Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King KVD Silent square bill, 2/5oz Sexy Shad fishing lure #17254

Finished in the iconic Sexy Shad pattern, the 17254 model highlights the signature aesthetics that Kevin VanDam helped popularize. Weighing 2/5 oz (12 g) and measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm), the profile features a grey-scaled back transitioning into a yellow lateral stripe and a clean white belly. This specimen is in 5/5 condition, maintaining the clarity of its square-shaped diving lip and the integrity of the paint finish. Designed to reach depths of 3 - 5 ft (0.9 – 1.5 m), the silent internal construction makes it a tactical choice for pressured waters where standard rattles might be avoided. The floating body is equipped with a distinct black 'kill spot' near the gill plate and realistic gold-rimmed eyes. Whether utilized for casting around shallow structures or light trolling, the hardware remains secure and ready for the water.
