The Medusa 2.5” (4 Pack)

The Medusa™ – 2.5” Urchin bait

The Medusa™ is a compact yet aggressive fish-catching bait designed to create maximum underwater movement in a small profile. Built around a 5/8” center ball body and loaded with dozens of flowing appendages, this 2.5” urchin-style bait comes alive with the slightest rod movement, current, or bottom contact.

Whether you’re targeting bass around docks, brush piles, rock, or vegetation, The Medusa’s unique design mimics a variety of forage including crawfish, bluegill fry, gobies, and aquatic insects. The soft tentacles pulse, flare, and undulate naturally, creating a lifelike presentation that triggers reaction strikes from pressured fish.

Best Applications

The unique urchin profile offers something fish rarely see, making it a deadly option when traditional soft plastics stop producing.
