ES Lures Sea Urchin Dice Lure
The ES Lures Urchin Dice Lure is a unique soft plastic designed to imitate the appearance and movement of a small sea urchin or other bottom-dwelling forage found in coastal saltwater environments. Its compact round body is surrounded by dozens of flexible tentacle-like appendages that pulse, flare, and undulate with even the slightest movement, creating an irresistible presentation for predatory fish. Whether fished on a jighead, weighted hook, or Carolina rig, the Urchin Dice Lure is an excellent choice for anglers targeting inshore saltwater species around structure and current. Available at Frank & Fran's and ships nationwide.
