Strike King Ocho 5" 8ct June Bug

The Strike King Ocho 5" stick bait is a multi-faceted soft plastic lure that brings serious flash and action to your bass fishing. Unlike traditional round-bodied soft plastics, the Ocho's eight-sided design catches and reflects light from multiple angles as it moves through the water, creating a prismatic flash that bass find hard to ignore. It's the kind of detail that separates a consistent producer from just another bait in your tackle box—and it's why this lure has earned respect on lakes across the country.

Strike King engineered the Ocho with a slow sink rate, which makes it remarkably versatile. You can fish it on a jerkbait retrieve for a wounded-baitfish presentation, or rig it wacky-style on a 1/0 hook for a slow, finesse approach that works when bass are keyed in on smaller forage. The 5-inch size hits that sweet spot for both reaction bites and situations where you need something scaled down but still substantial enough to throw on moderate tackle. Each pack contains 8 baits, so you've got enough to experiment with rigging styles and colors.

The lure is molded from supersoft, salt-impregnated plastic that feels right in the water and gives bass something worth holding onto. Strike King also infused their KVD Perfect Plastics formula with a coffee scent designed to mask human scents and oils—a detail that sounds small until it's the difference between tentative bumps and committed strikes. The June Bug color is a go-to choice that imitates natural forage across seasons.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I rig the Strike King Ocho 5"?

The Ocho's versatile design works well on a jerkbait retrieve or rigged wacky-style. The slow sink rate supports both presentations, so your choice depends on the conditions and bass behavior on the day.

What makes the eight-sided shape different from round soft plastics?

The faceted sides reflect light in multiple directions as the lure moves, creating a flash effect similar to how a cut gemstone reflects light differently than a smooth, round surface. That prismatic effect is what catches bass attention.

Is the June Bug color good for year-round fishing?

June Bug is a productive color choice across seasons, imitating natural forage bass feed on. Effectiveness always depends on local conditions and prey species, so consider it a reliable baseline in your color selection.
