Leave enough hook gap for a clean hookset without crowding the short body. Choose an exposed or guarded hook to suit the cover you are fishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with a slow fall, then use short drags, small hops, and pauses near bottom. Keep rod movements restrained; the aim is to move the bait through a small area rather than pull it several feet with every lift. Adjust head weight to maintain useful contact in the depth and current.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere bottom cover makes dragging difficult, try a slow swim just above it with occasional pauses. Watch for line movement or a change in pressure, recover slack, and set the hook with controlled pressure. Match the complete rigged weight to your rod's lure rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStorage and Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck the nose for tearing after a fish or snag and re-rig or replace the bait if it no longer stays secure. Keep unused baits in their original packaging, away from excessive heat and separately from other soft-bait materials unless compatibility is confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tom's Bait and Tackle","offers":[{"title":"Watermelon Red Flake","offer_id":50957066338523,"sku":"NOCHO-18","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Pumpkin","offer_id":50957066371291,"sku":"NOCHO-50","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bama Craw","offer_id":50957066404059,"sku":"NOCHO-101","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue Craw","offer_id":50957066436827,"sku":"NOCHO-108","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/5320\/7003\/files\/sk_ned_ocho_watermelon_red_flake_18.png?v=1793159664","url":"https:\/\/www.reelfishcartel.com\/products\/strike-king-ned-ocho","provider":"ReelFishCartel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
