Strike King Rage Midsize Bug 3.38” Sexy Shad 2.0

The Strike King Rage Midsize Bug in Sexy Shad 2.0 is a compact creature bait built for anglers who need a versatile soft plastic for heavy cover situations. At 3.38 inches, this scaled-down version of the legendary Rage Bug delivers the same proven action in a size that's easier to cast and more effective around dense vegetation, laydowns, and shallow structure. The thin body profile punches through grass mats and slips past obstacles without snagging, making it ideal for pitching to tight spots where larger baits get hung up.

Whether you're working shallow lakes, swamps, or flats choked with cover, the Midsize Bug excels at triggering strikes from bass hiding in vegetation. The Sexy Shad 2.0 color pattern combines natural tones that mimic baitfish behavior in clear to slightly stained water. This bait works equally well rigged on a worm hook for precision presentations or paired with your preferred jig for extra attraction and durability.

Strike King's creature baits have earned their reputation through decades of tournament success and serious bass fishing. The Rage Midsize Bug carries that legacy in a package that's nimble enough for finesse work yet tough enough to handle repeated casts and aggressive strikes. If you've relied on larger creature baits but felt the need for something that punches cleaner through thick cover, this midsize profile fills that gap.
