Fish a Full-Size Urchin Bait for Bass
When you want more presence from an urchin bait without switching to a conventional worm or creature bait, the Blue Rock Custom Tackle Cabec Urchin TPE 25mm delivers a larger, tentacle-covered profile. Its flexible TPE construction combines durability with movement throughout the bait, while compatibility with several urchin-hook styles gives you options for fishing shallow cover or working through open water.
Why Choose the Cabec Urchin TPE 25mm?
- ✅ Full-size urchin profile: The 25mm body provides a larger alternative to compact urchin baits when you want a more substantial presentation.
- ✅ Movement around the body: Flexible tentacles extend in multiple directions, giving the bait an appendage-driven profile rather than relying on a conventional tail.
- ✅ Durable TPE construction: Stretchable material helps the bait withstand repeated fish catches and handling.
- ✅ Multiple hook options: Compatible with Cabec Urchin Hooks, frog hooks, and treble hooks, allowing you to select a rigging approach for the presentation.
- ✅ Shallow-cover versatility: Pair it with a compatible Cabec Urchin Hook for a weighted, single-hook presentation around shallow cover.
- ✅ Open-water rigging options: Compatible treble-hook configurations provide another approach when fishing away from snag-prone cover.

Real-World Performance
For shallow-cover bass fishing, the Cabec Urchin Hook provides a weighted, heavy-wire single-hook option for working the bait around cover. Its 4/0 Mustad hook is paired with either a 1/8 oz or 3/16 oz head, letting you choose between two available weights.
When fishing more open water, a compatible frog-hook or treble-hook setup offers a different way to present the same 25mm bait. Match the hook arrangement to the cover and check that the tentacles remain free to move after rigging. The larger body also makes this model worth considering when a smaller urchin bait does not provide the profile you want.
Add a Larger Urchin Profile to Your Rotation
Choose the Cabec Urchin TPE 25mm when you want a full-size, stretchable urchin bait with multiple compatible rigging options. Pair it with the appropriate hook for your fishing conditions and keep a different profile ready for your next bass presentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Cabec Urchin TPE 25mm baits come in a pack?
Each pack contains one 25mm TPE Cabec Urchin bait. Hooks and other rigging accessories are sold separately.
Which hooks work with the 25mm TPE Cabec Urchin?
Compatible options include the Cabec Urchin Hook, frog hooks, and treble hooks. The Cabec Urchin Hook uses a heavy-wire 4/0 Mustad hook and is available in 1/8 oz and 3/16 oz weights. Choose the rigging style based on the cover and presentation you plan to fish.
Can I add an insert weight to the Cabec Urchin TPE 25mm?
Yes. Cabec Urchin Spike Weights are designed for urchin baits measuring 19mm or larger. They insert into the bait's cavity and can be secured with a compatible hook. These weights are optional accessories sold separately.
What is the difference between the 25mm TPE Cabec and the 25mm plastisol Cabec?
Both have a nominal 25mm body size, but their materials differ. The TPE version emphasizes stretch and repeated-use durability. The separate in-house plastisol version uses a harder formulation intended to maintain bounce in its tentacles. The plastisol model also offers different sinking characteristics and compatibility with conventional lure dyes and scents.
How should I store the Cabec Urchin TPE 25mm?
Keep the bait in its original packaging and separate from conventional plastisol soft plastics unless material compatibility is confirmed. Some TPE and plastisol formulations can react when stored together, potentially damaging the baits.
