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

The Strike King KVD Shallow Square Bill is a 3/8oz shallow crankbait built to Kevin VanDam's exact specifications for serious power fishing. This chartreuse shad pattern is engineered to hunt shallow water cover with an erratic, wandering action that keeps fish guessing. The square bill design lets you deflect hard off stumps, grass, and timber without fouling, triggering aggressive strikes from fish protecting territory. If you're working the shallows and need a bait that moves unpredictably while staying true to course, this is your go-to.

What sets the KVD apart is its silent running approach—no internal rattles means less spooking in clear water or when finesse matters. That quiet profile pairs with the bait's natural hunting motion to draw strikes on sight rather than sound. The chartreuse shad color cuts through stained water and stands out against heavy cover, making it effective in a range of conditions from early morning to overcast days.

Whether you're flipping shallow flats, cranking the wood line, or power fishing a creek system, the KVD Shallow Square Bill delivers the action and durability you expect from a Kevin VanDam signature series lure. Compact enough to cast all day but substantial enough to hold its own in windy conditions, this is a shallow water crankbait built for results.
