Overview
Buying topwater lures in a multi-pack changes the math, since the price covers more than one bait and more than one color option. The Heddon PK3X9236-2 comes as a 3-piece set for $16.17, made of plastic in a small size, and ships in Black Shiner, Bone, and Red Head Holographic colors. It carries a 4.6 star rating across 394 reviews, and Amazon lists 900+ units bought in the last month, the strongest recent demand figure among the lures compared here.
Against single-piece rivals, the picture is mixed on price but strong on rating and demand. The Rebel F7356 single lure runs $6.99 with 4.6 stars over 1,100 reviews, the Heddon XO360BB matches that $6.99 price at 4.7 stars across 1,200 reviews, and the Heddon X9225BON costs $9.50 with a 4.6 rating from 1,600 reviews. All three carry more total reviews, but none comes close to the 900+ monthly purchase figure the PK3X9236-2 shows right now.
That combination, a 4.6 rating matching two of the three rivals plus by far the highest current sales pace, makes the PK3X9236-2 stand out even though its per-lure cost is higher once you divide $16.17 across three pieces rather than one. For anglers who want variety in color and a bait that is clearly moving fast, the numbers back it up.
Pros
- 4.6 star rating matches the Rebel F7356 and nearly matches the Heddon XO360BB's 4.7
- 900+ bought last month is the highest recent volume among all four lures compared
- Comes as a 3-piece set in three distinct colors for one $16.17 purchase
- 394 reviews gives a solid, not thin, sample size to back the rating
- Plastic construction with a listed small size and 0.01 ounce weight spec
Cons
- $16.17 for three lures costs more per bait than the $6.99 single-pack rivals
- 394 reviews is fewer than the 1,100 to 1,600 reviews on the three comparison lures
- No target species is specified beyond the general listing of Fish
- Fixed small size and light 0.01 ounce weight limit its use to certain conditions
- Rating sits at 4.6, just under the Heddon XO360BB's 4.7

Performance notes
The listed 0.01 ounce weight and small size point to a lightweight topwater bait built for finesse presentations rather than long-distance casting or heavy cover. Plastic construction keeps the per-unit cost down even with three lures and three colors, Black Shiner, Bone, and Red Head Holographic, bundled into one $16.17 purchase. That variety lets an angler swap colors based on water clarity or light conditions without buying separate listings, which is a real advantage over the single-color rivals in this comparison. The 4.6 star rating across 394 reviews sits in the same range as two of the three comparison lures, so the design appears to hold up to buyer expectations at a similar level, even though the review count trails the more established single-pack options in this set.
What buyers say
A 900+ bought last month figure is the standout number here, well ahead of the 100+ pace shown by the three comparison lures. Combined with a 4.6 star rating across 394 reviews, the pattern reads as a listing that is both well liked and currently in high demand, even if its total review count has not yet caught up to competitors that have been on the market longer. The gap between review volume and current purchase pace suggests this is a rapidly growing listing rather than an established one, which is worth factoring into how much weight to put on the rating.
