TRUSCEND TRUSCEND LXB 0121 Soft Lures Review
Our verdict
The TRUSCEND LXB 0121 soft lures cost $15.29 and hold a 4.5 star average across 10,800 reviews, more than five times the review count of any Berkley bait in this comparison. Six pre-rigged 3.5 inch lures target bass, trout, and walleye. That combination of high rating and massive review volume makes it a strong pick for anglers who want proven demand backing the purchase.

Bass, trout, and walleye anglers who want a J hook style soft lure backed by an enormous review sample, and who don't mind paying more than the sub-$7 Berkley baits for a 6-piece set with named target species.
Skip if
Anyone targeting species outside bass, trout, and walleye, since the listed target species don't cover that ground. Budget shoppers may also prefer Berkley EBPHWR or Berkley GMG-NAT, both under $7 with solid review counts of their own.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Picture heading out to mixed water where bass, trout, and walleye all show up in the same session, and wanting a lure already rigged and ready rather than tying jig heads by hand. The TRUSCEND LXB 0121 soft lures come as a 6-piece set at $15.29, each lure weighing 13 grams and running 3.5 inches, built on a J hook and listed for exactly those three target species. The 4.5 star rating spans 10,800 reviews, an unusually large sample for a soft lure listing.
Set against the three Berkley baits tracked here, none come close on review volume. Berkley EBPHWR runs $5.99 with 989 reviews at 4.4 stars, Berkley GMI2-WMPR sits at $6.79 with only 197 reviews despite a 4.6 star average, and Berkley GMG-NAT costs $5.99 with 2,063 reviews at 4.2 stars. The TRUSCEND listing's 10,800 reviews outnumber the largest Berkley sample by more than five times, even while carrying a higher rating than two of the three.
The one gap here is recent purchase momentum. The bought-last-month figure sits at 0 or more, compared with 300 to 500 or more for each Berkley alternative, so recent buying activity isn't showing up the way it does elsewhere. Even so, the sheer size of the 10,800-review history and the 4.5 star average make this a reasonable pick for anglers who weigh long-term rating data over a short-term purchase count.
Pros
- 4.5 star average across an enormous 10,800-review base, the largest sample in this comparison
- 6 pre-rigged lures per set at 3.5 inches and 13 grams each
- Listed for three named target species: bass, trout, and walleye
- J hook style rig that's ready to tie on without extra hardware
- Rating beats Berkley GMG-NAT's 4.2 stars despite GMG-NAT having a big review base of its own
Cons
- Costs $15.29, more than double the $5.99 to $6.79 price range of every Berkley bait listed here
- Bought-last-month figure of 0 or more is the weakest recent-demand signal among the four listings compared
- Rating of 4.5 stars falls short of Berkley GMI2-WMPR's 4.6, even though that comes from a much smaller 197-review sample
- 6 lures per set costs more per unit than Berkley's sub-$7 single lures

Performance notes
Each TRUSCEND LXB 0121 lure weighs 13 grams and measures 3.5 inches, a middle-ground size built around a J hook rather than a weedless or safety-pin style rig. That size and hook combination lines up with the three listed target species, bass, trout, and walleye, all of which take a moderate profile bait well in open or lightly covered water. Six lures per set means a full pack covers a day of losses to snags or strikes without immediately running out, which matters since a J hook rig without a weed guard tends to hang up more in heavy cover. Against the Berkley comparisons, none of which specify a matching J hook or three-species target list this precisely, the TRUSCEND listing reads as more purpose-built for a specific presentation rather than an all-purpose bait like Berkley GMG-NAT's Target Species: All listing.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star average holding across 10,800 reviews is a striking pattern, few soft lures in this category collect a review base anywhere near that size, and the rating hasn't slipped as the sample grew. That puts it ahead of Berkley GMG-NAT's 4.2 stars despite GMG-NAT's own sizable 2,063 reviews, though it sits just under Berkley GMI2-WMPR's 4.6 stars on a mere 197 reviews. The one figure that stands out as unusual is the bought-last-month count of 0 or more, noticeably lower than the 300 to 500 or more range every Berkley bait shows. That gap suggests recent purchase activity has cooled even though the long-run rating history remains strong.

Frequently asked questions
How many lures come in the TRUSCEND LXB 0121 set?
The set includes 6 lures, each measuring 3.5 inches and weighing 13 grams, rigged on a J hook. That works out to $15.29 for the full pack, more than double the per-unit cost of the sub-$7 Berkley baits listed alongside it.
What fish is this lure designed to catch?
The listing names bass, trout, and walleye as the target species. That's a narrower, more specific list than Berkley GMG-NAT, which is simply marked Target Species: All, so this pick suits anglers fishing specifically for those three species rather than a generic, catch-anything soft lure.
Why does the bought-last-month number look so low compared to competitors?
The listing shows 0 or more bought last month, well under the 300 to 500 or more range for the Berkley alternatives compared here. That doesn't affect the 4.5 star rating built up over 10,800 reviews, but it does suggest recent purchase momentum has slowed even as the long-term rating stays strong.
