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
Buying lures one at a time gets expensive fast, and the Skylety Skylety-1287 Topwater Lure answers that with a ten-piece set for $12.99. The listing lists a spear point design, a small size, assorted colors, and 2.08 ounces of weight for the set. It holds a 4.1 star rating across 363 reviews, with 200 or more sets bought in the last month.
Against the three single-lure alternatives, the value math favors the ten-pack. At $12.99 for ten lures, the per-lure cost lands near $1.30, well under the $6.99 to $9.50 charged for one Rebel F7356, Heddon XO360BB, or Heddon X9225BON. The tradeoff is precision: those three name exact weight in grams and target species like bass, trout, and crappie, while the Skylety set is described only as small and spear point, with weight given for the pack as a whole.
The 4.1 star rating across 363 reviews sits below the 4.6 to 4.7 stars posted by the three alternatives, and the review count is smaller too, though the 200-plus bought-last-month figure is double the 100-plus rate on those three. For anglers who want to test a spear point, small-profile lure across ten pieces and multiple colors before settling on a favorite, this remains a reasonably priced entry point.
Pros
- Ten-piece set for $12.99, roughly $1.30 per lure, the best per-piece value in this comparison.
- 200 or more sets bought in the last month, double the 100-plus rate posted by the three alternatives.
- Assorted colors in one pack, letting anglers try multiple presentations from a single purchase.
- Spear point design and small size suited to a specific presentation style.
- In stock and currently available to ship.
Cons
- 4.1 star rating trails the 4.6 to 4.7 stars posted by the Rebel F7356, Heddon XO360BB, and Heddon X9225BON.
- 363 reviews is fewer than the 1,100 to 1,600 behind each of the three alternatives.
- No target species listed, unlike the Rebel and both Heddon lures.
- Weight is given as 2.08 ounces for the listing without a clear per-lure breakdown.

Performance notes
A spear point design and small size point to a finesse-style topwater presentation, built for subtler strikes rather than the larger walking or prop-bait action described on the Heddon listings. At 2.08 ounces for the set, the individual lures likely sit on the lighter end, closer to the 7 to 14 gram range of the single-lure alternatives than to a heavier casting bait, though the listing does not break the weight down per piece. Coming as a ten-piece assortment in mixed colors also changes how anglers use it in practice: rather than committing to one finish, the pack lets an angler cycle through options depending on water clarity or light without buying separate listings. That flexibility comes at the cost of the detailed technique and species callouts the Rebel F7356 and Heddon models provide, since this listing sticks to weight, size, and piece count.
What buyers say
A 4.1 star average across 363 reviews places this listing behind the three single-lure alternatives, which run from 4.6 to 4.7 stars on far larger samples of 1,100 to 1,600 reviews each. That gap suggests slightly more mixed feedback, though 4.1 stars is still a positive overall rating. The 200-plus bought-last-month figure is the strongest signal here: it doubles the 100-plus rate posted by each alternative, meaning current demand is running ahead of what the total review count alone would suggest. Read together, the pattern points to a newer or lower-cost entry that is moving fast in recent purchases even though it has not yet accumulated the review volume or the top-tier rating of the more established single-lure listings.

Frequently asked questions
How many lures come in the Skylety Skylety-1287 set?
The set includes ten pieces for $12.99 total, which works out to roughly $1.30 per lure. That is well below the $6.99 to $9.50 charged for a single Rebel F7356, Heddon XO360BB, or Heddon X9225BON lure in this same comparison.
What technique does this lure use?
The listing describes it as a spear point design in a small size, sold in assorted colors as a ten-piece set. That differs from the treble hook prop bait style of the Heddon XO360BB or the treble hook walking bait style of the Heddon X9225BON.
Is the Skylety lure a good value pick?
At $12.99 for ten lures, it is the lowest per-piece cost in this comparison, and its 200-plus bought-last-month rate outpaces the 100-plus figure on the three single-lure alternatives, even though its 4.1 star rating sits a few tenths below theirs.
