Description

The Strike King KVD Swim'n Caffeine Shad features the body style and profile of the original Caffeine Shad - now with a paddle tail for an incredible kicking action. Made with Strike King's Perfect Plastic formulation, the KVD Swim'n Caffeine Shad features some of the softest, saltiest plastic ever produced, and is also loaded with Strike King’s exclusive coffee scent (patent pending). Coffee adds to the appeal as it masks human scents and oils and causes bass to hold on longer to increase your hook-up chances. Available in a variety of Strike King’s proven colors, the Strike King KVD Swim'n Caffeine Shad is an excellent bait for a variety of bass fishing applications, including fishing through the grass with a belly weighted hook or on an umbrella rig.

Field Notes

Use on a belly-weighted hook to fish through grass, or rig it on an umbrella rig to cover more water and present multiple baits. Work it with steady retrieves and occasional pauses to let the paddle tail kick and hold bass longer.

Pros

  • Paddle-tail kicking action for consistent vibration
  • Salted soft plastic for better weight and hold
  • Coffee scent helps mask human odor and encourages longer bites

Cons

  • Performance depends on correct rigging (weighted hook vs. umbrella rig)
  • Scent can attract non-target fish in some waters
