Should be a nice new addition.

 

Series 8XD - 1-1/4 oz. - Dives to 20 feet and beyond 
An extra-deep diving crankbait, smaller than a 10XD yet slightly larger than a 6XD. This medium sized XD series crankbait can be retrieved with ease while still hitting the depths where the big ones live! 

I'm running out of room in my co-angler bag ... LOL

Looks Like it's already available.

Do I need this? No.

 

Will I buy this? Yes.

Based on my exp. with the 10xd.............I'll pass. The 6xd serves me well, and gets to where I want it long lining, plus it's WAY easier on me.

Sound cool. Can I get one yet some were?

They're available at TW now as well.

I'll happily try one. The 10XD is just a bit larger than I'm willing to fish and dives a bit too deep for a majority of our lakes. Really glad to see it comes in the green gizzard shad color.

I caught a ton of fish on the 6xd and am yet to score with the 10xd...on the retrieve i dont mind the 10, but i hate casting it.
