Strike King
The Strike King Square Bill 5/8oz Gizzard Shad is a shallow crankbait built to Kevin VanDam's exacting standards for anglers who want a reliable, erratic-moving lure that holds its own in tight cover. This square bill crankbait delivers the hunting action that triggers aggressive strikes from bass and other gamefish in shallow water, with a design that wanders unpredictably while maintaining a true running path. The gizzard shad color matches a natural forage pattern that works year-round in most freshwater systems.
Where this bait really shines is around cover—wood, grass, rocks, whatever's in the shallows. The square bill design deflects cleanly off obstacles without hanging, letting you fish confidently in areas where other lures get hung up. That deflection often provokes strikes from fish that are positioned tight to cover and suspicious of obvious presentations. Unlike rattling crankbaits that can spook fish in pressured water, this model runs silent, giving you the advantage when bass are keyed on reaction strikes rather than sound.
If you're power fishing shallow structure, sight-fishing clear water, or working the first 5–8 feet of a lake or river system, the Square Bill 5/8oz Gizzard Shad earns its place in your box. It's a workhorse shallow crankbait from a brand trusted by competitive anglers and weekend hunters alike.
This crankbait is designed as a shallow water bait and excels in the shallows where it can deflect off structure effectively.
No. The KVD Square Bill series runs silent with no internal rattles, giving you a quiet presentation that works well in clear water or around pressured fish.
The square bill design deflects perfectly off cover without snagging, making it ideal for fishing tight to wood, rocks, and structure where bass often hide.
Gizzard shad is a natural forage-matching color that imitates a common baitfish pattern and works across a variety of conditions and seasons.
