{"product_id":"ding-dong","title":"BQ Otama alternative","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2026 for all it's craziness has done one thing really well. Produce top quality fishing baits. With all the noise about urchin baits this year another top producing lure managed to slip through the gaps. This bait is flat out catching fish and a bunch of them. If there had not been an urchin craze this year the BQ Otama would have been the big bait. But just because the urchin stole the show doesn't mean you can't get sneaky and grab one of these for yourself. The alternative to the BQ Otama was designed to be a slow wake bait but can also be used subsurface. At this time the supply is limited but I am trying to have more for the spring season.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo get the most out of the BQ Otama, anglers \u003c\/span\u003eneed to reel in \u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eslowly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e—only setting the hook once they feel the full weight of the fish.
