Why is this being called the next trend after urchin baits?
Short answer
Because it answers the same problem from the other side. The urchin bait changes what the fish sees; a neutral compound changes what the bait does after the fish has seen it.
In detail
Both are aimed at pressured fish in water where the angler can watch the fish on electronics.
