Quick take
A 2.5 inch topwater wake bait with internal clacking sound that creates surface disturbance at speed.
The KVD 2.5 Wake Bait is a 2.5-inch topwater lure that weighs 3/8 ounce and floats. Its angled bill keeps it on the surface, where it throws a wake, and an internal chamber gives it a clacking sound as it moves. It is an option for anglers who want a surface bait that makes noise while fish are working the top.
