Topwater XED031-3-90-AA Topwater Lure Review
Our verdict
The Topwater XED031-3-90-AA pack delivers three 3.6 inch ABS treble hook lures for $7.88, rated 4.2 stars across 218 reviews with 200+ bought last month. It undercuts the single lure Rebel and Heddon options on price per bait, though its rating and review count both trail every alternative in this comparison.

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

Overview
Losing a topwater lure to a missed hookset or a snag happens often enough that having spares on hand changes how confidently an angler can work heavy cover. The Topwater XED031-3-90-AA answers that with three ABS lures per pack, each 3.6 inches and 0.46 ounces, rigged with treble hooks and priced at $7.88 for the set.
That works out to roughly $2.63 per lure, similar to other multi packs but well under the $6.99 to $9.50 charged for a single Rebel or Heddon lure elsewhere in this comparison. The rating sits at 4.2 stars across 218 reviews and bought last month sits at 200+, both real but modest figures next to the four figure review counts posted by the single lure alternatives.
The tradeoff is straightforward. This pack targets bass specifically, same as the Heddon X9225BON, but leans on ABS plastic construction and a lower per lure price rather than the metal or reinforced plastic bodies found on the single lure options. For anglers who want three chances at a bass strike for under eight dollars total, that tradeoff reads as reasonable, even with a review record that has not yet caught up to the established alternatives.
Pros
- Three lures per pack at $7.88, working out to roughly $2.63 per lure versus $6.99 to $9.50 for a single Rebel or Heddon lure
- Treble hook rigging and 3.6 inch, 0.46 ounce sizing built specifically for bass
- ABS plastic construction, a durable material choice for a budget multi pack
- 200+ bought last month, double the 100+ figure posted by all three single lure comparisons
- 4.2 star rating across 218 reviews still lands in solidly positive territory
Cons
- 218 reviews is the smallest sample of the four lures in this comparison, well under the 1,100 to 1,600 for the alternatives
- 4.2 star rating trails the 4.6 to 4.7 stars posted by the Rebel F7356, Heddon XO360BB, and Heddon X9225BON
- Only targets bass, unlike the EXAURAFELIS buzz lure which also covers perch and walleye
- ABS plastic construction may not match the toughness of the metal body used on the Heddon X9225BON

Performance notes
A treble hook rigged topwater bait at 3.6 inches and 0.46 ounces sits in a similar size class to the Heddon X9225BON's 3 inch, 14 gram walking bait, giving it enough mass to cast reasonably well on standard bass tackle. ABS plastic construction is common in budget multi packs because it holds paint and detail while keeping unit cost down, though it typically will not match the toughness of the metal body used on the X9225BON. With three lures per pack at $7.88, anglers get roughly $2.63 per lure, positioning this between the single lure Heddon and Rebel options on price and the larger frog and buzz bait multi packs in this comparison. The bass only target species listing keeps this one narrower in application than lures rated for multiple species, but that focus also means the hook and body geometry are tuned for one presentation rather than several.
What buyers say
A 4.2 star rating across 218 reviews sits at the bottom of the pack in this comparison, both in score and sample size, well behind the four figure review counts posted by the Rebel and Heddon lures. Bought last month of 200+ is double the 100+ level those established options report, though, which suggests recent shoppers are finding this pack appealing even without a long track record. That combination reads as a newer or lesser known listing still building its reputation rather than an established favorite, but current purchase momentum is real. For a bass angler comparing options today, the pattern points to solid but unproven, worth considering for the price gap it offers against pricier single lure alternatives.

Frequently asked questions
How many lures come in the Topwater XED031-3-90-AA pack?
The pack includes three ABS lures, each 3.6 inches and 0.46 ounces, rigged with treble hooks and targeted at bass. At $7.88 total, that works out to roughly $2.63 per lure, undercutting the $6.99 to $9.50 single lure prices found elsewhere in this comparison.
Is the 4.2 star rating a concern?
It is the lowest rating among the four topwater lures in this comparison, and the 218 review count is also the smallest sample. That said, 4.2 stars is still a positive score, and the 200+ bought last month figure suggests current buyers are satisfied enough to keep purchasing.
What material and hook setup does this lure use?
It is built from ABS plastic and rigged with a treble hook, sized at 3.6 inches and 0.46 ounces, and marketed as a bass specific lure. That combination puts it closer to the Heddon X9225BON's setup than the buzz or frog style lures in this comparison.
