SKU: HCHHJRS-108-STRIKE KING
Overview
Built for shallow-water presentations, this floating crankbait is aimed at bass and pike working the 1- to 5-foot range. Its fat-bodied, flat-sided profile and 90-degree L-shaped bill create a side-to-side hunting action with a hard thump, while the loud internal rattle system adds extra commotion. Reflective 3D eyes and chip-resistant finishes round out a lure designed for use around vegetation when you want a more aggressive retrieve. It comes as a single lure and is a compact 3-inch option for covering shallow water with a pronounced action.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for shallow water, so it is not the right choice when fish are holding deeper than the 1–5 foot range described here.
- The exaggerated hunting action and loud internal rattles are built to call attention, which may be more than you want in very pressured or quiet conditions.
- Its floating crankbait design and shallow-running bill make it a specialized lure rather than a general-purpose option for every retrieve depth or structure type.
- Sold as a single lure per pack, so anglers who want multiple color or backup options will need to buy additional units.
