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

Overview

Picture working a shoreline or lily pad edge where bass and trout are known to strike at the surface, and reaching for a frog profile lure built for exactly that presentation. This kit includes 5 pieces made from polyvinyl chloride, each weighing 13 grams, priced at $12.23 for the set. The 4.4 star rating spans 1,800 reviews, and 1,000 or more buyers reported a purchase in the last month, the largest bought figure among every lure tracked in this comparison.

Against the three Berkley baits in this group, all subsurface soft lures rather than topwater presentations, this frog kit's price of $12.23 sits above Berkley EBPHWR and Berkley GMG-NAT at $5.99 each, and above Berkley GMI2-WMPR at $6.79. Its 4.4 star rating matches Berkley EBPHWR exactly and beats Berkley GMG-NAT's 4.2 stars, while Berkley GMI2-WMPR still leads the group at 4.6 stars on a much smaller 197-review sample.

What sets this kit apart isn't the rating so much as the volume behind it, 1,800 reviews and 1,000 or more monthly buyers dwarf every Berkley alternative's demand figures. For anglers specifically working topwater presentations for bass or trout, that combination of scale and rating makes it the clear pick over subsurface soft lures that serve a different technique entirely.

Pros

  • 1,000 or more bought last month, the highest demand figure of any lure in this comparison
  • 4.4 star rating across a large 1,800-review base
  • 5 realistic frog lures per kit at 13 grams each
  • Built for topwater strikes, a different technique than the subsurface Berkley soft lures compared here
  • Rating ties Berkley EBPHWR's 4.4 stars while carrying nearly double the review count, 1,800 versus 989

Cons

  • Costs $12.23, roughly double the $5.99 price of Berkley EBPHWR and Berkley GMG-NAT
  • Rating of 4.4 stars falls short of Berkley GMI2-WMPR's 4.6 stars
  • Limited to topwater strikes only, no use as a subsurface presentation the way the Berkley soft lures work
  • Size and color are listed generically as 5-1 rather than with a clear individual measurement

Performance notes

Each frog lure in this kit is molded from polyvinyl chloride and weighs 13 grams, a weight suited to casting into open water around lily pads or shoreline structure where bass and trout key in on surface activity. The listing's own size and color fields are both marked simply as 5-1, which reads as a placeholder rather than a specific measurement or color name, so buyers won't get exact dimensions before ordering. Five lures per kit gives enough variety to try different retrieves across a session, from a slow walk-the-dog action to sharper pops, though the realistic frog profile is built specifically for surface strikes and won't perform as a subsurface presentation. Compared to the Berkley soft lures in this group, which specify a J hook rig, this kit is built around a different technique entirely, so it's not a like-for-like swap.

What buyers say

A 4.4 star rating across 1,800 reviews already reads as strong, but the 1,000 or more bought-last-month figure is what stands out most, it's the highest recent-demand number among every lure compared on this page. That combination suggests this frog kit isn't a niche pick, it's moving in real volume while holding a rating that ties Berkley EBPHWR and beats Berkley GMG-NAT's 4.2 stars. It doesn't quite reach Berkley GMI2-WMPR's 4.6 star peak, but that listing's 197 reviews is a fraction of the sample size backing this rating. Overall the pattern points to consistent, high-volume satisfaction rather than a small group of enthusiastic early buyers.

Frequently asked questions

Is this frog lure kit good for topwater fishing?

Yes, it's built specifically as a topwater frog profile for bass and trout, unlike the subsurface soft lures compared on this page. The 4.4 star rating across 1,800 reviews and 1,000 or more bought last month both support it as a proven topwater option.

How many lures come in the kit and what are they made of?

The kit includes 5 lures made from polyvinyl chloride, each weighing 13 grams. The listing marks both size and color simply as 5-1 rather than giving specific measurements or a named color, so exact dimensions aren't detailed beyond that weight figure and piece count.

How does the price compare to Berkley's soft lures?

At $12.23, this kit costs more than Berkley EBPHWR and Berkley GMG-NAT, both $5.99, and more than Berkley GMI2-WMPR at $6.79. The price difference reflects a different lure type and technique, topwater frog versus subsurface soft plastic, not a direct substitute.
