Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King KVD 1.5 Silent square bill, 2/5oz Olive Shad fishing lure #16780

A weight of 2/5 oz (12 g) provides the necessary ballast for this Strike King KVD 1.5 Silent square bill to reach its target depth of 3–5 ft (0.9–1.5 m). Clad in the Olive Shad pattern, the 2 1/4" (6 cm) lure features a muted grey-olive top and a bright yellow lateral streak over a pale cream belly. This specific specimen, identified by product code 16780, is the silent version, built without internal rattles for a stealthier presence while casting or trolling. The clear, square-shaped lip is designed to move through cover, and the side is marked by a single black spot near the yellow-and-black eyes. Both black nickel treble hooks and the nose split ring show no wear, and the body finish is entirely free of hook swings or blemishes. This lure is unused and presents in pristine condition.
