Topwater PE018 Topwater Lure Review
Our verdict
The Topwater PE018 Topwater Lure costs $13.50 for a 5-piece ABS pack rigged on treble hooks, and has 700+ bought last month despite carrying zero written reviews. That gap between strong recent purchase volume and no review record makes this a spec-only pick until more buyers weigh in.

Overview
Picking up a new lure listing before it has built a review history is a gamble every angler weighs differently. The Topwater PE018 Topwater Lure is a 5 piece pack priced at $13.50, built from ABS material, rigged on treble hooks, and aimed at bass, striped bass and trout in a medium size yellow finish.
Each of the 5 lures weighs 0.46 ounces, a light build suited to spinning tackle rather than heavier saltwater trolling gear. At $13.50 for 5 pieces, the per-lure cost works out to $2.70, cheaper than the $6.99 to $9.50 charged for the single lure comparisons in this lineup, and closer to a bulk restocking price point than a premium single bait.
What stands out is the review gap. This listing shows a 4.4 star rating attached to 0 reviews, yet 700+ units were bought in the past month, a pace that outstrips the 100+ monthly figure posted by every comparison lure here. That combination, strong recent sales with no written review record, suggests a newer listing that buyers are picking up quickly, but there isn't yet a review history to confirm how it holds up over time.
Pros
- 700+ bought last month is a strong pace, well above the 100+ figure posted by every comparison lure
- 5 lures per pack at $13.50 works out to about $2.70 each
- 0.46 ounce weight keeps the lure light for spinning tackle
- Targets three species (bass, striped bass, trout) in one 5-piece pack
- Treble hook rigging matches the standard setup used on comparable topwater baits
Cons
- 0 written reviews means there is no track record to weigh against the 1,100 to 1,600 review counts on comparison lures
- The 4.4 star figure has no review volume behind it yet, so it can't be verified the way a rating with thousands of reviews can
- Only one color, yellow, and one size, medium, are listed, with no variety to choose from
- As a newer-looking listing, there is less history to judge long-term durability against

Performance notes
Built from ABS at 0.46 ounces, this is one of the lighter lures in this comparison, close to the 7 gram weight of the Heddon XO360BB and lighter than the 14 gram Heddon X9225BON. That weight suits lighter spinning rods and casting to bass, striped bass or trout without overloading the rod tip. Treble hooks, the same rigging style used on the Heddon XO360BB and X9225BON, give a wider hookup zone across the strike but need careful handling around net or hand landing. Five lures per pack in a single medium size and yellow color means less variety than packs offering multiple finishes, but it also means the whole set is built around one proven presentation rather than spreading the buyer across several untested colors.
What buyers say
This listing shows an unusual pattern: a 4.4 star rating with 0 reviews on record, alongside 700+ units bought in the past month, well above the 100+ pace posted by every comparison lure here. A rating without any reviews behind it can't be read the way a rating built on hundreds or thousands of reviews can, since there is no written feedback to confirm what buyers experienced. The strong purchase volume on its own is a real signal of demand, whether from price, the yellow color option, or the 5-piece count, but it isn't yet backed by the kind of review history that makes the ratings on the comparison lures easier to trust.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the Topwater PE018 show a rating with 0 reviews?
The listing displays a 4.4 star average but the review count sits at 0, meaning there is no written review history behind that number yet. It contrasts with the 700+ units bought last month, which shows real purchase activity even without an established review record to confirm buyer experience.
What species does the Topwater PE018 target and what does it weigh?
It is built for bass, striped bass and trout, with each of the 5 lures in the pack weighing 0.46 ounces. That light build, combined with the treble hook rigging and medium size yellow finish, suits spinning tackle over heavier saltwater gear.
How does the price compare to other topwater lures in this lineup?
At $13.50 for 5 lures, the per-lure cost works out to $2.70, cheaper than the $6.99 to $9.50 charged for the single lure comparisons here. It sits closer to a bulk restocking price than a premium individual bait, though it lacks the established review record those comparisons carry.
