Strike King Rodent 3" 8ct Okeechobee Craw

The Strike King Rodent 3" soft plastic is a creature bait built for bass anglers who fish heavy cover and want a profile that triggers aggressive strikes. This 8-count pack of Okeechobee Craw-colored baits features the oversized, meaty body and dual tail action that Strike King is known for—a design that works equally well rigged on a jig head or Texas-rigged on a hook. Whether you're working shallow vegetation, timber, or rocky structure, the Rodent's detailed profile and lifelike swimming action stand out in murky water and stained conditions where bass rely more on vibration and feel than sight.

What sets the Rodent apart is the scent profile. Strike King infused these baits with real coffee bean granules and coffee bean oil, giving them a strong, natural smell and taste that encourages bass to commit to the bite and hold on longer. The coffee scent also masks human odors that can spook wary fish. Combined with salt impregnation for added durability and sensory appeal, these baits are designed to keep bass interested even when they're pressured or cautious.

The 3-inch size hits a sweet spot for versatility—large enough to target bigger bass and pull attention in heavy cover, but small enough to cast easily and fish all day without fatigue. The Okeechobee Craw color pattern mimics natural crawfish and creature baits common in bass waters across the region, making it a reliable choice when you're not sure what the bass are keyed on.
