Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King KVD 1.5 Hard Knock square bill, 1/3oz fishing lure #15049

A light blue spine transitions into a pearlescent cream body on this Strike King KVD 1.5 Hard Knock square bill, model number 15049. Tipping the scales at 1/3 oz (10 g), the lure features a clear, square-shaped lip designed for navigating shallow structures. The aesthetic is defined by a deep black head and a bold red "kill spot" positioned behind the yellow-and-black painted eye. This 2" (5 cm) specimen is in 5/5 condition, showing well-preserved paint and original hardware. Produced in the USA, the construction utilizes a specific internal rattle system responsible for the "Hard Knock" designation, providing a low-frequency acoustic profile during a retrieve. Dual treble hooks are attached via sturdy split rings to the belly and tail, specifically sized for this 2" (5 cm) frame.
