    I didn’t see it, but sounds like the dice rubber or something like that. Basically a cube with strands of rubber producing, if it’s the same one.

    They showed a close up of it today on live mix and it looked like a ball with spikes

    Not rubber skirt material

    to be honest it looked like what you would see if looking at a virus under a microscope

    $20.00 each! I don't think so!!! Simple bait to make with a few pieces of Zoom plastic, a needle and a silicone spinnerbait skirt tab.

    Was it the Imokemushi Cue Bomb made by Geecrack? I don’t think it’s on the market yet, but should be released some time this month.

    Done it last year and caught a few spawners with it.
