Lew's Strike King Promodel Crankbait 6XD HC6XDHK-699 – Natural Shad, 1 oz, Hard Knock

Overview

The Strike King Promodel Crankbait is engineered for serious deep-water presentation. Its XD curved bill lets the lure dive deeper and reach underwater structure faster, enabling efficient water coverage across channels, ledges, and drop-offs. This deep-running design is a standout in Strike King’s XD lineup, praised for its ability to reach deeper zones with speed. A new hard-knock element adds a distinct, deeper tone that helps the lure register in murkier or busier water, giving you a perceptible difference in the lure’s presence below the surface. Together, these features create a tool that responds to a steady retrieve with confidence and a pronounced underwater signal.

Color and finish play a crucial role in real-world fishing. The 699 Natural Shad color provides a natural, versatile profile that blends with many water conditions while remaining visible in brighter and dimmer light. Premium finishes catch light and mimic the look of common forage, helping the bait feel familiar to nearby fish and aiding tracking through varying water clarity.

• Unique curved bill and balance for deeper, faster dives
