913, the lure features striking red eyes that blend into the high-gloss red finish of the head. Inside the body, a noise-making chamber provides a rhythmic sound during the retrieve, adding a secondary sensory element to its visual presence.
