Strike King KVD Square Bill 2.5 — 5/8 oz, Sexy Shad
Built to hit things
Free shipping over $75 · ships in 3–7 business days
Best bought alongside something else. Small, light items like this cost nearly as much to ship as they do to make. Add it to a rod or lure order and it rides along in the same box — which is why the free-shipping threshold is $75.
The square lip makes the bait deflect off cover rather than hang in it, and that deflection — the sudden change of direction as it caroms off a stump — is what triggers the strike. Kevin VanDam won a great deal of money doing exactly this.

- ▸Square lip deflects off wood and rock
