Strike King Ned Ocho 2.5√π 9pk Watermelon Red

The Strike King Ned Ocho 2.5" soft plastic is a go-to choice for anglers targeting bass on a Ned rig setup. This 9-pack of watermelon red baits gives you reliable quantity for a day on the water or restocking your tackle box. Ned rigs have become a staple in modern bass fishing—they're simple, effective, and work in a range of conditions—and having quality soft plastics in proven colors keeps you fishing with confidence.

Strike King's soft plastic formula is designed to be both soft and durable, holding up through multiple casts and fish while still feeling natural in the water. The baits are infused with a coffee scent technology that helps mask human odor and can trigger feeding responses. This attention to detail in the plastic blend and scent package means you're fishing with a lure engineered to perform, not just fill a slot in your box.

Watermelon red is a versatile color that works in clear to slightly stained water and performs well across seasons. Whether you're pitching to shallow cover, dragging along a ledge, or working a sparse grass line, these 2.5" baits are sized right for the finesse presentation that makes Ned rigs so effective. Keep a pack or two handy—soft plastics get lost, torn, and eaten, and having backups means you stay in the game.
