Tired of every bass fishing video requiring a $3,000 screen? Today, we are getting back to basics. If you want to know how to fish the wild, weird, and highly effective Coike bait (urchin-style bait) without relying on Forward Facing Sonar (FFS), you are in the right place.

Forward-facing sonar has completely taken over the bass fishing industry, leaving a lot of everyday, budget-conscious anglers feeling left behind. But the truth is, you do not need expensive electronics to catch big bass on modern lures. In this video, I break down exactly how to rig and fish Coike baits the old-school way.

We cover the best hooks, the proper weights, and the simple, screen-free retrieves that trigger massive bass strikes. Whether you are casting from the bank, paddling a kayak, or running a standard aluminum boat, this simple urchin bait setup flat-out catches fish. Get out there, ditch the screens, and just fish!
