I have also been asked about the silent vs rattling...Folks here is the bottom line to that. We sell a rattling version of the KVD1.5 and KVD2.5 to Bass Pro. The rattling version is only available at Bass Pro. The baits are identical and the only difference is a post that allows the weights to move back and forth within the rattle chamber, hence the bait rattles...This allows us to have both a silent and a rattling version and for the baits to run the same. So yall are saying that the rattling ones can only be bought at BPS cause Im preety sure i got some at academy that are ratlling?Correct me if im wrong.

He said they are even hand tuned. I guess a chinese worker with an airbrush is considered hand tuning. I think my idea of hand tuning and sk is a little different. Doubt they have time for that.

If someone doesnt like the ones they have ill give you my address just send them to me. Ill let the fish decide if they are fake or dont run right and post some pics of the fish they catch cause i have yet to get one of them that has not caught fish. So ill take them and any other lures you dont want or like anymore.

I personally hand carved 17 of the "1.5" type baits for the classic and I know they are not all the same as what you are saying he throws.

Do u know this on a personal basis puma jim? Please. Who does not know about SK quality issues? Not saying I do not buy some cause I like the new squarebills but you just never know what kind of paint job or how they will run. Do a search and find out for yourself if you don't believe me. Like another post said it really depends on what plant you are getting your baits from. Got a friend at BPS who tells me about the different color and quality sk baits they get in from Costa Rico and China. I am sure SK has the sweatshops cranking out these baits since they are in high demand. They are fair to good baits at a good price but they are not lucky crafts. I still buy both brands

I caught a 4 lb bass Sunday at Whitney on a 1.5 SK squarebill in the sexy shad pattern. Actually it was my first time to use it. Been reading a lot about square-bill baits and am a firm believer that you have to bounce off the timber to provoke a strike. Went to Academy the Monday after KVD won the classic. I thought I was going to beat the rush but all the chartreuse and black back were gone by then. But I got the bluegill and sexy shad patterns. And it worked the way it should. I hit a stump and thought I was hung up but the line started moving sideways.  By the way a red-orange craw pattern would be nice.

Ok so you first say that it won't run true ONLY assuming if we hit it on our trolling motor!!! 3 exclamation's! Then you say But actually the "one" special bait in fact does have a flaw, and sometimes these flaws make it run a little different
Smoke on!

I saw this thread today and made me think about checking my purchase last week... I had picked up the fire tiger and sexy Shad 1.5KVD from anglers tackle in hurst.
I looked at them but never inspected them out of the box.. I wish I could post this picture(I can send someone a iPhone pic to post but I have no idea how to). Worst paint job ever! It's totally cracked around the underside of the squarebill almost clear to the eye. I'm returning this p.o.s. and getting a couple of the Rick clunn ones they have on sale for 6 bucks.

Bass are going to have a Masters Degree in what KVD 1.5's look like before this huge demand is met.  Glad I have my own little favorite square bill that catchs fish instead of using everyone elses favorite!

MnBasser, i know your pics aren't hi res or anything but my 2 make yours look like they came from lamborghini paint shop. I swear to all that's holy these are the worst I've ever seen, maybe I won KVD's winning lure? It's gotta be used!
Strikekinglures, if I posted this pic you would be horrified your product looks this way. I'm glad I saw this thread before I took these packages to my fishing trip. Now I can replace them with something else, I love that sexy Shad but this is just unbelievably an attempt to rush baits out because of demand.
Between strike king and grande bass I sure am getting to know some new baits

Yall absolutely have some quality control issues. I picked up 7 1.5s and 2.5s tonight at bass pro. 2 of them look so horrible you couldnt pay me to throw them. I guess next time I will have to open up my packages to inspect my cb.

The KVD 1.5 in Charteuse with Black back that I have looks just like the one pictured with the red gill. On the second fish I caught on it, the corner of the bill was broke off.

I still buy both brands I would say they are great baits since a man won the Bassmaster Classic with one. Lucky Craft didn't win it.
