KVD Shallow Square Bill 1.5 – Chartreuse Shad | Strike King

Overview

The KVD Shallow Square Bill 1.5 by Strike King is engineered for situations where a traditional 1.5 crankbait might dive too deep. Designed by Kevin VanDam, this lure delivers a lively wiggle and a compact running profile that stays in the upper layers, specifically three feet of water or less. The shallow-running design helps you search near cover and along shallow structure, offering a versatile option when you’re navigating grass edges, stumpy flats, and weed lines. The combination of precise tuning and a bold chartreuse shad color makes the lure visually striking in a variety of light conditions without overpromising results.

Shallow-Water Performance

The distinctive bill redirects the lure away from dense vegetation while allowing it to deflect off sticks and shallow cover. This means you can maintain a true running line at higher speeds, helping you cover water efficiently around grass beds and shallow flats. Anglers often notice the lure stays lively and easy to control when the water depth is limited, giving you confidence to push the retrieve past typical thresholds.

Construction and Durability

The KVD 1.5 shallow runner is hand-tuned to emphasize a pronounced wiggle with a compact body. It features black nickel hooks for durability and reliability during long fishing days, plus chip-resistant paint to withstand repeated strikes. The 3D eyes add a touch of realism that can catch a fish’s attention, while the overall finish is designed to endure frequent contact with cover and rough environments.
