Strike King Square Bill 5/8oz Chart/Blue/Splatter Back
The Strike King Square Bill 5/8oz in Chart/Blue/Splatter Back is a shallow water crankbait built to the exact specifications of Kevin VanDam, one of professional fishing's most successful anglers. This hard bait is purpose-built for power fishing shallow cover and structure—the kind of aggressive, active retrieve that triggers bites from aggressive bass in weedy areas, submerged timber, and rocky shorelines. The square bill design gives you the deflection you need to bounce through cover without getting hung up, while the unique hunting action keeps the bait wandering with erratic, unpredictable movement that stays true throughout the retrieve.
What sets the KVD series apart is the silent, rattle-free construction. No internal rattles means a stealthy presentation that lets the bait's natural action and flash do the talking—especially valuable in clear water or when bass are pressured. The Chart/Blue/Splatter Back color combines visibility with natural forage patterns, making it a solid choice in a range of light and water conditions. At 5/8 ounce, it casts far enough to reach productive water without requiring heavy tackle, and the size is ideal for targeting shallow zones where big bass hunt.
If your game is covering water fast, working shallow hard cover, or relying on erratic bait action rather than noise to trigger strikes, the Strike King Square Bill delivers the hunting action and deflection you need to put fish in the box.
