Strike King KVD 1.5 Deep Diver Crankbait – Silent Deep Square Bill, Pearl/Black Splatter Char (2 1/4 in, 3/8 oz)

Strike King KVD 1.5 Deep Diver Crankbait

Square bills aren't limited to shallow water. The Strike King KVD silent deep square bill crankbait takes Kevin VanDam's winning lineage and elevates it with an upsized bill that dives quickly into deeper bass holding cover. Its silent profile provides a stealthy approach, while the classic swimming action remains reliable even when you bump into structure.

Designed for freshwater fishing, this 2 1/4 inch lure weighs about 7/16 oz, striking a balance between casting distance and on water presence. The Pearl/Black Splatter Char finish catches light and imitates a small baitfish gliding through stained or clear water environments. The result is a lure that appears alive as it wobbles and glides along the bottom contours.

What makes the KVD 1.5 a good choice

• Upsized bill enables faster depth to reach 9 feet and beyond potential bass holding cover
• Silent approach reduces splash and helps entice wary fish that react to subtle cues
• Dives to about 9 feet with a firm, consistent swim path that can be steered through cover
• Mass and buoyancy alignment designed to maintain an enticing wobble with each cast

Premium construction and performance

The lure uses proven components with finishes designed to withstand strikes and repeated contact with wood, rock, and hard cover. The Pearl/Black Splatter Char palette offers a versatile look for a range of water conditions, from river stained to clear lake environments.

Real world use cases and tips

• Best used around weed edges, submerged structure, and drop-offs where bass patrol deeper zones
• Pair with a medium gear ratio reel for precise depth control and steady retrieves
• Try a slow crawl with occasional pauses to imitate a fleeing baitfish and draw bites from following bass
