For me its probably a tie between the kvd 1.0, 1.5 and Spro fat John 50.


fishing user avatarACORO reply : 

I gotta say a KVD 1.5 or 2.5. 


fishing user avatarTxHawgs reply : 

Anyone fish or tried the LC KJ FLAT SIDED SB? It's suppose to excel in cold and pressured waters with its tighter wobble?


fishing user avatarFishes in trees reply : 

Timber Tigers in various sizes and colors.   I use the DC 8 the most and the DC 4 the next most.  I own a number of DC5's, but I don't fish that size all that much.  Their version of Texas Shad is my first choice, but I own many different colors of this bait.   Their version of the

Strike King Sexy Shad color is a decent choice for nearly all water colors.

Last year it was a KVD 2.5 in bluegill, it absolutely tore them up 


fishing user avatarKDW96 reply : 

The kvd 1.5 and also the 1.0

I had tremendous luck with the 1.0, many times this past year. It is smaller than a 1.5, but dont let its size fool you. Its a big fish catcher.

fishing user avatarRangerDanger reply : 

Change out the front hook on the KVD's to a short shank or it gets hung up on the bill.

I have at least 8 of the 1.0 never fished them and not sure why I bought em lol. And now that I live in Tx and live by Fork I'm not sure I ever will. What setup do you throw them on?

fishing user avatarblckshirt98 reply : 

KVD 1.0-2.5 in either Sexy Shad or Ghost Bluegill did well for me last year.  Of course a part of that is because I'm scared to throw other squarebills that cost 2-3x as much.  Could probably have done well on other brands if I threw them!

WEC is a division of zoom.

One of the best shallow running balsa square bills to fish in and around cover.

When they first came out I bought 2 of each size and have fished them both.  I started out throwing the 1.2 (for reasons unknown) but immediately did very well.  I threw the 1.5 (runs a tad deeper) and just didn't get bit.  So I lost confidence in it compared to the 1.2 and just threw the heck out of it last year.  Now I don't know why it produced better, while I probably didn't give it it's fair share I'll stick with the 1.2's.  Added the color Fire craw this winter - looks AWESOME, I really like the texture.  The 1.2 caught my PB for the Potomac this fall.
