Urchin baits (also heavily known as "Coike-style" or "dice" baits) are spherical, tentacled soft plastic baits. They feature a central round core covered in protruding, bulbed appendages that capture water, causing a hyper-realistic quiver and shimmy as they fall through the water column. This unique profile possesses massive "drawing power," triggering aggressive, instinctive strikes from highly pressured or finicky largemouth, smallmouth, and many other species. The action this bait delivers is second to none, as it’s made out of TPE. You can rig this bait with an urchin Rig or any other method you prefer.
- Made with a custom, ultra-soft TPE formula that delivers an incredibly fluid, pulsing tentacle action.
- Finesse presentations, clear water lakes, and targeting spotted or smallmouth bass.
- Drop Shot Rig: Nose-hook smaller urchin baits using an octopus hook above a light drop-shot weight. Shake your rod tip gently to pulse the tentacles in deeper water or around hard structure.
- Nail Weight Rig: Insert a 1/16 oz nail weight directly into the core, paired with a wacky or weedless hook. This allows for a slow, vertical gliding fall.
- Action & Retrieve: Work the bait similarly to a soft jerkbait by popping or twitching the rod tip, then letting it completely slacken on the fall to let the appendages flare out
