Description

Silent but deadly, the KVD Elite 2.5 Squarebill crankbait is fine-tuned and masterfully crafted to meet the specifications of legendary pro angler Kevin VanDam. The squarebill design of the KVD Elite series crankbaits effectively deflects off cover to entice reaction strikes and create a distinctive hunting action that erratically wanders while still running true. The KVD 2.5 Squarebill has been given an “elite” makeover, featuring exclusive paint schemes and KVD’s signature Mustad Triple Grip hooks, weighing in at 5/8 oz. with diving depths of 3- to 5-feet.

  • Silent profile can be effective on pressured fish
  • Runs true with an erratic hunting action
  • Shallow 3- to 5-foot diving range

Cons

  • Limited to shallow water
  • May not be ideal when fish are holding deeper
