Strike King Lure Company has been known for their spinnerbaits since I can remember. Even when I was little that is what I threw. In the last couple of years Strike King has stepped up on their crankbait line and they are adding to it every year. The big news last year was the unveiling of the Series 6XD crankbait which will dive to at least 17 feet on ten pound test line. This year it is the KVD 1.5 and 2.5 which obviously put Kevin Vandam in the winner’s circle in the Bassmaster Classic. They also have a Series 5XD which has come out this year. This smaller crankbait will dive 15 feet on ten pound test line. Along with these new additions comes the Silent Series that has no internal rattles. The best part about these hard baits is that they are affordable. Fishermen can get some of the best products at a great price. Look for these baits at a retailer near you. They will not stay on the shelves long.
