Check price on AmazonBest for
Budget-focused anglers who want a proven, well-reviewed plug for spearfish presentations without committing to the $17.99 to $21.50 price range of the multi-piece plugs, and who are fine with a single 3/32oz lure per purchase.
Skip if
Skip it if you want multiple lures per order, since the Gotcha G300GH-3PK and GOT-CHA G100GH-3PK both ship 3 pieces, or if you specifically need a treble hook or spear point setup instead of this plug's plastic build.

Overview
Spearfish season often comes down to having a lure in the box that will not break the budget if it gets snagged on structure, and at $5.76 the Strike HCBPM-513 is built for exactly that kind of expendable, go-to plug. It weighs just 0.02 pounds, comes in a Fire Tiger color, and is sized at 3/32oz as a single-piece lure.
Price-wise it undercuts every other plug in this comparison by a wide margin. The LUCKY FM110-CIF-714MSD runs $17.99, the GOT-CHA G100GH-3PK is $21.25, and the Gotcha G300GH-3PK tops the group at $21.50, meaning the Strike costs a fraction of any of them. Despite the low price, its 4.5 star rating across 681 reviews holds its own, trailing the LUCKY's 4.7 stars and the two Gotcha plugs' 4.6 each, though its review count of 681 sits ahead of the LUCKY's 612 and the GOT-CHA G100GH-3PK's 546, just behind the Gotcha G300GH-3PK's 744.
Demand sits at 100+ bought last month, ahead of the Gotcha G300GH-3PK's 50+ but behind the LUCKY FM110-CIF-714MSD's 200+ and well behind the GOT-CHA G100GH-3PK's 300+. For anglers who want a well-reviewed, low-cost plug and do not need a multi-piece pack, the Strike HCBPM-513 covers that need at a fraction of the price of the pricier options.

Performance notes
At 0.02 pounds, this plug sits between the Gotcha G300GH-3PK's 0.01 pounds and the LUCKY FM110-CIF-714MSD's 0.04 pounds, a light single-piece build aimed at the 3/32oz size class rather than a bulkier casting plug. Its plastic construction and Fire Tiger color target spearfish specifically, a narrower stated use than the Gotcha G300GH-3PK's general fish target or the LUCKY's treble hook rig, which does not name a species. Being sold as a single piece rather than a 3-pack, it functions as a targeted, replaceable lure rather than a bulk assortment, which lines up with its lower price point relative to the pack-style Gotcha listings. For anglers stocking a box with several small, cheap lures rather than one or two premium pieces, that single-unit, low-weight format is the main practical difference against the heavier, pricier plugs in this comparison.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star average across 681 reviews is a large, steady sample, ahead of the LUCKY FM110-CIF-714MSD's 612 reviews and the GOT-CHA G100GH-3PK's 546, though behind the Gotcha G300GH-3PK's 744. That gives its rating solid weight, even though the LUCKY's 4.7 stars and the two Gotcha plugs' 4.6 each post slightly higher averages. The 100+ bought-last-month figure places it in the middle of the group, ahead of the Gotcha G300GH-3PK's 50+ but behind the LUCKY's 200+ and the GOT-CHA G100GH-3PK's 300+. Overall the pattern points to a well-established, consistently reviewed lure with moderate current buying momentum rather than a breakout seller.
