Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King KVD 1.5 Hard Knock Square bill, 2/3oz Natural Bream fishing lure #6854

Weighing in at 2/3oz (18g), this crankbait features a highly detailed Natural Bream finish that replicates the appearance of local sunfish through specific scale patterns. The Strike King KVD 1.5 Hard Knock Square bill, identified by product code 6854, is engineered to operate at depths from 1ft (0.3m) to 5ft (1.5m). Measuring 2 3/4" (7cm) in length, the lure is equipped with two black treble hooks and a clear, square-shaped diving lip. Its visual profile is enhanced by prominent red eyes and a soft orange-gold transition on the lower belly. This specimen remains in 5/5 condition, maintaining its original luster across the realistic textured body. The "Hard Knock" internal construction is a specific feature of this model range intended for use in casting and trolling scenarios targeting pike or zander. All hardware, including the stainless split rings, is original and securely attached.
