Strike King, New for ICAST 2018
Riding high from Jordan Lee’s back-to-back Bassmaster Classic win, Strike King has a lot to celebrate this year. They recently stopped by the home office and gave us a preview of upcoming new colors, sizes and lures they will be showcasing at this year’s 2018 ICAST. Here are some of our favorites…
Strike King KVD Perfect Plastics Ocho 4”
The one that helped Jordan Lee capture the 2018 Bassmaster Classic on Lake Hartwell, the Strike King KVD Perfect Plastics Ocho has new color extensions this year. Named Ocho, cause it’s got eight sides, this bait delivers awesome action and light reflection. Super soft plastic with a heavy salt content formulation, the Ocho has Strike King’s exclusive Coffee Scent technology which helps mask human scent and oils and attracts fish to bite.
