Bassdash BASSDASH00 Topwater Lure Review
Our verdict
The Bassdash BASSDASH00 Topwater Lure runs $22.98 for a three-piece, 7-inch, 2.2-ounce set in alloy steel and rubber, and it holds a 4.3 star average across 712 reviews with 200 or more bought last month. It costs more per lure than the smaller single-piece alternatives here, but the larger 7-inch profile and multi-material build target a different, bigger-bait use case.

Anglers targeting bigger bass or other larger predatory fish who want a full-size, 7-inch swimbait-style topwater lure with a mixed alloy steel, rubber, and stainless build, and who do not mind paying more per lure for that scale.
Skip if
Skip it if you fish smaller water or target panfish and trout, where the 3/32-ounce Rebel F7356 or 1/4-ounce Heddon XO360BB fit better, or if $22.98 for three lures feels steep next to $6.99 single-lure options.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
A day chasing bigger bass calls for a bait with some heft, and the Bassdash BASSDASH00 Topwater Lure is built for that. It measures 7 inches and weighs 2.2 ounces, built from a mix of alloy steel, rubber, and stainless steel, and it ships in the White Shad plus Threadfin plus Blue Gold color combination as a three-piece set. At $22.98, it carries a 4.3 star rating across 712 reviews, with 200 or more sold in the last month.
Set against the three single-piece alternatives in this category, the Bassdash stands apart on size alone. The Rebel F7356 weighs 9.07 grams, the Heddon XO360BB weighs 7 grams, and the Heddon X9225BON weighs 14 grams, all well under an ounce. The Bassdash at 2.2 ounces, or roughly 62 grams, is built for a different scale of strike, and its mixed metal and rubber construction differs from the plastic or metal single-material bodies of the smaller lures.
The tradeoff shows up in the review numbers. The 712 reviews and 200-plus monthly buy rate trail the three alternatives, which each post 1,100 to 1,600 reviews and 100-plus monthly purchases, and the 4.3 star average is the lowest of the four listings. At $22.98 for three lures, it is priced for anglers who want the bigger 7-inch profile specifically, not as a straight swap for the smaller single-lure options.
Pros
- 7-inch, 2.2-ounce profile, the largest size in this comparison by a wide margin.
- Three-piece set in the White Shad plus Threadfin plus Blue Gold color combination, giving three presentations per purchase.
- Mixed alloy steel, rubber, and stainless steel build, a different construction than the single-material plastic or metal bodies of the alternatives.
- 712 reviews at a 4.3 star average, a sizable sample for a specialty large-format lure.
- 200 or more bought in the last month, ahead of the 100-plus rate on two of the three alternatives.
Cons
- $22.98 is the highest price in this set, more than three times the $6.99 alternatives.
- 4.3 star average is the lowest rating among the four topwater lures compared.
- 712 reviews is fewer than the 1,100 to 1,600 posted by the three alternatives.
- No listed target species or hook technique on the page.

Performance notes
At 7 inches and 2.2 ounces, the Bassdash BASSDASH00 sits well above the sub-ounce weights of the Rebel F7356, Heddon XO360BB, and Heddon X9225BON, which run from 7 to 14 grams. That extra mass and length point toward a bigger-water, bigger-fish application, since a heavier topwater bait casts farther and displaces more water on the retrieve than a small prop bait or walking bait. The alloy steel, rubber, and stainless steel construction also differs from the single-material plastic or metal bodies of the alternatives, suggesting a jointed or segmented build rather than a solid one-piece lure, though the listing does not spell out the exact joint count. The three-piece set in White Shad, Threadfin, and Blue Gold gives anglers three finish options to match water clarity or forage without buying three separate listings.
What buyers say
A 4.3 star average across 712 reviews is a solid but not exceptional pattern, sitting a few tenths below the 4.6 to 4.7 stars posted by the three smaller alternatives. That gap, combined with a review count roughly half to a third of the others, suggests a smaller but still meaningful buyer base, one likely drawn to the larger 7-inch format rather than a general audience. The 200-plus bought-last-month figure is double the 100-plus rate on the alternatives, which points to active, ongoing demand even without the largest total review pile. Read together, the pattern fits a specialty product: fewer total buyers than a mainstream small lure, but a rating and purchase rate that hold up fine within that narrower niche.

Frequently asked questions
How big is the Bassdash BASSDASH00 Topwater Lure?
It measures 7 inches and weighs 2.2 ounces per the listing, built from alloy steel, rubber, and stainless steel. That makes it noticeably larger than the Rebel F7356, Heddon XO360BB, and Heddon X9225BON in this comparison, which weigh between 7 and 14 grams, roughly a quarter ounce or less.
Is $22.98 a fair price for this lure?
It is the highest price among the topwater lures compared here, but it also comes as a three-piece set in three color patterns and at a much larger 7-inch size, so the per-lure cost reflects more material and scale, not just a markup on the same small lure format.
Does it have a lower rating than similar lures?
Yes, it holds a 4.3 star average across 712 reviews, below the 4.6 to 4.7 stars posted by the Rebel F7356, Heddon XO360BB, and Heddon X9225BON. Its bought-last-month figure of 200 or more, though, runs ahead of the 100-plus rate on those three.
