If you arent familiar with Lucky Craft, the first thing you notice is the attention to detail. Im refering to the amazing paint jobs (in our case, Aurora Brown and Table Rock Shad). The bodies of the lure arent flat, instead they have a scale-like texture with grooves lining the side of the body and the font is a molded face with 3D eyes. Lastly, these Lucky Crafts also adorn the signature oval split hook on the top of the lure, and the sharp #2 front and rear Diachi hooks. These big boys are ready for business. 
For those of you that are familiar with the Lucky Craft series, then the above is nothing new to you. The LVR-D15 is on the extreme end of Lucky Craft's line of lipless vibration baits. Its the deepest running of the whole line.
 One thing when you open the package is how loud this bait is. The tungsten bearings inside the body sound more like a miraca than a lure. Why? When the bait is in 15ft of zero visiblity water, it cant be seen, so a fishs lateral lines can detect this bait from a ways away. Dinner bell! In comparison to the MAXX500, which also dives just as deep, you can see the size advantage that our LVR D-15 has on it.
Compared to its D10 counterpart at 2.5" and 3/4 oz weight, the D15 is tipping the scales with the extra 1.5" and extra 1/4 oz mass. This thing is clearly designed by Lucky Craft to attract the attention of big bucketmouths.
