Ocho Is Now Offered in 4 and 6-inch
When our pros asked Strike King for the perfect soft-plastic stickbait, the Ocho was the end result. It was initially offered it in 2 popular sizes, 5” and 7,” which sales and angler feedback confirmed were the right ones.
However, as consumers caught on to the advantages of the Ocho, they demanded more sizes and colors, so the 4” and 6” Ocho were added to the KVD Perfect Plastics line.
“The super-soft formula unique to the KVD Perfect Plastic coupled with the flat, octagonal body gives the Ocho unmatched action as is falls,” says 15-time Bassmaster Classic qualifier Shaw Grigsby. “The new 4” will be awesome when targeting smallmouth and spots, while the new 6” could very well be the perfect size for lunker largemouth.”
The 4” Ocho comes 10 to a pack, while the 6” version comes 6 per pack. They are available in 10 awesome colors including bubblegum and can be found at better fishing tackle retailers everywhere.

Swinging Swim Jig Adds More Movement
Most anglers want their swim jig to look natural and have great action. Strike King Lure Company’s all-new Tour Grade Swinging Swim Jig does all of that and more.
“The all-new Swinging Swim Jig offers an unreal presentation,” says 13-time Bassmaster Classic qualifier Todd Faircloth. “The free-swinging hook allows for more movement of the trailer and almost does away with lost fish. As a professional, I’m always searching for that extra little advantage, and this bait gives me just that.”
The Tour Grade Swinging Swim Jig is available in ¼, 3/8, and ½ oz sizes, as well as 4 different colors. The Swinging Swim Jig can be found at better fishing tackle retailers everywhere.

Strike King Unveils New KVD Deep Diving Jerkbait
Although KVD is renowned for his prowess with several baits few rival that of a jerkbait.
Kevin has successfully adapted his northern jerkbait skills to bodies of water all over the US. In doing so, he has also defined the characteristics that a great jerkbait must possess. Those qualities were refined and designed into the KVD 200 and 300 series of jerkbaits released by Strike King in 2014. The only other aspect that KVD wanted to address in a jerkbait, which was depth, has now been addressed with the newest addition to KVD jerkbaits, the Deep Diving KVD jerkbait.
