Anglers who want five lures in one order across small and medium sizes without buying separate single-piece listings, and who are fine with a rating slightly below the top single-lure options in this comparison.

Skip this if you want the single highest-rated topwater lure available, since the Rebel F7356 and both Heddon single-pack options post ratings of 4.6 or 4.7 with review counts far larger than this listing's 254.

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
A 5-piece set changes the buying calculus versus a single lure purchase, since the price has to be split across multiple baits rather than judged against one. The Topwater AYA002 comes as five treble hook lures for $14.48, available in small and medium sizes in an A Group color option. It carries a 4.4 star rating across 254 reviews, with Amazon listing 100+ units bought in the last month.
Set against single-piece rivals, the AYA002 falls in the middle on rating and near the bottom on review volume. The Rebel F7356 costs $6.99 with 4.6 stars over 1,100 reviews, the Heddon XO360BB matches that price at 4.7 stars across 1,200 reviews, and the Heddon X9225BON runs $9.50 with a 4.6 rating from 1,600 reviews. All three post higher ratings and dramatically more reviews than the AYA002's 254.
What the AYA002 offers instead is quantity and size flexibility in one purchase, five lures across two sizes for $14.48, which works out to roughly $2.90 per lure. That per-unit math is competitive even against the cheapest single rival, but the rating and review gap means buyers are trading some proven track record for volume and variety in a single checkout.
Pros
- Five lures in one $14.48 purchase, about $2.90 per unit
- Available in both small and medium sizes within the same listing
- 4.4 star rating across 254 reviews reflects mostly positive feedback
- Treble hook design matches the hook style used on two of the three comparison lures
- 100+ bought last month shows the listing still moves regularly
Cons
- 4.4 star rating trails the 4.6 to 4.7 range posted by all three comparison lures
- 254 reviews is a fraction of the 1,100 to 1,600 reviews the rivals carry
- No listed target species, unlike the Bass and Trout specs given for competitors
- Bought last month of 100+ ties the lowest tier rather than leading the group
- A Group is the only color option listed, versus varied colors on rival lures

Performance notes
The AYA002's spec sheet lists a 0.46 ounce weight, treble hook technique, and both small and medium sizing within one 5-piece set, which points to a versatile bait meant to cover more than one presentation without buying separate listings. Treble hooks are the same setup used on the Heddon XO360BB and Heddon X9225BON, so the hook style is not a point of difference from those rivals. The five-lure count at $14.48 works out to roughly $2.90 per bait, close to or below the $6.99 single-unit price of two comparison lures once split across pieces. The 4.4 star rating sits a step below those rivals, though it is still a passing mark across a 254-review sample that is smaller but not negligible.
What buyers say
A 4.4 star average across 254 reviews is a respectable but not top-tier result next to the 4.6 to 4.7 stars the three comparison lures post, each with well over a thousand reviews behind them. The gap in review volume suggests this listing has a shorter track record or smaller buyer base to draw from, which tempers how much confidence to place in the exact rating. The 100+ bought last month figure keeps pace with two of the three rivals, so demand looks steady even without the review depth of the more established single-lure listings in this category.

Frequently asked questions
How many lures are in the Topwater AYA002 pack?
It is a 5-piece set for $14.48, offered in small and medium sizes with an A Group color option, which works out to roughly $2.90 per lure across the full set rather than a single fixed per-unit price like some rivals.
Is the 4.4 star rating a concern compared to other topwater lures?
It trails the 4.6 to 4.7 stars posted by the Rebel F7356 and both Heddon single-pack rivals, though it remains a passing rating overall. The smaller 254-review sample also carries somewhat less statistical weight than those larger comparison sets carry today.
What hook style does the Topwater AYA002 use?
It uses a treble hook setup, the same technique found on the Heddon XO360BB and Heddon X9225BON in this comparison, so anglers switching from either of those lures will find a familiar hook configuration already built into this five-piece set.
