FAQs:
What is an urchin bait?
An urchin bait is a compact soft plastic featuring multiple appendages that create subtle movement and vibration underwater, making it ideal for bass fishing.
How do you fish an urchin bait?
The most common method for fishing urchin baits is for the angler to snap their rod, then allow the bait to pause. Similar to how one would fish a jerkbait. A drop shot, neko rig, or gika rig are other popular options.
What is the best rig for an urchin bait?
Urchin baits are most commonly fished with a treble hook pierced through the body, or through a spring that is screwed into the body. This allows the angler to keep the bait suspended, or add weight to allow it to sink to the desired depth.
Are urchin baits good for pressured bass?
Yes, urchin baits have become incredibly popular for pressured bass.
Why do bass bite urchin baits?
Bass are incredibly curious, and with urchin baits being very new, bass on pressured lakes are not yet conditioned to the action of these baits. The only way for them to investigate what it is, is to bite it. Other theories include that the urchin bait mimics a bait ball or ball of fry.
