Strike King KVD Sexy Dawg Hard Knock

The Strike King KVD Sexy Dawg Hard Knock is a premium topwater walking bait designed with input from legendary bass angler Kevin VanDam. Built to deliver an easy-to-control side-to-side walking action, the Sexy Dawg Hard Knock combines long-casting performance with a distinctive deep knocking sound that helps attract bass and trigger reaction strikes. Strike King lists the bait at 4.5 inches and 5/8 ounce.

The Hard Knock version features a specialized rattle chamber that produces a deeper, more pronounced knocking sound than the standard Sexy Dawg. This added acoustic attraction can help bass locate the lure across open water, around shallow structure, or in conditions where additional sound is beneficial.

Designed to walk smoothly with rhythmic rod-tip twitches, the Sexy Dawg Hard Knock can be worked at a variety of cadences. Its streamlined body helps it cast efficiently while the floating design keeps the lure on the surface where aggressive bass can easily track and attack it.

Whether you're targeting largemouth or smallmouth bass around grass, docks, points, shallow cover, or open-water baitfish, the Strike King KVD Sexy Dawg Hard Knock provides the combination of walking action, casting distance, and distinctive sound needed for productive topwater fishing.
