Overview
A prop bait earns its place in a bass and crappie angler's box on calm mornings when a small, splashy surface disturbance draws more strikes than a big walking bait, and the Heddon XO360BB Tiny Torpedo is built for that role. It's a plastic-bodied lure weighing 7 grams, sized at 1/4 oz and 1 7/8 inches, rigged with a treble hook and finished in Baby Bass color, priced at $6.99.
Among the four topwater lures in this comparison, the XO360BB posts the highest rating with a meaningful sample, 4.7 stars across 1,200 reviews, ahead of the Rebel F7356's 4.6 stars over 1,100 reviews and the Heddon X9225BON's 4.6 stars over 1,600 reviews. It ties the X923614's 4.7 average, but that listing has 0 reviews on record, making the XO360BB's rating the more trustworthy of the two 4.7 scores. It also ties the F7356 as the cheapest option at $6.99, undercutting the $9.50 X9225BON and $8.99 X923614.
For bass and crappie anglers who want a small, light prop bait with the strongest proven rating in this set at the lowest price, the XO360BB is the standout on paper. Anglers set on trout compatibility or a heavier, larger-profile walking bait should look at the F7356 or the Heddon walking baits instead.

Performance notes
At 7 grams and 1/4 oz sized to 1 7/8 inches, the Tiny Torpedo is the smallest and lightest lure among the four topwater options compared, noticeably under the 9.07 gram F7356, the 14 gram X9225BON and the roughly 20 gram X923614. That smaller mass typically means a lighter cast and a subtler surface disturbance, which fits its billing as a prop bait rather than the larger walking-style builds of the Zara Puppy and Super Spook Jr listed for the Heddon comparisons. The treble hook setup differs from the J hook on the Heddon X923614, and the plastic body is a lighter-weight construction than the metal bodies on the X9225BON and X923614. Baby Bass coloring targets a natural baitfish look rather than the insect-mimicking Summer Hopper pattern on the F7356, suggesting a presentation built around imitating small fish rather than surface bugs.
What buyers say
A 4.7 star average across 1,200 reviews is the strongest combination of rating and sample size in this comparison. The Heddon X923614 matches the 4.7 rating but shows 0 reviews, which makes the XO360BB's score the more dependable of the two. The Rebel F7356, 4.6 stars and 1,100 reviews, and Heddon X9225BON, 4.6 stars and 1,600 reviews, both sit slightly behind on rating despite solid review counts of their own. Bought-last-month for the XO360BB sits at 100 plus, matching the F7356 and X9225BON but trailing the X923614's 400 plus. Overall, the pattern points to a well-established, consistently rated lure rather than a fast-rising newer listing.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Heddon XO360BB's 4.7 star rating trustworthy?
Yes, it's backed by 1,200 reviews, a large enough sample to be reliable. That's different from the Heddon X923614, which also shows 4.7 stars but has 0 reviews on record, meaning the XO360BB's score has far more data behind it.
What fish does the Tiny Torpedo target?
It's listed for bass and crappie, using a treble hook and Baby Bass coloring. That's a different target list than the Rebel F7356, which covers bass and trout, and the Heddon X9225BON and X923614, both listed for bass only, with no crappie listing on either.
How does the Tiny Torpedo's size compare to the other Heddon topwater lures?
At 7 grams and 1 7/8 inches, it's smaller and lighter than the Heddon X9225BON, 14 grams and 3 inches, and the Heddon X923614, about 20 grams. Its lighter build fits a prop bait role rather than the larger walking-bait profile of those two.
