Urchin-style tentacled threat

Cave Prickly Star

The Cave Prickly Star is an urchin-style creature bait with a buoyant center ball and dozens of thin, whipping tentacles that quiver on the slightest movement. It stands up off the bottom, taunts pressured bass into striking, and keeps working long after other baits die. Flip it, drag it, pin it to a jig, or throw it on a Ned rig and watch it come alive.
