Strike King Ned Ocho 2.5√π 9pk Black Blue Swirl

The Strike King Ned Ocho 2.5 soft plastic bait is a compact finesse option built for anglers targeting bass on a Ned rig. At 2.5 inches, these baits work on light jigheads and paired with small, sensitive presentations—exactly what you need when fish are picky or when you're fishing clear water and shallow cover. This nine-pack in Black Blue Swirl gives you enough baits to work through a productive day without constantly re-rigging, making it a practical choice for serious bass anglers.

What sets the Ned Ocho apart is the formula behind it. Strike King's KVD Perfect Plastics are engineered with a proprietary blend designed to stay on the hook longer and work more naturally in the water column. The soft, supple plastic material responds to even subtle rod movements, which matters when you're relying on small baits and finesse tactics to trigger bites from pressured fish.

The Black Blue Swirl pattern uses Strike King's Open Pour Technology, which allows multiple colors to be mixed during production—giving you a bait with genuine depth and visual appeal rather than a flat, single-tone offering. That color complexity can make a real difference in varying light conditions and water clarity, especially when bass are keying on specific forage.
