Those look exactly like the cabellas brand. The scales on the Cabelas brand are molded into the bait much like the RCs You can feel and see the indentions on the sides. The SKs are smooth on the sides. In addition Cabelas does not currently make a 1.5 size squarebill in their brand. Those are not Cabelas.

I noticed the same thing on the chartreuse black back 1.5's I picked up from Academy last week. They have a red gill plate on them. The one KVD used did not have the gill plate on it. I'm not really a crankbait fisherman but funny thing is I bought a 1.5 chartreuse/black. I think it has rattles. I bought another color pattern also . One has rattles , one doesn't. Anyway first thing I did was paint a red gill plate and then gave it a UV coating. KVDs might not have a gill plate but mine does. wait,i might have read that wrong but are you saying that you bought a KVD 1.5 silent squarebill and it had rattles?

What I don't understand is that Zona said KVD's crankbaits rattled and I see them selling the ones that don't as the one he used - what gives >

They may look the same but they aint. Just what I have seen posted many times.

Just what I have seen posted many times. i heard the same thing when the red eye shad was the big deal. im sure he mods his baits or has some weird prototype versions that never made it to the shelf. he IS kvd,after all.

I went and checked the Strike King catalog and looked at the chartreuse/black back color code. There is not gill plate on it.
They seem to run fine, though. I haven't noticed a difference between the ones I purchased a while back and these new ones. We'll see on the durability.

There is nothing different about the baits he uses or the rod or the reel or the boat or the whatever.... Folks saying this just can't admit or understand that the man is just that good.

I found the packaging from one of my older, good quality 1.5's....it was made in China and the new cheap looking ones are made in Costa Rica. Who'd ever think the good ones would be from China. Now I just need to find some 1.5 Black/Chartreuse from China.

Anyway I went to the shop and painted a red gill plate on mine cause I wanted one on it.

That's been a thing with Strike King. Quality depnds on what plant you get them from. Need to be able to look them over when you buy them.

I had the same issue with my 2.5 Bluegill silent I bought at WalMart running all wacked out to one side. It disappointed me. I have had prior success with a 1.5 rattling that slayed bass one day but after trying one recently that didn't run true I'm now thinking about buying a different brand square bill.
