Want to take your 6XD cranking to the #NEXTLEVEL, check out Mark Rose differentiate when to use a Hard Knock 6XD vs Standard 6XD vs Silent 6XD.
Finding fish offshore can be a great way to load the boat all year, but especially during the post-spawn. There are a variety of baits that these bass will eat, but nothing is more exciting than catching them on a deep crankbait. A master of offshore fishing, Mark Rose chooses to have the Strike King 6XD tied on the majority of the time. He has shared with us when he uses each model of this awesome bait, and why.
When Rose approaches a school of fish offshore, he starts off with the Standard Strike King 6XD. “I’ve had a lot of success with it. I’ve caught a lot of fish. I’ve won tournaments with it,” states Mark. The 6XD standard just works, and always has. He uses this model to get the school fired up and catches as many on it as possible. Eventually, the fish get too familiar with the bait and the smallest tweak can re-energize them.
