Strike King KVD Squarebill 2.5
Description and Application: Designed to the exact specifications of angling legend Kevin VanDam, this crankbait is perfect for shallow water and power fishing around all types of cover. The squarebill design and unique “hunting” action will constantly wander with erratic movement, while still running true—and bass will find it very hard to resist. It also deflects perfectly off cover to entice strikes. The KVD series of baits are designed with no internal rattles for a silent approach.
Staff Perspective: I’ve worn the paint off of a few of these over the years, and I can attest to how well they cast, run and keep fish pinned all the way back to the boat. If you’re looking for the best place to put them to work, I suggest standing timber and blowdowns during late spring into early summer. You can really run this thing through brush and against big logs and standing yet submerged trees. This squarebill is a is a go-to on the regular. Plus, there are 44 awesome colors to choose from you can perfectly match the forage base in your lake.
Cost: $7.99
