Kingdom Wasp Craw Bait Insect Bionic Floating Fishing Lures Swimbaits Review
Our verdict
The Kingdom Wasp Craw Bait costs $10.99 for a single floating topwater lure aimed at carp, yet it carries only 70 reviews compared to the 1,100 to 1,600 review counts on similarly priced Heddon and Rebel topwater lures. At 4.4 stars it is solid, but the review base is thin for a $10.99 single-lure purchase.
Check price on AmazonBest for
Anglers specifically targeting carp who want a floating insect-style topwater lure and are comfortable buying from a newer listing with a smaller but solid 4.4-star review base at 70 reviews and 100+ monthly purchases.
Skip if
Skip it if you fish mainly for bass or trout, since the Heddon XO360BB and X9225BON target those species specifically with 1,200 to 1,600 reviews behind them and cost the same or less per lure.

Overview
Carp fishing calls for lures that imitate something soft and struggling on the surface, which is the pitch behind the Kingdom Wasp Craw Bait. It is built as a floating, insect-bodied swimbait sized at 4.2 grams and 0.15 ounces, light enough to land with a gentle plop rather than a splash that spooks wary fish working shallow water.
The spec sheet is short. Kingdom lists a single treble hook, a 4.2g body, one color option labeled 01, and one piece per purchase at $10.99. There is no material listing and no secondary species beyond carp, so buyers weighing this against multi-species lures are working with less printed detail than usual.
At $10.99 for one lure, the Wasp Craw Bait sits above the $6.99 Rebel F7356 and Heddon XO360BB and close to the $9.50 Heddon X9225BON, but its 70 reviews are a fraction of the 1,100 to 1,600 reviews those three carry. The 4.4-star average holds up fine on its own, and 100+ units sold last month shows steady demand, but buyers comparing purely on review depth will find the established Heddon and Rebel lures better documented.
Pros
- Light 4.2g body (0.15 ounces) built for a soft topwater landing
- Treble hook design standard for topwater hook sets
- 4.4-star average across 70 reviews
- 100+ purchases last month shows the listing is actively selling
- Targets carp specifically rather than a generic multi-species topwater lure
Cons
- Only 70 reviews versus 1,100 to 1,600 on the Rebel and Heddon alternatives
- No material spec listed, unlike competitors that state blend, plastic, or metal construction
- Single piece per $10.99 purchase, more per-lure than the $6.99 Rebel F7356 and Heddon XO360BB
- No secondary target species listed beyond carp
- Bought-last-month figure of 100+ is lower than the volume behind the established alternatives

Performance notes
The 4.2 gram, 0.15 ounce body places this on the lighter end of topwater lures, which typically means a subtler cast and a gentler entry that suits pressured carp in calm, shallow water rather than long-distance casting into open water. A single treble hook is standard for reaction strikes on topwater retrieves, giving solid hookup potential once a fish commits to the surface strike. The floating, insect-bodied design is meant to sit still or wobble slightly rather than dive, which fits a slow, twitch-and-pause presentation more than a fast walk-the-dog retrieve. With only one color option listed, anglers do not get to match water clarity or light conditions the way they can with multi-color packs, and the single-piece packaging means losing a lure to a snag or a break-off ends the purchase rather than leaving backups on hand.
What buyers say
A 4.4-star average across 70 reviews is a healthy rating, but the review count itself is the smaller number in this category. Similarly priced topwater lures from Heddon and Rebel carry 1,100 to 1,600 reviews, meaning far more buyers have weighed in over a longer stretch of time. The 100+ bought-last-month figure indicates the listing is actively moving units, just at a smaller scale than the long-established alternatives. For a newer or less broadly reviewed listing, a 4.4 average built on 70 data points is a reasonably reliable signal, though it carries less statistical weight than a rating built on over a thousand purchases. Buyers can read this as solid but early-stage feedback rather than a long track record.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Kingdom Wasp Craw Bait work for species other than carp?
The listing specifies carp as the target species and does not list a secondary species. Anglers wanting a multi-species topwater option may want to look at the Heddon XO360BB, which lists both bass and crappie, or the Rebel F7356, which covers bass and trout at a lower $6.99 price.
How does the price compare to similar topwater lures?
At $10.99 for a single lure, the Wasp Craw Bait costs more than the $6.99 Rebel F7356 and Heddon XO360BB, and slightly more than the $9.50 Heddon X9225BON. All three of those alternatives carry far more reviews, so the higher price here is not backed by a comparably large review history.
Is this lure well suited for shallow, pressured water?
The 4.2 gram floating body and treble hook point toward a subtle, slow presentation rather than a loud, splashy retrieve, which fits calm shallow water where carp tend to spook easily. The one-color, one-piece packaging means there is no backup lure included if it is lost to a snag.
