The Hag's Baits Big Tex Prickly Pear 25mm Urchin Bait is an oversized creature bait designed to target large-caliber bass. Released in July 2026, this soft plastic is an upgraded, larger version of the popular original Prickly Pear design, offering about 30% more presence in the water to draw heavy reaction strikes.
The primary design features, material specifications, and rigging options details include:
Key Features & Design
- Oversized Profile: Features a chunky 25mm center ball that provides a significant target for bigger fish.
- Urchin-Style Design: Covered in multiple fine-tapered, high-action tentacles. These appendages pulse, quiver, and undulate with the slightest water current or rod twitch.
- Resilient TPE Material: Molded from premium, ultra-durable TPE elastomer plastic. This allows the bait to withstand repeated aggressive strikes, letting you catch multiple fish on a single lure without tearing.
- Naturally Buoyant: The floating material ensures the tentacles stand upright and stay active even when the bait is completely at rest on the bottom.
Versatile Rigging Options
According to professional angling retailers like Tackle Warehouse and Mud Hole Custom Tackle, the Big Tex profile is highly optimized for Forward Facing Sonar (FFS) tactics and can be effectively fished using several setups:
- Free Rigs
- Drop Shots
- Jigheads
- Texas Rigs
Color & Purchase Availability
The Big Tex is available across several major regional dealers. Popular colors include Red Dirt Renegade, Rojo Sandia, and Hags Pumpkin.
