Another thing temps are around 50-60 here At the moment. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 9, 2012 Super User Posted November 9, 2012 I need to give the KVD 1.5 a try. My go-to is a Norman Fat Boy, Red Ear pattern. http://www.normanlures.com/products/view/2/43 1 Quote
TNBassin' Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 I've got the 1.5 in blue gill. They also make "neon blue gill" which looks good too. Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted November 9, 2012 Super User Posted November 9, 2012 I have had really good success with that color as well in the silent version. The only thing is that after a good bit of use the front treble moving back and forth wears the paint away in a semi circle pattern where the hook contacts the body of the bait .....hasn't stopped me from catching any fish as of yet but it does look weird.

Cranks like that are usually the best ones. Comes from fighting fish rubbing one side of the trebles against it. I LOVE TO SEE THAT ON A PLUG Quote
Silas Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Picked up 3 today at Bass Pro (1.5 and 2.00)......$7.88 closeout! Never tried the bluegill pattern before, but since they had it, I picked one up. I've been having a great time catching them on the 1.5 DD copper model. Bass are hanging close to sunken logs in 4-5 feet of water. I keep returning to the clearance rack.....several .05s, 1.5's are scarce, 2.00, and 3.5's. They don't advertise them since there are only maybe 50 baits left. Cheapest prices I've ever seen. Quote
Super User CWB Posted November 11, 2012 Super User Posted November 11, 2012 I've got the 1.5 in blue gill. They also make "neon blue gill" which looks good too. Neon Bluegill, Natural Bream and Natural Pumpkinseed are killer colors in this bait. I think the last 2 are BPS exclusive but they are awesome. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted November 11, 2012 Global Moderator Posted November 11, 2012 I like the pumpkinseed color in the KVD 1.5 too, they crush that thing. I've got a couple of the LC RC 1.5's in a bluegill color that works really well also. Quote
BassAssassin726 Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 I have that same one and its an awesome bait. Bluegill is the primary forage around here and now in the fall since they've been fattening up on gills they've been crushing that. I've had it for a while, paints worn, bill is chipped, and it still catches lots of fish, size and numbers. Quote
Jake P Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 I need to give the KVD 1.5 a try. My go-to is a Norman Fat Boy, Red Ear pattern. http://www.normanlur...ducts/view/2/43 I saw you holdin' that Piggy on what looked like a 2.5? in Chart/ black back. I throw the same color along with Gizzard and Green Gizzard shad in the 1.5 model and catch quality fish all day long. I have actually done better with the 1.5 than the 2.5. Give em a shot, they might earn a spot right next to those Normans. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted November 12, 2012 Super User Posted November 12, 2012 Ive been using a silent Square bill crank from the 70s , yellow , orange and green , I guess its bluegill color. The bass hit it aggressively. A few times the bass come charging from a distance. Its been by far , my most productive crankbait the past two years. Its so old its new. I picked up these lures from an antique store for .50 each. Its the second from the bottom 1 Quote
