DeLong 6wkw5p Soft Lures Review
Our verdict
DeLong 6wkw5p soft lures cost $17.99 for 5 pieces and hold a 4.2 star rating across 605 reviews, the smallest review count in this comparison. Built for bass and northern pike on a safety pin hook at 6 inches, it's a specialized rig, but the price and thinner review base make it a harder sell than the cheaper Berkley alternatives nearby.

605 owner reviews, more than most models here
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 rigging up specifically for bass or northern pike, where a lure has to match a particular strike pattern rather than serve as an all-purpose option. DeLong 6wkw5p soft lures are built from plastic and rubber, come as a 5-piece set at 6 inches per lure and 0.2 ounces each, rigged on a safety pin hook, and are sold in multicolor. The set costs $17.99, and holds a 4.2 star rating across 605 reviews.
That 605-review count is the smallest of any lure in this comparison, well behind Berkley GMG-NAT's 2,063 and Berkley EBPHWR's 989. The 4.2 star rating ties Berkley GMG-NAT exactly but sits below Berkley EBPHWR's 4.4 stars and Berkley GMI2-WMPR's 4.6 stars. On price, $17.99 is the highest of the four, roughly three times what Berkley EBPHWR or Berkley GMG-NAT charge at $5.99 each.
With 300 or more bought last month, tied with Berkley GMI2-WMPR for the lowest demand figure in this group, this pick makes the most sense for anglers who specifically need a safety pin hook rig for bass or pike rather than shoppers comparing purely on price or popularity. The specialized target species and hook style are the strongest argument for choosing it over a cheaper, more general Berkley option.
Pros
- Purpose-built safety pin hook rig for bass and northern pike, a more targeted setup than the general Berkley lures
- 6-inch lure size with a 5-piece set for varied presentations
- 4.2 star rating matches Berkley GMG-NAT exactly
- Multicolor set gives options without needing to buy several single-color packs
- In stock and available to order now
Cons
- At $17.99, costs roughly three times more than Berkley EBPHWR or Berkley GMG-NAT, both $5.99
- 605 reviews is the smallest sample in this comparison, far behind Berkley GMG-NAT's 2,063
- 300 or more bought last month ties Berkley GMI2-WMPR for the lowest demand figure among the lures compared here
- Rating trails both Berkley EBPHWR at 4.4 stars and Berkley GMI2-WMPR at 4.6 stars

Performance notes
At 0.2 ounces per lure and 6 inches long, this is a lighter, more elongated profile than a typical soft plastic minnow, built from a plastic and rubber blend and rigged on a safety pin hook rather than the plain J hook used on the Berkley baits in this comparison. A safety pin style rig is a common setup for spinnerbait-style or swim-jig presentations aimed at aggressive predators, which lines up with the listed target species of bass and northern pike, both known for striking larger, actively moving baits. Five lures per set in a multicolor mix gives some flexibility to try different color patterns in a single purchase, though at $17.99 that flexibility comes at a real premium over the single-color, single-technique Berkley listings, which run a third of the price.
What buyers say
A 4.2 star rating across 605 reviews puts this DeLong lure in an exact tie with Berkley GMG-NAT on rating, though GMG-NAT's review base of 2,063 is more than three times the size. The 300 or more bought last month ties Berkley GMI2-WMPR's figure but trails both Berkley EBPHWR's 500 or more and Berkley GMG-NAT's 400 or more. Combined with the smallest review count in the group, the pattern suggests a smaller, more niche buyer base, likely anglers seeking the specific safety pin hook rig rather than a broad audience shopping by price or popularity alone.

Frequently asked questions
What species is the DeLong 6wkw5p designed for?
The listing names bass and northern pike as the target species, rigged on a safety pin hook rather than a plain J hook. That's a more specific setup than the general Berkley soft lures in this comparison, which don't specify that hook style.
Is $17.99 a fair price for this lure set?
It's the highest price among the lures compared here, roughly three times what Berkley EBPHWR or Berkley GMG-NAT charge at $5.99 each. The higher cost buys a specialized safety pin hook rig and named target species rather than a general-purpose bait.
How does the review count compare to other soft lures on this list?
At 605 reviews, this is the smallest sample in the comparison, well behind Berkley GMG-NAT's 2,063 and Berkley EBPHWR's 989 reviews. The 4.2 star rating still matches Berkley GMG-NAT exactly, but the smaller sample size means there's less data backing up that average rating.
