Strike King KVD Sexy Frog SFKVD-179 – Watermelon Green Pumpkin Back, 6 1/4-inch Topwater Frog Lure

The Strike King KVD Sexy Frog SFKVD-179 is a purpose built topwater lure designed for both open water and heavy cover. Its fully sealed nose helps minimize water entry, while a free floating rattle adds a subtle, attention grabbing sound on the surface. This lure is crafted under the guidance of Kevin VanDam, aiming to deliver reliable topwater action when fishing near weed lines, pads, or clear edges.

What makes it stand out

• Fully sealed nose minimizes water entry for cleaner false throws and longer casting reach
• Free floating rattle emits a distinct surface sound to draw fish interest
• Designed and approved by Kevin VanDam for open water and heavy cover scenarios
• Hollow body that collapses smoothly for easier hookups and better wetted performance
• Durable big double hook and topwater profile ideal for aggressive strikes

Real world use and technique tips

In thick vegetation or weed mats, the frog can be worked with a walk the dog style motion to tempt wary bass under the surface. On open water edges, a steady or slightly erratic retrieve can mimic a fleeing baitfish, helping the lure play to its surface action. The Watermelon Green Pumpkin Back color provides visibility across a range of water conditions while maintaining a natural look that blends with common bass forage.

• Best in heavy cover: weed lines, pads, and lily fields where surface action draws bites
• Open water use: edges, points, and drop-offs where a surface glide stands out
• Color strategy: the Watermelon Green Pumpkin Back offers contrast and lure recognition in murky to clear water

Why anglers reach for the KVD Sexy Frog

The lure combines a purposeful topwater design with practical features that can help anglers pursue bigger bass without relying on a single technique. The sealed nose, floating rattle, and robust hooks work together to encourage bites while staying reliable through a wide range of light and water conditions. At 6 1/4 inches, the SFKVD-179 presents a balanced profile that suits many bass fishery scenarios, from open ponds to dense lakes with heavy cover.
