Here’s how to work the Strike King KVD Elite 1.5 Squarebill like you’ve got Kevin VanDam whispering in your ear:

Tip from the Pros: Rip, Bounce, and Pause

• Target Cover: Cast it tight against rocks, stumps, or laydowns—this bait was born to stir up trouble in shallow ambush zones.

• Vary Your Retrieve: Mix up a steady crank with sudden twitches or brief pauses to trigger reaction strikes. That wide hunting action fools even the most suspicious bass.

• Bang Into Structure: Don’t shy away from bumping into cover. The square bill deflects like a champ—just the kind of erratic movement that turns curious fish into committed predators.

• Speed Demon? Not Always: While fast retrieves can ignite aggressive bites, slow-roll it occasionally to tempt those lunkers lurking low.

Fish it like you’re trying to pick a fight—and land one worth bragging about.
