Hag's Prickly Pear
floating tentacled urchin-style bait; maker suggests flip/drag/jig/Ned
The bait
| Style | urchin · floating central ball with thin whipping tentacles; stands up on the bottom |
|---|---|
| Sizes | 9.9mm (2-pack) · 19mm (1-pack) |
| Material | TPE floating plastic |
| Buoyancy | floating |
| Rigs | ned · jig |
Rigging rule: the hook needs to be larger/wider than the central ball of that kind of bait; if the hook doesn't extend beyond that central ball, you will lose fish or miss your hookset
Field notes (owner observations)
- owner buoyancy: neutral — TPE urchin baits weigh a bit but won't sink unless weighted (maker copy says 'floating')
