Strike King Rage Ned Cut-R Worm 3√π 9pk Red Bug

The Strike King Rage Ned Cut-R Worm is a compact soft bait built for finesse fishing on a Ned rig. At 3⅛ inches, this bait scales down Strike King's proven six- and seven-inch Cut-R design into a profile that matches what bass, walleye, and panfish actually see in clear water and hard-fished lakes. The Red Bug color in this 9-pack gives you a natural forage match that triggers bites from pressured fish when standard-size plastics draw nothing but follows.

The flat head and ribbed body work together to generate subtle action and displacement—the ribs create flash and vibration without the bulk that spooks cautious fish. That combination makes the Rage Ned Cut-R Worm a smart choice for drop-shot presentations, light Texas rigs, and true Ned rig setups where downsizing is the difference between a slow day and a limit. The compact profile also lets you fish around dense cover—docks, timber, and grass—where larger worms get fouled or snagged.

Strike King's Rage Tail formula holds up through repeat casting and multiple fish, so you'll get solid durability from each bait in the pack. Stock this in your finesse box alongside your light jig heads and drop-shot rigs; the 3⅛-inch Ned Cut-R Worm is the kind of proven pattern that closes the deal on tough bite days.
