Strike King Series 5 - 5/8oz Splatter/Back/Chartreuse

The Strike King Series 5 diving crankbait is a versatile mid-sized lure built for anglers who want consistent, predictable action across shallow to moderate depths. At 5/8 ounce, this crankbait delivers a balanced casting experience and a medium wobble that appeals to bass, pike, and other freshwater gamefish without requiring excessive rod work. The Splatter/Back/Chartreuse color pattern combines high-visibility chartreuse with a natural splatter finish—a pairing that works whether you're fishing stained water or bright conditions.

What sets the Series 5 apart is its thoughtful diving geometry. The 2° diving plane is angled to extend your casting distance while keeping the lure's descent controlled, allowing you to reach depths beyond 10 feet without the lob and splash of steeper-diving models. This makes it especially useful when you need to reach offshore structure or deeper channels without sacrificing accuracy or finesse. The internally housed rattles deliver subtle acoustic stimulation—enough to draw attention without sounding like a dinner bell.

The medium buoyancy and wobble profile make the Series 5 an all-purpose choice for anglers who don't want to overthink it. It's equally at home burned along a shallow flat or worked through a creek channel. Throw it on a standard crankbait rod and retrieve at a steady pace, or vary your cadence to trigger reaction strikes. The Splatter/Back/Chartreuse finish is a proven color in a wide range of water conditions, making it a reliable go-to when you want to focus on presentation and location rather than color selection.
