Bassdash BC1005 Topwater Lure Review
Our verdict
The Bassdash BC1005 costs $19.98 for one treble hook lure, more than double the price of the Rebel F7356 or Heddon XO360BB at $6.99 each. Its 4.2 star rating across 357 reviews is respectable, but the listed bought last month figure of 0+ trails the 100+ level reported by every alternative in this comparison.

Anglers who specifically want the Bassdash brand and the BC1005's single size, BGSP color, treble hook setup, and are comfortable paying $19.98 for one lure rather than several from a lower priced multi pack.
Skip if
Skip it if price per lure matters, since $19.98 is the highest in this comparison by a wide margin, and the 0+ bought last month figure suggests far less recent purchase activity than the 100+ level posted by every other lure 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
A single premium topwater lure can make sense when an angler wants one specific action or color pattern rather than a grab bag of options. The Bassdash BC1005 fits that niche as a single treble hook lure at 0.34 ounces, one size, in the BGSP color pattern, priced at $19.98.
That price sits well above every other lure in this comparison, more than double the $6.99 to $9.50 charged for the single lure Rebel and Heddon options, and roughly ten times the per lure cost of the multi lure frog and buzz bait packs. The rating holds up reasonably well at 4.2 stars across 357 reviews, a review count larger than two of the multi packs in this comparison. Where it falls short is the bought last month figure, listed at 0+, compared to the 100+ level reported for the Rebel F7356, Heddon XO360BB, and Heddon X9225BON.
That combination, a solid rating with a larger review history but minimal recent purchase activity, points to a lure with an established but currently quiet following. At $19.98 for one lure, buyers are paying a clear premium relative to every alternative here, and the current sales pace does not show the same momentum the lower priced multi packs and single lure Heddon and Rebel baits are seeing right now.
Pros
- 4.2 star rating holds up across 357 reviews, a larger sample than two of the multi packs in this comparison
- Treble hook rigging at 0.34 ounces gives a defined single lure presentation
- 357 reviews is a meaningful, established track record for a single lure listing
- Specific BGSP color pattern for anglers who want that exact presentation
- Sits in the same light 0.34 ounce weight class as the EXAURAFELIS buzz lure, a familiar feel for anglers used to subtler topwater baits
Cons
- At $19.98, this is the most expensive lure in this comparison by a wide margin, more than double the $6.99 to $9.50 single lure alternatives
- Bought last month is listed at 0+, well below the 100+ figure posted by every other lure here
- Only available in one size and one color, unlike the multi color, multi piece packs in this comparison
- No target species is specified for this lure

Performance notes
At 0.34 ounces on a treble hook, the Bassdash BC1005 sits in roughly the same light weight class as the EXAURAFELIS buzz lure's 0.39 ounce lures, suggesting a similarly subtle cast and presentation rather than the heavier walking bait feel of the 14 gram Heddon X9225BON. Being sold as one lure in one size and one color pattern, BGSP, means anglers are buying a specific look rather than a variety pack, which matters if a particular color has proven effective on local water. At $19.98, the price reflects that single lure, single color positioning rather than a bulk buy, running well above the $6.99 to $9.50 single lure Rebel and Heddon prices and far above the per unit cost of any multi pack in this comparison. Whether that premium is worth it depends on how much an angler values one specific proven color pattern over broader color and quantity options.
What buyers say
A 4.2 star rating across 357 reviews is a solid, well established score, ahead of the review counts on two of the multi pack lures in this comparison. What stands out is the bought last month figure of 0+, a sharp contrast to the 100+ level reported for the Rebel F7356, Heddon XO360BB, and Heddon X9225BON. That pattern suggests a lure with a real history of satisfied buyers but comparatively little current purchase momentum, possibly reflecting its higher $19.98 price point pulling in fewer recent buyers than the lower cost alternatives. For anglers weighing this against the rest of the field, the rating history is reassuring, but the current demand signal is the weakest of any lure in this comparison.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the Bassdash BC1005 cost more than other topwater lures here?
At $19.98 for a single lure, it prices well above the $6.99 to $9.50 single lure Rebel and Heddon options and the multi lure packs in this comparison. The higher price reflects a single premium lure in one size and color rather than a bundle of several lures.
Is the Bassdash BC1005 still selling well?
The listing shows a bought last month figure of 0+, compared to 100+ for the Rebel F7356, Heddon XO360BB, and Heddon X9225BON. Its 4.2 star rating across 357 reviews shows an established history, but current purchase activity trails every other lure in this comparison.
What size and color options does the BC1005 come in?
It ships in one size and the BGSP color pattern only, rigged with a treble hook at 0.34 ounces. That is narrower than the multi color, multi piece packs elsewhere in this comparison, which suit anglers wanting variety rather than one specific look.
