Strike King Pro-Model 8 XD

Reach the Depths. Trigger the Strike.

The Strike King Pro-Model 8 XD is built for one purpose: getting down deep and staying there. This extra-deep diving crankbait reaches depths of 20+ feet on a long cast with 10–12 lb fluorocarbon, putting your bait right in the strike zone where big bass are holding on offshore structure, ledges, and humps. When the fish go deep in summer and fall, the Pro-Model 8 XD goes with them.

Built to Perform at Depth

• Extra-deep diving bill — reaches 20+ feet to target bass on deep structure and ledges
• Tight, hunting action — deflects off rocks and hard bottom to trigger reaction strikes
• Balsa-style buoyancy — rises quickly on the pause, imitating a fleeing or dying baitfish
• Premium hooks — equipped with sharp, tournament-grade treble hooks out of the box
• 19 proven color options — from Sexy Shad and Gizzard Shad to Citrus Shad and Delta Red to match any forage or water clarity

How to Fish the Pro-Model 8 XD

Make long casts with 10–12 lb fluorocarbon on a medium-heavy rod to maximize depth. Crank it down to the bottom, then slow your retrieve and let it deflect off rocks and gravel. The pause-and-rise action is deadly on pressured fish. Target main lake points, channel swings, and submerged humps in 15–25 feet of water during the summer and post-spawn periods.

Trusted by tournament pros. Proven on ledges across the country. The Strike King Pro-Model 8 XD is the deep-diving crankbait that belongs in your offshore arsenal.
