Urchin Bait Rigging Tricks! Underwater Footage Of 5 Rigs For Coike + Other Urchins
Urchin baits have taken over bass fishing! What began with the Coike, now encompasses the Uni, the Moeba, and dozens of other similar options. These baits are great for catching fish, but they have some major issues as well. Today we're diving deep into the issues with urchin rigging, particularly bass mortality, and covering 5 rigging methods that will help you solve the problems.
We're covering how to properly rig a frog hook, a treble hook, a quad hook, single hooks, as well as a weighted rig you haven't seen anyone use yet. We're watching underwater to see how weighting and balancing changes these baits, and including detailed notes on the components for each rig.
Below you'll find links to all the baits and rigging components, as well as rod and reel combos to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
