Strike King KVD Shallow Square Bill 3/8oz Chartreuse Sexy Shad

The Strike King KVD Shallow Square Bill is a 3/8 oz shallow crankbait built to Kevin VanDam's exact specifications—and it shows in the water. This chartreuse Sexy Shad pattern is built for anglers who want to cover shallow flats, weedy pockets, and structure-heavy zones without spooking fish. The squarebill design doesn't just look the part; it delivers the erratic, wandering action that triggers reaction strikes from bass and other shallow-water hunters. Unlike traditional crankbaits, this lure maintains that constant "hunting" motion—side-to-side and unpredictable—while still tracking true on the retrieve.

One key difference in the KVD lineup is what you won't find inside: no internal rattles. That silent profile is intentional. In clear water or when fish are line-shy, a quiet approach often outperforms the clatter of a noisy bait. You get the erratic action, the deflection off cover, and the triggering power of a shallow squarebill—just without the acoustic signature. The design excels at bouncing off timber, rocks, and grass without hanging up, deflecting with enough character to provoke aggressive strikes.

If you're a shallow-water power fisherman or someone who trusts VanDam's proven designs, the KVD Shallow Square Bill belongs in your tackle box. Chartreuse patterns like Sexy Shad work year-round but shine in stained water or low-light conditions, giving you a bait that's visible and produces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What water depth is this crankbait designed for?

The Strike King KVD Shallow Square Bill is built for shallow water—flats, weedy areas, and shallow structure. The square bill design makes it ideal for power fishing shallow cover without snagging.

Why choose a silent crankbait over a rattling one?

The KVD line includes no internal rattles, which means a quieter approach. In clear water or when bass are pressured, the erratic action alone is often enough to trigger strikes, and the silent profile prevents line-shy fish from spoking.

Is the chartreuse Sexy Shad pattern good for all water conditions?

Chartreuse patterns like Sexy Shad work well year-round but excel in stained water or low-light conditions where visibility is an asset. The bright color helps fish locate the bait while the erratic action closes the deal.
