Kvd Squarebills In The Fall? 2024


fishing user avatarMNBassFisher reply : 

When it comes to Fall Bass fishing I often turn to Crankbaits to put fish in the boat. Often times I find myself throwing a lipless crankbait, DT-6 or DT10 but a friend reminded me that Squarebill's can be deadly in the fall as well. The fishing was slow on this particular day but I was able to manage a 16" bass and a healthy 18" 3.5lb bass on a KVD 1.5.

 

Who else uses Squarebills in the Fall? If so, what brand do you prefer?

I do! Kvd 1.5s are great, haven't had as much success on the other sizes though. My favorite would probably be spro little johns. Their flat sides are perfect for fall, and the colors are awesome.


fishing user avatarrippin-lips reply : 

1.5 in perch has boated 3 of my 5 smallies today. Grabbing some food and we'll be back on the water until dark.


fishing user avatariceintheveins reply : 

Squarebills work great in the fall. I would say the bomber square A is my favorite.


fishing user avatarMainebass1984 reply : 

KVDs 1.5 when I want numbers and 2.5s for I want big bass. I usually fish 2.5s....

 

They are awesome and I have my best luck when I am "bumpin the stump " with my crankbait.


fishing user avatarGoDeep reply : 

Yep. I use 1.5s all the time in the fall.


fishing user avataraavery2 reply : 

LC RC 1.5 is my all time favorite.

I agree, there's just something about a bomber

fishing user avatarCatch and Grease reply : 

Yup, kvd 1.5s, H2O crs, and bomber square A's!


fishing user avatarJolly Green reply : 

Another vote for Bomber Square A, Foxy Momma, on a wire leader because easily half the fish it catches are pike.  


fishing user avatarAK-Jax86 reply : 

1.5s, Fall, BIG BASS all go hand in hand


fishing user avatarJon G reply : 

I use squarebills almost year round


fishing user avatarMike2841 reply : 

Haven't been using kvds, but I've been killing them one some custom painted 2.5s I have.

They really do work year round down here...


fishing user avatarDjf3864 reply : 

I fish with a KVD 2.5 pretty much all year long and it produces, working on LMB, SMB and pickerel.


fishing user avatarslimshad reply : 

Excited to see that my new KVD 8.0 should be on my porch when I get home.  I plan on throwing htem on the edges of the grass this weekend.  Hope the big bait means big bass.  I like 1.5 in the flats along with lipless baits.  I always seem to have both tied on at the same time.  Guess i can't make up my mind.  Also like the change up every now and then. 


fishing user avatarMNBassFisher reply : 

Thanks for all the input on squarebill brands! I will definitely have to check some out. Fished side by side a 6th Sense Squareill w/ a rattle and it outfished the silent KVD's. I wish we had more wood and stumps up here in the North but there is hardly any. Thankfully Squarebills get hammered when you rip it from grass/weeds though.

That bait looks awesome. I've thrown the 10XD before and now the 8.0 has my attention! Let me know how your success is with the 8.0


fishing user avatartholmes reply : 

Squarebills are a year-round staple for me also. I like Bandit, H2O Xpress, and Norman Fat Boy.

fishing user avatarA-Jay reply : 

The Square bill has been a solid producer for me all season. 

 

Started catching my first trip of the season with the water temps in the high 40's and it's still taking bass here in Oct.

 

The 6th Sense Crush Flat X75 in Bluegill does most of the damage.

I use the 2.5s a lot when cranking shallow as well.  The 1.5s are fine but, in my opinion, they tend to draw a lot more small fish.

I've never used square bills, so I've got to ask: rattle, or no rattle?

It really depends, there is a place for both.

I picked up a couple of Bomber Square A's last night. They appear to run a bit shallower than the KVD 1.5 but I definitely will be trying them soon!

Get some of both. There's been times when the rattle is the key and then there are times where a silent crank is what the fish want.


fishing user avatarOzark_Basser reply : 

Definitely.  Anywhere where the cover is too sparse to throw spinnerbaits or rock banks is primetime squarebill territory for me.  Been loving the Storm Arashi lately

I like a rattle in dirtier water and one without a rattle in clear or cold water.  Also a silent squarebill seems to produce better in pressured lakes as opposed to one with a rattle.

I'm with Mr. Kent on this one.

In south La we can throw squarebills pretty much year around.


fishing user avatarslimshad reply : 

Recieved my KVD 8.0s in the mail an will give them a try Sunday.  I will report the good and the bad monday.

They're big, really big. Been throwing mine on a light swimbait rod kind of big. 


fishing user avatarslimshad reply : 

Threw it on a swimbait rod and felt good about the area.  No takers on the giant squarebill.  I did manage my best two bass of the year on other baits.  Killed a deer sat and caught hawgs on sunday.  Gotta love the fall.  I will put the giant sq bills up til Guntersville this feb.


fishing user avatarDjf3864 reply : 

Was throwing a Storm Arashi 5' this weekend and it was killing the spot we were fishing.  It took a beating through because of the pickerel in the area but that is par for the course when going after LMB I guess.


fishing user avatarWillJ reply : 

i started heavily fishing a 2.5 over rip rap banks horizontally late this summer and would go back over the same bank without rattle if the rattle didnt produce and usually when it didnt it just wasnt the day for it, i don't think that the difference between 1.5 or 2.5 plays a role in the size of the fish either i read that somewhere in the thread. i fish a small private lake often and it is absolutely covered in shad every one has complaint about the action late august early october 2.5 did for me through out that whole time though still working rip rap, shallow flats, and just chasing the shad.
