Strike King KVD Crankbaits Are 50% Off — Stock Up Before Spring Bass Season Gets Serious
If your tackle box is looking a little thin heading into spring, Bass Pro Shops just handed you a reason to fix that. Right now during their Spring Fishing Sale, Strike King KVD Elite Squarebill Crankbaits are ringing up at just $6–$8 depending on size — that’s 50% off the regular price. Shipping is free when you hit $50, so grab a handful and you’re covered.
Why This Deal Is Worth Your Attention
The Strike King KVD Elite Squarebill isn’t some no-name lure you toss in the cart and forget about. This bait was designed in collaboration with Kevin VanDam — a four-time Bassmaster Classic champion — specifically for targeting largemouth bass in shallow, rocky, and wood-heavy cover. The square bill design deflects off structure instead of snagging, which means more time fishing and fewer frustrated casts into a log pile.
At full retail, these run $12–$16 depending on where you shop. Getting them at $6–$8 is the kind of price you’d expect on a clearance bin knockoff, not a tournament-proven bait. For spring bass fishing — when fish are moving shallow to spawn and actively feeding — this is exactly the lure profile you want tied on.
Who Should Jump on This
This deal is a no-brainer for a few different types of anglers:
- Weekend bass fishermen who fish lakes, ponds, and rivers in the South and Midwest — squarebills are ideal for the shallow flats and timber-heavy banks that define spring bass habitat across Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, and the Carolinas.
- Parents fishing with kids — crankbaits are beginner-friendly. Cast, reel, repeat. No technique required, and the action does the work.
- Tournament anglers stocking up before the season heats up — buying five or six at this price is less than what you’d pay for two at full retail.
- Gift buyers — a few of these tucked into a tackle bag make a genuinely useful gift for the angler in your life.
How It Stacks Up
For comparison, Rapala’s comparable shallow crankbaits typically run $8–$12 even on sale, and generic squarebills from lesser-known brands often land at $5–$7 without the track record. At $6–$8, the KVD Elite is priced at the bottom of the market while sitting at the top in terms of quality. It’s a rare overlap.
A Few Things to Know Before You Buy
Sale inventory at Bass Pro can move fast — especially on proven baits like these during peak spring season. Colors and sizes may vary by location, and popular options (chartreuse/black back, sexy shad) tend to go first. If you’re shopping in-store, check your local Bass Pro Shops — locations in Houston, Nashville, Atlanta, and Charlotte have historically been well-stocked for spring sales, but it’s worth calling ahead if you’re making a special trip.
The free shipping threshold is $50, so if you’re only grabbing one or two, either add a few more to hit the threshold or plan an in-store run. No listed expiration date on the sale, but Spring Fishing Sales at Bass Pro typically run through late March or early April — don’t wait on this one.
