New Sk 10Xd 2024
Kevinator1 reply :
I saw where Phil Marks used a prototype SK 10XD to help him win the FLW tournament at Sam Rayburn. I looked it up and that bait is huge. Looks to be almost 2x the size of the 5XD....(maybe that's why it is a 10XD) Supposedly it will dive approx. 25 ft on 15lb flourocarbon. Start working out guys, looks like this one will make you tired throwing it all day!
Brian Needham reply :
mark rose had a picture on his facebook page.....big for sure!

Wow, I really like the sound of this, too bad it wasn't out 4 months ago! I have been waiting for a big oversized crankbait that I can plow through deep water.
Brian Needham reply :
I think it is 4 months out from hitting store shelves........may it was 4 weeks......IDK it was one of em.
Vinny Chase reply :
That is VERY intriguing!

All the pictures with this crank show some very nice stout looking hooks, maybe owner st hooks? I hope it comes with these so they don't have to be changed out.
Primus reply :
Very cool, look forward to trying them.
Stingray23 reply :
looking foward to these
Arv reply :
I'll have to get some when they come out. If the bites tough, I'll just tie one and it'll be like catching a fish every time. Its huge!
TNBassin' reply :
The 10XD will be a staple out here on Douglas Lake. They had that big bass tourney this past may, and you had to go super deep to get the big ones. Wouldn't be surprised if that tourney didn't influence this lure's conception.
Crappiebasser reply :
I saw it's 6" but I haven't seen how much it weighs. I have no desire to throw and crank a 2-3 oz bait all day.
Chris at Tech reply :
I'll need to get a few for the next time I'm trolling for marlin
Hooligan reply :
It may be four months out for some stores, but it is more like six to eight weeks in general. It is a huge bait, reminiscent of the old bagley db series, only bigger bodies. It's a really neat bait for certain.

Now available for preorder on TW...
Goose52 reply :
According to the TW web listing - it's a whopping 1.92 oz....

That way to big for any lakes I fish. Am I the only one who thinks $15 is a little steep?

It's a little hard for me to start seeing that kind of price on a Strike King, but that is one big ol hunk of bait. At that price it will keep me from "collecting them all", but I'll get a few.
Jake P reply :
2 oz and 15$? I'll pass.
Quillback reply :
Looks like something I can throw on my A-rig rod during the summer, to keep the A-rig rod from gathering dust..
A-Jay reply :
That's one Mutant crankbait -
Since it came out, I've taking more fish on the 6XD than all the other cranks combined - so I'm a big fan.
If 10XD comes out in time - I'll be bringing a few down to Lake Baccarac in March.
Maybe this "big fish" bait can work some magic in Mexico . . . . .

I already have a preorder picked out. Just waiting on the last couple days of Christmas to put in my full Baccarac order!

Dwight Hottle reply :
Jeff should I just send my money to you now? Who's going to crank it in after my first cast? I'm going to need a heavier rod.
jhoffman reply :
The 6 is my limit, thing is absurd how large it is. If I need to go deeper than that Ill figure out a drop rig or a jig pattern that will work

I'm going to either go with my parabolic style flipping stick or my swimbait rod - either way that new 300D will be pressed into service.

No disrespect but that's what I hope most think. Use a 300 size reel and a swimbait rod and your good to go, I'm very excited about this bait and will definitely plan on stocking up. I would also like to see a 2 oz Red Eye Shad while they are at it. This bait should catch some lunkers.

I saw that too. I was looking forward to these coming out, but now I'm thinking I might need a whole new set up for it. You guys think it will be ok to fish it on a 7'11 cumara rated up to 1 oz?

My pb lm was caught on a super shad rap, which is a pretty big bait. A 16" lm would have no problem eating that bait. Don't let bait size wig you out...

You're absolutely right, thousands of 1 pounders will still eat this bait.
jhoffman reply :
Its not the bait size that bothers me. An 18" bass can eat a 12" bass no problem. I just think that theres got to be a better and more efficient way to get to that depth.
Primus reply :
ABT lures came out with their X2 Slow Sink Crankbait which can reach deeper depths. I bought one but didn't get around to using it much as I got it late in the year. Did make a few cast to see how it swims, looks like it might have promise. Will fish it hard next summer to see if it can earn a spot in my tackle box.
I also bought a Bass Star Dredger a few years back which is another sinking crank, didn't care for that bait.

Didn't produce enough fish for me. The bait would seem to tumble a lot on the cast and which result in too many wasted cast with the hooks fouling on the line. Perhaps their was user error on my part but many of the times it failed to produce I was able to generate strikes with other crankbaits. Maybe others have done well with it but it didn't work out for me. Now watch someone post a trophy that they caught on this bait

Thank you - I have been on the fence about adding a few of these to my arsenal.
I may still give one a try later but for now, guess I'll just put this on hold -
but the 10XD ~ that's getting Pre-Ordered !

Guys it is just a tool. It all depends on where you fish. It is not a small fish bait for shallow waters. It's a big fish bait for deep waters. Might be worth a try if you have the rigth opportunity. If it produces like a $15 lc pointer the price is right. 
ChiCityBasser reply :
I've got my eye on 2-3 of them for deep water situations and $15 isn't a bad price as we'll sometimes spend upwards of $150 for a reel and $150-300 for a rod and not to mention line.
Brian Needham reply :
"whining" about 2oz, 6 inches, and $15??? none of yall throw hudds then huh?
Quillback reply :
Well the thing about $15 deep diving crank is you're going to get hung up deep because you're going to fish around and run through cover and structure. Lose several of these a day and it gets expensive. You definitely want to have a lure retriever with you if you're going to fish these things. And think about how much fun it's going to be trying to un-snag a lure hung up 25' down on a windy day with a two foot chop, and you're out there by yourself.
I'm thinking if I fish these things I'll probably do it on 65 lb. braid and change out the hooks for something thin wire that I can pull on and straighten the hook if I get hung.

Probably should invest in those LureSaver Split Rings and than use decent hooks. The split rings will give out and open up under enough pressure, more than what a fish will produce though.
Quillback reply :
Thnaks for the tip on the lure saver split rings, I'll have to check those out.
A-Jay reply :
Any time you're working any crankbait through a type of cover where the bait is prone to getting hung up, some type of lure retriever is a good idea. This new bait is projected to go a bit deeper but the current baits all go beyond arms reach as well. That being the case, this new bait may really only change my deep cranking techniques in a couple of ways;
1). The baits sheer size may require a bit beefier set up to fish effectively - what that will be is yet to be determined, at least for me.
And
2). Though I don't expect this to be magic, I'm hoping to reap the benefits of what is essentially a "swimbait" sized deep crankbait and we already know that the those bigger baits do routinely end up hung in the face of some of the larger fish in the system.

You crack me up A-Jay - go get 'em in the spring! 
A-Jay reply :
OK - so they showed up today - and it's pretty big as far as crankbaits go.
When compared to a 5 & 6xd it looks quite sizable.
Next to the 6 inch Bull Shad - not so much.

ww2farmer reply :
I just got my first few, yeah they are big, yeah they are heavy................time/place/results..........TBD. One things for sure, they will NOT be getting used on my normal cranking rods, I kinda already thought that based on specs/photos I have seen, but now having them in hand confirms that.
Bluebasser86 reply :
They really don't look as huge as I thought they would. I still can't think of a use for them in our lakes but I'm sure they'll catch fish well at certain places.
TNBassin' reply :
I'm gonna have to buy a rod that I can throw this on. Our local lake holds fish DEEP, and this will come in handy during those hot summer days.

If you're going to the Classic exhibition, Tackle Center will be selling 10XD's at "Special Classic prices" (whatever that means).
