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

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Multi-species versatility is the selling point here: TRUSCEND's TRB75X is built for bass, trout, crappie and walleye alike, using a J hook setup in a 3 inch (7.5cm) size. The pack ships 20 pieces for $16.99, made from a polyvinyl chloride and silicone blend at 0.15 ounces each, and carries a 4.5 star rating across 2,100 reviews, with 800 or more bought in the past month.
Against the Berkley soft lures in this comparison, the TRB75X wins on nearly every measure except price. Its 4.5 star rating beats the EBPHWR's 4.4 and the GMG-NAT's 4.2, trailing only the GMI2-WMPR's 4.6. Its 2,100 reviews edge out even the GMG-NAT's 2,063, the largest base in the group, and its 800 or more bought last month outpaces the 500 figure for the EBPHWR and the 400 figure for the GMG-NAT. The tradeoff is price: at $16.99, it costs roughly three times what Berkley's cheapest lures charge.
For anglers who want the most reviewed and most purchased soft lure in this lineup, and one rated highly across species from bass to walleye, the TRB75X justifies its higher price with real scale. Only budget-strict buyers, or those who specifically want the GMI2-WMPR's slightly higher 4.6 rating, have a clear reason to look elsewhere.

Performance notes
A 0.15 ounce weight per piece and a 3 inch (7.5cm) length put the TRB75X in a compact profile suited to finesse presentations, while the PVC and silicone blend is a common combination for soft lures aimed at durability and action in the water. Listing four target species, bass, trout, crappie and walleye, signals a general-purpose design rather than one built for a single fish. The J hook technique specified in the listing points to a straightforward rigging approach rather than a specialty setup. With 20 pieces per $16.99 pack, the per-lure cost runs close to 85 cents, higher than the single-piece Berkley lures in this comparison, but the 4.5 star rating across 2,100 reviews and 800 or more bought last month suggest that price is not deterring buyers at scale.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star average holding across 2,100 reviews, the largest sample in this comparison, is a strong signal since large review counts are harder to sustain at a high rating than small ones. It also edges past the GMG-NAT's 2,063 reviews while beating that lure's 4.2 star average outright. Paired with 800 or more bought in the past month, well above the 500 and 400 figures posted by Berkley's EBPHWR and GMG-NAT, the pattern points to a product with both broad, sustained satisfaction and the highest current purchase momentum of any soft lure in this comparison. That scale of repeat buying at a premium price suggests buyers see it as worth the extra cost.

Frequently asked questions
How many fish species does the TRUSCEND TRB75X work for?
The listing names four target species: bass, trout, crappie and walleye. That range, combined with a J hook technique and 3 inch (7.5cm) size, makes it a general-purpose freshwater soft lure rather than one built for a single species. It ships 20 pieces per pack.
Is the TRUSCEND TRB75X worth the higher price compared to Berkley lures?
At $16.99 for 20 pieces, it costs more than Berkley's $5.99 to $6.79 lures, but it also carries the largest review count (2,100) and highest bought-last-month figure (800+) in this comparison, with a 4.5 star rating second only to the GMI2-WMPR's 4.6.
What is the TRUSCEND TRB75X soft lure made of?
It's made from a blend of polyvinyl chloride and silicone, weighs 0.15 ounces per piece, and measures 3 inches (7.5cm) long. The pack includes 20 pieces and is rigged for the J hook technique. It is currently listed as in stock on Amazon.
