Quick take
A 5 in watermelon soft plastic stick worm with extra salt and coffee scent for extended bite and hook penetration.
The Strike King Ocho in watermelon is a 5-inch soft stickbait with an eight-sided body that moves in a wavelike motion as it falls. It sinks slowly, which suits pauses and a long fall, and it has a knife edge point. Anglers rig it weightless, Texas-style or wacky-style for shallow cover and open water.

About this type

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
