Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King KVD 1.5 Silent square bill, 2/5oz Olive Sexy Shad fishing lure #23947

Olive Sexy Shad coloration on this specimen features a soft transition from a dark back to a pale belly, highlighted by a subtle yellow lateral stripe and a distinct black spot behind the gill plate. Weighing 2/5 oz (12 g) with a length of 2 1/4" (6 cm), the Strike King KVD 1.5 Silent square bill is a silent-running crankbait designed for depths of 3 - 5 ft (0.9 – 1.5 m). This USA-origin model, cataloged under product code 23947, presents in 5/5 condition, showing pristine finishes and sharp treble hooks. The silent internal build makes it a technical choice for casting or trolling in clear water or pressured environments where a more natural presentation is required. Its floating buoyancy helps the lure rise slowly when paused near submerged timber or rocks to avoid snags.
