Overview
Walleye trips often mean rigging a jig or live-bait style presentation that needs a consistent, natural-colored trailer. The Berkley PBBPNC6-NAT is a 6 inch soft lure sold as a 13 count pack in Natural color, rigged for J Hook technique, and priced at $5.94, the lowest price of any lure in this comparison. The listing lists the material as Metal, which stands out against the blend, plastic, and gel materials used on the other lures referenced here.
At 4.5 stars across 809 reviews, the rating matches the Berkley GMIG3-PW's 4.5 but with a far larger review base, and it sits below the Yamamoto D-Shad and GMI2-WMPR's 4.6. Its 600+ units bought last month ties it with the Fishbites 88 and Yamamoto D-Shad for the top purchase figure in this comparison, a strong result for the least expensive item in the group.
For walleye anglers on a budget, this pack combines the lowest price point in the comparison with demand and rating figures that hold up against pricier alternatives. Anglers targeting other species, or those who prefer a plastic or blend construction over the listed Metal material, may want to weigh the other options here first.
Pros
- Priced at $5.94, the lowest price point of any lure in this comparison.
- 600+ units bought last month ties it for the top demand figure in this comparison.
- 4.5 star rating across 809 reviews, a solid sample size to back the rating.
- 13 count pack means more replacement lures per purchase than several single-piece alternatives.
- J Hook technique listing tells anglers exactly how it is meant to be rigged.
- Specifically targets Walleye, useful for anglers fishing that species.
Cons
- Listed material is Metal, different from the blend, plastic, and gel construction used on every other lure in this comparison.
- 809 reviews, while solid, is well below the 3,671 and 3,046 counts on the top-reviewed alternatives here.
- Only available in Natural color per this listing.
- Narrow species targeting toward Walleye may not suit anglers fishing other water.

Performance notes
The PBBPNC6-NAT is rigged for J Hook technique, which is a straightforward setup rather than a specialty rig, and it comes as a 13 count pack at 6 inches per piece, a size that sits between the compact 2.5 to 3 inch Berkley grubs and the larger 7 inch PBBPW7-PS in this comparison. The listing records the material as Metal, a notable difference from the blend, plastic, and gel materials used on the rest of the lures referenced here, and worth double-checking against the product photos before rigging expectations are set. Natural color is a neutral, low-visibility tone that tends to get picked for clear water or pressured fish where a bright presentation can spook a bite. At 0.02 pounds, the total pack weight is light, consistent with a soft lure format rather than a jig head or weighted rig.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star average across 809 reviews puts this in the middle of the pack for review depth, well ahead of the zero reviews on the Berkley GMIG3-PW but behind the 2,063 to 3,671 range on the higher-volume listings. What stands out is the 600+ units bought last month at the lowest price point in this comparison, $5.94, a combination that suggests strong value-driven demand from walleye anglers rather than premium positioning. The pattern reads as a steady, budget-friendly seller rather than a runaway bestseller, with enough review volume to trust the 4.5 average as representative.
