Benjamin Graham –
The rig holds the urchin bait firmly even during fast retrieves. No slippage during fishing trips in the bay. Works well with both single and treble hooks.
Olivia Springer –
Stable attachment and easy to use. The curved stopper keeps the bait in place. Slightly harder to insert than expected, but once set, it performs reliably.
Jacob McLean –
Great for targeting species that respond to urchin presentations. The barbs grip the plastic tightly and the rig stays secure throughout the cast and retrieve.
