Urchins are the hottest thing in bass fishing right now, and for good reason. Those little spiny baits get bit when nothing else will, especially on pressured, clear-water fish and anything you're marking on forward-facing.

Thing is, they're finicky if you don't set them up right. So we broke down the whole deal, swipe through for how to actually fish them and the right rods to pair up.

A couple that'll save you a bad first outing:
Fish light fluoro, heavy line kills the subtle action every time.
Twitch it, then let it fall. Most bites come on the drop.

These are a spinning-gear deal all day. The ZOLO Hover, IKOS Shake 7, and ZOLO Trickster are all dialed for it, entry-level up to tournament-grade. Grab yours at alxrods.com.

What are you throwing your urchins on? Let us know below.

Four days on Lake Erie and the Detroit River, dragging a big tube for smallmouth in heavy current — that's a real test for a rod. Chris put the OXIM Factor through it and it held up: sensitivity down in 18-25 feet of water, plus the power and fast recovery to get a solid hookset when it mattered.

The Factor's built around jig, worm, frog, swim jig, and bladed jig work — good to see it handle a giant tube just as well. That's the kind of versatility we build these for.

Urchin-style baits, dice-style baits, Coike Full Cast, 6th Sense Abstract, Hags Prickly Pear -style baits — whatever version you’re throwing, the rod matters.

The OXIM Factor is a 7’2” Medium Heavy+ bass fishing rod built for this exact lane.

Enough tip to cast and work 19mm–24mm baits cleanly.
Enough backbone to pull fish out of timber, brush piles, and heavier cover when they actually eat it.

Small bait. Serious rod.

This is the finish stage for ALX Rods, and it’s one of the most important steps in building a high-quality bass fishing rod.

We start by applying a two-part epoxy at 125 RPM over every guide wrap and the label.

Once that’s done, the rod goes onto the big wheel and turns for a minimum of five hours. That slow, steady rotation lets the epoxy cure evenly and level correctly instead of sagging or building up where it shouldn’t.

After it cures, we do it again.

Every ALX rod goes through this process at least twice to make sure the finish protects the wraps, holds up to real world bass fishing use, and still looks clean after time on the water. It’s not about rushing rods out the door—it’s about building fishing rods the right way, here in the USA, with attention to the details that actually matter when you fish them.

Memorial Day is about remembering the people who never made it home. It's not about running sales.

Today we pause to honor the men and women who gave everything for this country — and the families who carry that weight every day. They are the ones who have made our country the greatest in the world.

Thank you.

Woke up to a new app logo? You cant say this doesnt pair pretty well with glitter flake bass boats, urchins flashing on forward-facing sonar, "blast off music" at morning take offs, and overpriced gas station energy drinks to get you in gear.
