So what new lure or technique or old lure and technique do you think KVD will make famous in 2011? I think this year will be swimbaits. He's always been known for spinner baits, 2010 was crank baits(lipless all the way to deep divers),  and he's made the sexy shad probably the best known color pattern in today's time. So what tricks do you think the best angler of recent times has in store for us in 2011?

the walking worm

I actually think that he'll win with that stupid swimbait.

Which one? I don't follow along with these guys all that much...

He'll probably just stick to cranks, he seems to be pretty hooked on those.

I don't see him giving up on cranks if conditions will allow them.  Of course if he has to flip, etc.,...............

has he ever flipped?  I think that if he did give up on cranks for a tournament,  people might think he was sick or something.

oh....he flips. lol.

his how-to "pitching to heavy hitters" is must see t.v.

i dont think theres anything he cant do.... he just likes to do things that require the most action and speed. thats his style.

i think thats why he doesnt do as well on "big fish" lakes where draggin 14 in. worms or pitching to submerged brush is the winning pattern. *shrug* make no mistake... he can do it. lol.

however... knowing him he will spend all year trying to master his "weakness" and throw a swimbait in every tourney.

probably win again too......

One time he was big with Jerkbaits

He's going to use the square bills a lot this year.

i think the only time I've seen him flip was in a segment of the Bass Pros.  I don't think there's a segment of fishing techniques that he can't do......if he has to.

KVD won a classic flipping the Louisiana Delta

I think he will throw some kind of deep diving crank that is not out yet. Strike king will release the bait very soon, but not in the color he plans on using. That way everyone will go out buy the lure in all the colors he didn't use, and once the hype settles down they will release the winning color (Just like last year). But who knows what Strike King has up there sleeves. All I can say is I will not get the "Classic Bug" this year and go purchase 1,000 of the winning bait, like I did last year with the Red-Eye shad!

Ah then again I probably will, there's always a need for "Morelures".

he has been pretty big on the squar bills and deep

crank baits pretty hard

One thing is for sure, he will figure out what it takes to get bit, and whatever that is he will use to win a bunch of dollars. His versatility, ability to read water, and his ability to adapt hour to hour is what makes him great.

Regardless of the type of lure.

I agree. But whatever he chooses to catch fish on will see a spike in sales. He could win a tourny with a helicopter lure or banjo minnow and the next day they would sell a million with them. I'm just wondering if he will make a new lure famous or an old lure more famous.

I second that, he seems very hooked!

So do big bass, apparently  ;D.

The new KVD 1.5 and 2.5 square bill crankbaits

x2 on The new KVD 1.5 and 2.5 square bill crankbaits, he is already prasing them big time on the new shoes. 

the walking worm[/quot ;D

there is an existing thread about versatility...

"however... knowing him he will spend all year trying to master his "weakness" and throw a swimbait in every tourney.

that's how one becomes versatile! lol

Will this be the year he finally walks on water??? Some of you act like he already does.  ;D
