The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Imagine a bass boiling under a black silhouette lure at dusk, exactly the scenario the Arbogast G670-02 seems built for. Its plastic body is molded in black and sized at 3 1/2 inches, 5/8 ounce, a shape aimed squarely at bass rather than the multi species targeting seen on some of its competitors.
At $11.99, the G670-02 is the priciest lure in this comparison, running above the $9.50 Heddon X9225BON and well past the $6.99 Rebel F7356 and Heddon XO360BB. That price gets a treble hook setup and a plastic body weighing 0.63 ounces, a build aimed at bass specifically rather than a broader species list. Whether the extra cost is worth it comes down to how much weight a buyer puts on the 4.8 star rating.
That rating is the standout number here. A 4.8 star average across 128 reviews is the highest score in this set of topwater lures, ahead of the 4.5 to 4.7 stars posted by the others, even though its review count of 128 is the smallest of the group. With 100 or more units bought in the past month, the demand pattern looks steady despite the shorter review history.
Pros
- 4.8 star rating, the highest among all four topwater lures compared here
- 100+ units bought in the past month despite a smaller review base
- Treble hook setup for solid hookup on strikes
- Purpose built for bass with a focused 3 1/2 inch, 5/8 ounce plastic body
- Distinct black colorway for low light or silhouette presentations
Cons
- At $11.99, it costs more than the $6.99 to $9.50 range of every alternative listed
- Only 128 reviews, well below the 1,100 to 1,600 logged by the Rebel and Heddon lures
- Targets bass only, without the multi species range of the Rapala F11YP
- Sold as a single lure rather than a multi pack
- 0.63 ounce plastic body may feel less substantial than the 14 gram metal Heddon X9225BON

Performance notes
A 0.63 ounce plastic body at 3 1/2 inches puts the G670-02 in a similar size class to the Rebel F7356 and Heddon XO360BB, though its plastic construction and treble hook setup differ from the balsa and blend bodies used elsewhere in this comparison. Plastic tends to hold its shape and color better over time than balsa, and a treble hook is a standard, widely trusted choice for solid hookups on bass strikes. The black color scheme reads as a strong silhouette against bright skies, a common choice for low light conditions or overcast days when contrast matters more than exact color matching. At 5/8 ounce, the lure has enough mass to cast a reasonable distance without needing heavier tackle, keeping it usable on standard bass fishing gear rather than specialized equipment.
What buyers say
A 4.8 star rating is the highest of any topwater lure in this comparison, standing above the 4.5 to 4.7 stars posted by the Rapala and Heddon models. What stands out is that this rating comes from only 128 reviews, a much smaller sample than the 616 to 1,600 reviews behind the other lures, so the score, while strong, rests on less data. Still, 100 or more units bought in the past month suggests active, current demand rather than a rating built entirely on early reviews. For buyers who weight rating quality heavily, the G670-02 leads the group, but those who prioritize a long, proven track record may lean toward the higher volume alternatives instead.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the Arbogast G670-02 cost more than other topwater lures?
At $11.99, it is the priciest lure in this comparison, above the $9.50 Heddon X9225BON and the $6.99 Rebel F7356 and Heddon XO360BB. The higher price lines up with its 4.8 star rating, the top score among the lures compared here.
How reliable is a 4.8 star rating from only 128 reviews?
It is a smaller sample than the 616 to 1,600 reviews behind the other lures in this comparison, so there is less data supporting it. Still, a 4.8 average from 128 reviews combined with 100 or more units bought last month points to genuine, consistent buyer satisfaction.
What species is the Arbogast G670-02 built for?
It targets bass specifically, according to its listed target species. Its plastic body, treble hook, and 3 1/2 inch, 5/8 ounce size are all sized and rigged around bass fishing rather than a wider range of species like trout or walleye.
