The Strike King Series 5 crankbait in 5/8oz Blue Gizzard Shad is a medium-bodied hard bait built for anglers who want reliable depth control and a realistic retrieve without overthinking it. The Series 5 sits in that sweet spot of the crankbait lineup—not a shallow diver, not a deep bomb, but a versatile tool that dives to 10 feet and beyond with a modest 2° diving plane. That shallow angle means you can cast it farther than steeper-diving models, which matters when you're trying to reach fish that have moved away from the bank or when wind is a factor.
Blue Gizzard Shad is a finesse pattern that mirrors natural forage in clear to moderately stained water. The medium wobble on this bait generates enough flash and vibration to draw attention without spooking cautious fish, and the free-floating internal rattles add acoustic appeal that helps fish zero in on the bait, especially in lower-visibility conditions or when you're fishing at depth. It's the kind of crankbait that works as hard on the retrieve as you do—just wind it and let the lure's action do the talking.
Whether you're targeting bass in a lake, smallmouth on a river, or any species that key on baitfish, the Series 5 earns its place in your tackle box as a go-to search bait. Cast it, let it settle into its hunting depth, and work it steadily. It's not fancy, but it catches fish.
| Weight | 5/8 oz |
| Type | Diving Crankbait |
| Diving Depth | 10 feet and beyond |
| Wobble Action | Medium |
| Buoyancy | Medium |
| Color Pattern | Blue Gizzard Shad |
The Blue Gizzard Shad pattern performs well in clear to moderately stained water where baitfish are present. It's effective for bass, smallmouth, and other species that feed on shad. The medium wobble and rattle system work across a range of light conditions and water clarity.
The Series 5 dives to 10 feet and beyond, depending on line weight, rod angle, and how long you allow it to reach full depth before retrieval.
Yes. The shallow 2° diving plane is designed to promote lengthened casts compared to steeper-diving crankbaits, making it easier to reach distant structure and cover more water per cast.
The free-floating internal rattles create vibration and sound that attract fish, especially useful in stained water or when fishing at depth where visual appeal alone may not be enough to draw a strike.
