Overview
Picture working a shallow creek stocked with trout and panfish rather than a bass pond, a different scenario than most of the lures in this comparison are built for. The Heddon PK3HD2 ships as a Triple Threat 3 pack for $13.99, made from plastic and weighing 0.08 pounds, aimed squarely at those two species.
At $13.99, it is the priciest lure in this lineup, just above the $13.49 Rebel PK3RB3, though both are sold as 3 packs rather than single lures. The plastic construction matches the Heddon XO360BB, another lure from the same brand, and both share a 4.7 star rating, the highest of any lure compared on this page. Where the PK3HD2 differs is its species focus: trout and panfish rather than the bass targeting common elsewhere in this set.
That shared rating comes with a much deeper review base. The PK3HD2 has logged 945 reviews, more than double the 195 to 616 posted by the single Rapala lures, though it still trails the 1,100 to 1,700 reviews behind the Rebel F7356, Heddon XO360BB, and Booyah BYB38605. With 300 or more units bought in the past month, demand looks steady and well established for a lure aimed at a narrower species range.
Pros
- 4.7 star rating, tied for the highest of any lure in this comparison
- 945 reviews, a deep and well established track record
- 300+ units bought last month shows consistent ongoing demand
- 3 lures per pack for $13.99, about $4.66 per lure
- Plastic construction matches the well reviewed Heddon XO360BB
- Purpose built for trout and panfish, a less crowded niche in this comparison
Cons
- At $13.99 it is the most expensive lure in this comparison
- Not specced for bass, unlike most of the other lures compared here
- 945 reviews still trails the 1,700 posted by the Booyah BYB38605
- No individual per lure pricing beyond the $13.99 pack total
- 0.08 pound weight is heavier than several single lures in this set, which may affect casting feel

Performance notes
Plastic construction puts the PK3HD2 in the same material category as the Heddon XO360BB and Arbogast G670-02, a build generally more durable under repeated casting than balsa wood, though less flexible than the silicone used in the Booyah BYB38605. At 0.08 pounds for what is packaged as a 3 pack, the per lure weight likely lands in a comparable range to the single lures in this set once divided across three baits, though the listing does not break that figure down individually. The species targeting is the more notable spec here: trout and panfish rather than bass, a narrower niche that sets it apart from every other lure in this comparison. Packaged under the Triple Threat name, the set likely varies pattern or color across its three included lures to cover a range of presentations for these species in a single purchase.
What buyers say
A 4.7 star rating across 945 reviews places the PK3HD2 among the top rated lures in this comparison, tied with the Heddon XO360BB and ahead of the 4.5 to 4.6 stars posted by the Rapala and Booyah models. The review count itself is substantial, well above the 195 to 616 reviews behind the single Rapala lures, though still short of the 1,100 to 1,700 reviews logged by the Rebel F7356, Heddon XO360BB, and Booyah BYB38605. Add in 300 or more units bought in the past month, and the pattern points to a lure with a smaller but genuinely loyal customer base built around its trout and panfish focus rather than the broader bass market most competitors chase.
