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
Berkley is a name that shows up four times in this soft lure comparison, and the PNGP version sits at the top of the price range at $13.46. Unlike the other three Berkley listings here, this page does not carry detailed specs like material, weight, or target species, so buyers are working mainly from the price, the rating, and the review count rather than a full spec sheet.
On rating, the PNGP holds 4.3 stars across 626 reviews, landing between the 4.2 star GMG-NAT and the 4.4 star EBPHWR, and below the 4.6 star GMI2-WMPR. Its review count of 626 beats the GMI2-WMPR's 197 but trails the EBPHWR's 989 and the GMG-NAT's 2,063. The clearest outlier is demand: bought last month shows 0 or more here, while the other three Berkley lures in this set show 300 to 500 or more purchased in the same window.
For buyers who value a mid-pack rating on a healthy review sample and are less concerned with immediate purchase trends, the PNGP is a reasonable Berkley pick, just not the cheapest or the current best seller in the family. Anyone shopping primarily on price or recent demand has three other Berkley options in this comparison that beat it on one or both counts.

- No material, weight, or target species specs listed for this SKU
Performance notes
This listing does not include the material, weight, size, or target species details that appear on the other Berkley pages in this comparison, so it is harder to say how the PNGP fishes compared to a specific presentation or species. What is clear from the numbers is positioning: at $13.46 it sits well above the $5.99 to $6.79 range of the other three Berkley lures here, which typically signals either a larger pack size, a different lure style, or added features not captured in this data. A 4.3 star average across 626 reviews suggests a bait that performs consistently for a wide base of buyers, even without a breakdown of what species or technique it targets. Anglers considering it should check the individual product listing for material and size specs before assuming it matches the other Berkley lures in build.
What buyers say
A 4.3 star average across 626 reviews reflects a solid, broadly positive pattern, sitting comfortably in the middle of the four Berkley ratings in this comparison. The standout number, though, is the bought-last-month figure of 0 or more, which is a sharp contrast to the 300 to 500 or more seen on the other three Berkley lures. That gap suggests the historical review base was built up over time even though current purchase momentum looks weak in this snapshot. A large, mostly favorable review history paired with low recent demand can point to a listing that has fallen out of active rotation, whether from stock timing, seasonal demand, or buyers migrating to the cheaper Berkley alternatives in the same lineup.

Frequently asked questions
What specs does the Berkley PNGP soft lure have?
This listing does not provide material, weight, size, or target species details, unlike the other Berkley lures in this comparison. What is confirmed is the price, $13.46, and a 4.3 star rating across 626 reviews. Buyers wanting full spec details should check the individual Amazon listing directly.
Why is the Berkley PNGP more expensive than other Berkley soft lures?
At $13.46, it costs more than the $5.99 EBPHWR, the $6.79 GMI2-WMPR, and the $5.99 GMG-NAT in this comparison. The listing does not specify pack size or features that would explain the gap, so the higher price likely reflects a different pack count or lure style not detailed here.
Is the Berkley PNGP currently a popular seller?
The bought-last-month figure shows 0 or more, which is notably lower than the 300 to 500 or more seen on the other three Berkley lures in this comparison. Its 626-review history suggests past popularity, but the recent purchase snapshot points to weaker current momentum.
