Museum Archive: Strike King KVD 5 Silent Stalker, 2/3oz Sexy Blue Back Herring fishing lure #16225

Coated in the classic Sexy Blue Back Herring pattern, this 2 3/4" (7 cm) crankbait represents a specialized entry in the Strike King tournament-grade lineup. Weighing 2/3 oz (18 g), this Series 5 model is built for deep-water work, reaching depths of 10-13 ft (3 m - 3.9 m). This specimen, carrying product code 16225, is unused and remains in its original retail packaging. As a 'Silent' version, it is constructed without internal rattles to provide a stealthier profile during casting or trolling. The long, sturdy diving lip and the Costa Rican manufacturing origins are hallmarks of this era's Pro-Model designs. A faint yellow lateral line separates the blue-grey back from the pearlescent belly, accented by distinct red-rimmed eyes.
