Strike King Ocho 5" 8ct Green Pumpkin

The Strike King Ocho 5" soft plastic stick bait brings a geometry-driven edge to your jerkbait and wacky rig arsenal. Unlike round stick baits that throw light the same way from every angle, the Ocho's eight faceted sides catch and redirect light in multiple directions as it moves through the water—a flash profile that triggers aggressive strikes from bass that have seen conventional soft plastics a thousand times. At 5 inches, this eight-count pack gives you enough baits to get through a full day of experimentation across shallow flats, grass lines, and rocky structure.

The Ocho is molded from soft, salt-impregnated plastic that delivers a slow sink rate, making it equally effective on a jerkbait retrieve or rigged wacky-style on a small hook for a finesse presentation. The slow descent keeps it in the strike zone longer, letting you work it through high-percentage water with confidence. Strike King's salt content and proprietary coffee scent work together to mask the oils and odors that spook pressured fish, extending your productive bites on each cast.

Whether you're throwing this over shallow cover during early morning bites or using wacky rigs to work deeper structure with a slower retrieve, the Ocho's unique profile and soft plastic construction make it a reliable choice for anglers who understand that sometimes a different shape catches fish when everything else has been ignored.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rigs work best with the Strike King Ocho 5"?

The Ocho excels on jerkbait presentations with a standard Texas or Carolina rig, and is equally effective rigged wacky-style on a small hook for finesse fishing. The slow sink rate works in both applications, giving you flexibility depending on water depth and bass behavior.

How does the faceted design actually improve my catch rate?

The eight-sided shape creates a multi-directional light reflection pattern that mimics baitfish scales differently than round stick baits. This flash effect stands out to bass, especially in water where they've been exposed to conventional soft plastics. The geometry alone doesn't guarantee strikes, but it gives you a profile that reads differently to fish.

Is the salt and coffee scent actually going to make a difference?

Yes. The salt content firms up the plastic and increases durability, while the coffee scent masks human oils and odors that can spook cautious fish. These are proven Strike King features that contribute to longer, more productive bites, particularly on pressured water.

How many baits do I get, and is that enough for a day on the water?

Each pack contains eight baits. Depending on how much you lose to cover and how aggressively you work the bait, eight should comfortably cover a half to full day of fishing. Keep a spare pack in your tackle box for extended trips.
