I know this has been talked about, but I want to voice my opinion about the KVD 2.5's. I haven't caught anything with it, yet it does have one key quality for me. Most cranks I have to stop reeling when they get within the 10 ft range to keep from getting hung in the weeds. With the 2.5 I only have to raise my rod tip while still reeling and it goes right over the weeds. I've tried Bomber model A square bill and Strike King's 4s and both will continue to get mucked up unless I stop reeling and let them float to the surface. The only complaint about the 2.5 vs the others is that they don't seem to dive very quickly.

I'm looking forward to catching some more bass on my KVD cranks!
