Lucky Craft LVR D-15 Review
Lucky Craft’s deep diving lipless bait, the LVR D-15 is anything short of small. This bait requires a long rod and will be fished deep. Weighing in at 1oz (28g), this bait gets down fast, and in great for deep vegetation where the bass hide during the hot summer, and cold winter months.

If you aren’t familiar with Lucky Craft, the first thing you notice is the attention to detail. I’m referring to the amazing paint jobs (in our case, Aurora Brown and Table Rock Shad). The bodies of the lure aren’t 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.
Table Rock Shad and big hooks.
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.
Easy to distinguish when going through the tackle box.
In comparison to the LV 500, which also dives just as deep, you can see the size advantage that our LVR D-15 has on it.
Size comparison: LV500 on top. LVR D-15 on the bottom
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.
Setup: First off, the size of this bait is key to what sizes rod and action you want to use. The longer the better, and you want to stick with something either medium, or medium heavy.
| Rod: | Shimano Crucial 7′ MH |
| Reel: | Shimano Ciica 200D 6:3:1 Ratio |
| Line: | 12lb Yozui Hybrid |
Perfect size for attracting large bass that are hungry for shad
Casting this beast requires little effort and will rocket through the heaviest of winds that mother nature can throw at you. A good 50 yard cast is easily attainable with the drag backed off.
