For me its probably a tie between the kvd 1.0, 1.5 and Spro fat John 50.
I gotta say a KVD 1.5 or 2.5.
Anyone fish or tried the LC KJ FLAT SIDED SB? It's suppose to excel in cold and pressured waters with its tighter wobble?
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.
LC 1.5
zoom WEC E1

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

Norman fat boy and KVD 1.5.
MB S-Crank 1.2
KVD!
Save some money and buy the KVD's
Bagley bb2 and a KVD or LC 1.5
Change out the front hook on the KVD's to a short shank or it gets hung up on the bill.
My favorite in no longer made .
SK KVD's and Storm Arashi's ..................I'll probably try the new Berkley Pit Bull's when this coming season.

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?

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.
