KVD 1.5 Deep	<br>
Strike King<br>
$7.49<br>
For the past several years, the No. 1 selling shallow crankbait in the world has been the KVD 1.5 squarebill. It's popularity was solidified when KVD proved its effectiveness to the world with his 2011 Bassmaster Classic win on the Louisiana Delta. Since then, it has become a tool responsible for countless wins and high finishes from club tournaments to the biggest stages in the sport every single week. The bait has evolved into four other sizes that are also winning options. But Kevin has secretly been working behind the scenes for the past few years on a new 1.5 project. He dreamed of getting his signature crankbait to depths that no other squarebill could reach. After years and many versions of prototypes, Strike King is excited to introduce the all-new KVD 1.5 Deep.
 <br><BR>
“There is nothing that triggers bites like the hunting action of a 1.5. It has the perfect profile and unique action that gets bites everywhere. If there is a problem with it, its that it has been limited to the shallower ranges of bass habitat. But that is no longer the case,” explains four-time Bassmaster Classic Champion Kevin VanDam. “We’ve worked hard on getting the 1.5 Deep to maintain the perfect action yet dive to 10 feet. It will be a total game changer. We’ve basically extended the range and seasonality of one of the best baits ever built,” KVD added.

KVD Mega Dawg<br>	
Strike King<br>	
$14.99 <br>
When the Strike King pros came to us asking for a new topwater, we told them that it was up to them to make it perfect. Through much testing and design, the finished product got the stamp of approval from the man himself, Kevin VanDam. The Sexy Dawg was born and has fast become a favorite of our pros and bass anglers everywhere due to it’s incredible walking action and unique sound. After a year of employing it to pursue big bass all across the country, KVD approached our design team with a new concept. One that would make the Sexy Dawg a better target for the biggest fish. That concept has become reality in the all-new KVD Mega Dawg.
 <br><br>
“If I’ve learned anything in my time on tour it’s that big bass prefer to eat a big meal. They expend the same energy to eat a small meal as a big one, and a predator like a giant largemouth knows how to maximize their energy. The Mega Dawg perfectly mimics the big, wounded prey that giant bass can’t resist,” says 25-time event winner Kevin VanDam. “The Mega Dawg’s size makes it cast great, it walks wide and it’s loud. It is basically designed to appeal to the senses that make a big bass mess up. If you want to catch the biggest bass where you fish, show them the Mega Dawg.” KVD adds.
 <br><br>
The all-new KVD Mega Dawg is six inches in length and weighs in at two ounces. It comes in 10 whopper-fooling finishes. It retails for $14.99 and will be available at better fishing tackle retailers everywhere.

How exactly does one remake a classic, already exceptional bass bait? That’s the self-imposed question the tackle techs at Z-Man asked themselves about a year ago, as they stood before a big white drawing board.

The objectives were clear: To re-engineer a new breed of spinnerbait. To optimize wire material, bend and metal blades so they reverberate perfect bass music—those powerful, low-frequency vibrations fish perceive and attack via lateral line. And to imbue the spinnerbait with a talent for tracking straight as an arrow at all times and at any retrieve speed. Plus, a few more goodies up its sleeve.
