FishBites® 0201 Soft Lures Review
Our verdict
FishBites 0201 soft lures cost $7.49 for 2 pieces and show a 4.4 star rating, though that figure comes with zero reviews on record, meaning there is no meaningful review history yet. Still, 300 or more bought in the past month shows real, current demand for this biodegradable, gel-based saltwater bait.

Saltwater anglers looking for a biodegradable, gel-based bait in a small J hook format who don't mind buying without an established review history, and who are comfortable trusting the 300 or more bought last month as the main proof of demand.

Overview
Saltwater anglers who prefer biodegradable bait over hard plastic have an option in FishBites 0201, a gel-based lure built around a small, white, 2-piece pack priced at $7.49. It's rigged for the J hook technique and weighs 0.05 kilograms, and it's marketed specifically for saltwater species rather than freshwater use.
The review data here is unusual: the listing shows a 4.4 star rating but zero reviews on record, so that rating currently has no supporting review history behind it. That is a sharp contrast to the Berkley soft lures in this comparison, all of which carry a review count somewhere between 197 and 2,063. Despite that gap, 300 or more units were bought in the past month, a demand level close to the GMI2-WMPR's 300 figure.
For saltwater anglers drawn to the biodegradable angle, this is a reasonable buy at $7.49, but the absence of any logged reviews means there's little independent confirmation of quality yet beyond the purchase volume itself. Anyone who wants a reviewed track record before trying a new bait should look to the Berkley lures in this comparison instead, where hundreds to thousands of reviews back up the star ratings.

- 300 or more bought last month, close to the GMI2-WMPR's demand level

Cons
- Zero reviews on record despite the listed 4.4 star rating, no track record to verify it
- Only 2 pieces per pack at $7.49
- Small size only, no larger option listed
- Far behind Berkley's soft lures on review volume, which range from 197 to 2,063

Performance notes
Gel-based construction and the biodegradable label set FishBites apart from the plastic and silicone soft lures elsewhere in this comparison, aiming at anglers who want a bait that breaks down rather than persists in the water. At 0.05 kilograms for 2 pieces, this is a small, light bait, matching its listed small size and white color and built around a J hook technique for saltwater species specifically rather than general freshwater use. The $7.49 price for 2 pieces works out to roughly $3.75 per piece, less than the $5.99 to $6.79 per-lure price of Berkley's single-piece soft lures in this comparison, though FishBites is a different bait style built for saltwater specifically. Because the listing shows 4.4 stars but zero reviews, there isn't yet a track record to interpret alongside the specs, so the 300 or more bought last month is the clearest available signal of how the product is actually performing in the market.
What buyers say
The most notable pattern here is the mismatch between a listed 4.4 star rating and zero logged reviews, which means that rating currently has no visible customer feedback behind it, unlike every Berkley lure in this comparison, each with well over a hundred reviews. That makes it difficult to read buyer sentiment in the usual way. What can be read is the 300 or more bought in the past month, a purchase level in the same range as the GMI2-WMPR's 300 figure, which at least confirms the listing is actively selling even without a review history to back up its rating yet.

Frequently asked questions
Why does FishBites 0201 show a 4.4 star rating with zero reviews?
The listing data shows a 4.4 star average alongside zero logged reviews, meaning there's currently no visible review history behind that number. Buyers should treat the rating as unconfirmed for now and rely more on the 300 or more bought last month as a sign of actual demand.
What is FishBites 0201 made from and what is it used for?
It's a gel-based bait, not plastic, weighing 0.05 kilograms in a small, white, 2-piece pack rigged for the J hook technique. It's marketed for saltwater species and described as biodegradable, unlike the plastic and silicone lures in this comparison. It is currently listed as in stock.
How does FishBites 0201 compare in price to other soft lures in this comparison?
At $7.49 for 2 pieces, about $3.75 each, it costs less overall than any Berkley soft lure in this comparison priced between $5.99 and $6.79, though those are sold as single pieces rather than a 2-pack. That makes FishBites the lowest total price in the group, even without a review history to confirm the rating yet.
