Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King KVD 1.5 Silent square bill, 2/5oz Chartreuse Sexy Shad fishing lure #19971

A vibrant yellow lateral line defines the Chartreuse Sexy Shad pattern on this 2 1/4" (6 cm) silent square bill. Developed under the KVD series for Strike King, this specimen, cataloged under product code 19971, is designed to dive to depths between 3 ft (0.9 m) and 5 ft (1.5 m). The 2/5 oz (12 g) body features a pale, pearlescent finish on the flanks and a distinct orange splash under the chin, providing a subtle visual trigger. Its clear square lip is engineered to deflect off heavy cover such as submerged timber or rocks during casting or trolling. Being a silent model, it lacks internal rattles, relying on its physical profile to move through the water. The hardware is well-maintained, featuring two black nickel treble hooks that show only light signs of use. Rated at 4/5, the exterior finish remains clean, highlighting the fine scale patterns and the characteristic black spot on the side.
