What is a sea urchin soft lure and what does it imitate?
Short answer
A soft plastic creature bait moulded as a ball of tentacles or spines. It imitates a sea urchin rather than a baitfish, and is fished as a compact, slowly falling object.
In detail
US coverage describes it as a Japanese design with a roughly 20-year history that broke into the American bass market in 2026, where anglers also call the family dice baits or fuzzy dice baits.
