LONG LIP:
CLASSIC BODY
SHAPE:
an extended square(ish) bill helps
the bait dive to depths of 8 to 10
feet without sacrificing its ability
to wander, hunt, deflect and per-
form other tricks good square-bill
crankbaits are famous for.
the body is identical in shape and
size to the shallow-diving kVd 1.5
square-bill.
FIXED INTERNAL
WEIGHT:
strike king strategically placed a station-
ary internal weight to aid in casting and
to promote maximum diving depth while
enhancing the hunting action.
performance advice
square-bill crankbaits usually
shine the brightest when they are
crashing or bumping into stuff. It’s
critical to pay close attention and stay
in contact with this bait during the
retrieve, especially when it’s bumping
and banging through heavy wood
well below the surface. It’s not as
buoyant as the shallower strike king
square-bill model, so it could get into
trouble in really dense, branchy stuff.
other than that, throw it with your
favorite cranking rod and 10- to 12-
pound-test fluorocarbon.
