Strike King Ned Ocho 2.5√π 9pk Green Pumpkin

The Strike King Ned Ocho 2.5" soft plastic bait is a compact, versatile option for anglers working shallow cover and finesse presentations. This nine-pack comes in Green Pumpkin, a proven natural pattern that matches crawfish and small baitfish found in most freshwater systems. Built from Strike King's KVD Perfect Plastics formula, these baits deliver the softness and salt content that makes them pliable on the hook and appealing to bass and other gamefish—no stiff, lifeless plastics here.

The Ned Ocho design pairs well with light jigheads and is equally at home in grass, docks, rock, or open water. Whether you're probing tight areas with a slower presentation or casting and retrieving, the compact profile and natural coloring work across a range of conditions. Green Pumpkin holds up especially well in clear to slightly stained water, where that crawfish-like appearance triggers strikes from cautious fish.

Strike King's Coffee Scent technology is worked into the plastic formula itself, helping mask human odor and adding a natural feeding cue that keeps fish interested longer. This isn't a gimmick—it's a practical advantage on pressured water and when fish are being selective. You get nine baits per pack, so you have enough to experiment with rigging options and replace baits as they wear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What jighead size works best with the 2.5" Ned Ocho?

The product facts don't specify recommended jighead weight ranges. Check the package or consult with our staff for pairing guidance based on your water depth and cover type.

Is Green Pumpkin a good color for stained water?

Green Pumpkin is a natural crawfish pattern that performs well in clear to slightly stained water, where fish can see the color and match it to familiar forage. In very murky or heavily stained conditions, you may want to experiment with other Strike King colors.

How many baits do I get in this pack?

Each pack contains nine Ned Ocho baits, giving you plenty to rig multiple presentations or replace worn baits throughout a fishing trip.

Does the Coffee Scent help with bass fishing?

Yes. The Coffee Scent is integrated into the KVD Perfect Plastics formula to help mask human odor and provide a natural feeding trigger. This can be especially useful on pressured water where fish are cautious about unfamiliar scents.
