Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King KVD 1.5 Hard Knock square bill, 1/3oz fishing lure #10263

A square-shaped clear diving lip characterizes this Strike King KVD 1.5 Hard Knock, designed specifically for deflecting off heavy cover while maintaining a depth of 3 - 5 ft (0.9 - 1.5 m). This specimen, listed under product code 10263, features the classic Pearl color pattern, blending a bright chartreuse-yellow back into shimmering glitter-infused silver sides and a subtle orange accent on the throat. Measuring 2" (5 cm) and weighing 1/3 oz (9.5 g), the lure's compact body houses a 'Hard Knock' internal rattle system that produces a distinct, low-frequency thumping sound. The hardware remains in excellent shape, earning a condition rating of 5/5, with two bronzed treble hooks secured by robust split rings. Its construction is optimized for both casting and trolling techniques, reflecting the high-performance standards Strike King is known for in the USA. A vivid yellow eye with a black pupil is positioned on the forward section of the pearl-coated head, just above the clear bill.
