The Strike King Series 6XD Hard Knock is a 1oz gizzard shad deep diving crankbait engineered to reach depths where bass and other gamefish hold, especially in reservoirs, lakes, and offshore structure. The curved bill design sets this bait apart—it's built to dive deeper and faster than conventional crankbaits, letting you work deeper water columns efficiently without sacrificing castability or action. If you're after fish suspended 19 feet or deeper, this is a workhorse lure that delivers.
What makes the 6XD stand out is the sound. The new Hard Knock chamber design combines free-floating rattle compartments with a solid rattle, creating a distinct knocking tone that triggers strikes from fish that have seen standard crankbait noise before. In clear or stained water, that acoustic signature becomes a confidence builder—you know the lure is working and calling fish.
At 1 ounce, the gizzard shad pattern mimics a natural forage fish found in most freshwater systems, making it a reliable choice across different fisheries and seasons. Whether you're working deep grass, main-lake structure, or offshore humps, the gizzard shad profile and that knockout rattle give you a hunting tool that triggers bites when other baits fall flat.
| Weight | 1oz |
| Type | Deep Diving Crankbait |
| Color Pattern | Gizzard Shad |
| Maximum Diving Depth | 19 feet+ |
| Rattle Style | Hard Knock (free-floating chambers + solid rattle) |
The 6XD will dive 19 feet or deeper, depending on line type and retrieve speed. The curved bill design accelerates the rate of descent and allows it to reach depths that standard crankbaits can't match.
The Hard Knock chamber features free-floating rattle compartments combined with a solid rattle, producing a distinct knocking tone that differs from conventional crankbait sounds. This unique acoustic signature is designed to trigger strikes from fish that may have become conditioned to standard lure noise.
Gizzard shad is a natural forage fish found in most freshwater lakes and reservoirs, making it a versatile pattern across different water clarity levels and seasons. It's a solid choice when you're uncertain of local forage or fishing unfamiliar water.
The 1oz size and 19-foot diving depth make this lure well-suited for bass, pike, musky, and other gamefish that hunt in deep water. It's particularly effective on larger specimens that relate to deep structure and offshore zones.
