Museum Archive: Vintage Strike King KVD Silent square bill UV, 2/5oz fishing lure #17761

Featuring a vibrant UV-reactive coating, this 12 g (2/5 oz) crankbait is built for visibility in deeper or stained water. The 6 cm (2.4") body is finished with a chartreuse back that transitions into pearlescent sides, accented by a bold black shoulder spot and a bright orange throat. This specific specimen, identified by product code 17761, is designed as a silent floating model, suited for both casting and trolling techniques. Its square bill is clear and sturdy, built to handle depths between 3 ft and 5 ft (0.9 m – 1.5 m). When viewed under UV light, the finish reveals an intense green and blue glow, highlighting the Strike King attention to visual triggers. The hardware includes two sharp treble hooks, and the lure remains in 5/5 condition, appearing exceptionally well-maintained with a crisp, clean finish. This model represents the evolution of Strike King’s USA-designed lineup, incorporating modern light-reflective technology into a classic profile.
