Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King KVD Silent square bill, 2/5oz Gizzard Shad fishing spoon #18916

Gizzard Shad coloration defines the aesthetic of this 2 1/4" (6cm) crankbait, displaying a dark, shadowed back and a prominent black spot on each side. Designated with product code 18916, this Strike King KVD Silent square bill weighs 2/5oz (12g) and is built with a floating buoyancy. The clear square lip is engineered to reach depths of 3ft to 5ft (0.9 – 1.5m), making it suitable for both casting and trolling applications. Unlike many traditional crankbaits, this model features a silent internal design without rattle beads for a stealthier approach. The specimen is rated 5/5, showing a well-preserved finish and the original hardware remains intact. This design reflects the specific preferences for professional-level competition tackle from the American manufacturer.
