Overview
A day on the water where bass keep shredding paddle tails is the exact situation this listing is built for. The Soft Paddle Tail Swimbaits pack bundles 96 lures across 8 colors for $8.99, so losing a handful to snags or fish teeth barely dents the supply. Each lure measures 2.7 inches and is molded from polyvinyl chloride, a soft plastic material common in mass-produced swimbaits.
At under 10 cents per lure, the math favors volume over refinement. That pricing puts it well below the per-unit cost of a single-pack option like Berkley's GMI2-WMPR at $6.79 for one lure, though that comparison only holds if color variety and count matter more than a single proven formula. The 8-color spread gives anglers room to experiment with water clarity and light conditions without buying separate packs.
Buyer activity backs up the appeal of bulk value: 600+ units bought last month and 83 reviews averaging 4.1 stars. That review count is modest next to Berkley's GMG-NAT, which carries 2,063 reviews at 4.2 stars, or the EBPHWR at 989 reviews and 4.4 stars. Those Berkley lures come with longer track records, while this listing leans on quantity and price to make its case for anglers who fish soft plastics hard and often.
Pros
- 96 lures per pack works out to roughly 9 cents each, well under the per-lure cost of single-pack alternatives like the $6.79 GMI2-WMPR
- 8 color options in one pack cover a range of water and light conditions without buying separate packs
- 2.7-inch size fits typical paddle tail rigging
- Polyvinyl chloride construction is a standard soft plastic material for swimbaits
- 600+ bought last month points to steady current demand
- 4.1-star average across 83 reviews shows a generally positive reception
Cons
- 83 reviews is a small sample next to Berkley's GMG-NAT at 2,063 reviews or EBPHWR at 989
- 4.1 stars trails the 4.4 and 4.6-star ratings of the Berkley EBPHWR and GMI2-WMPR
- No listed target species or brand model beyond a generic label, so buyers have less spec detail to go on
- Bulk packs of soft plastic lures typically trade some formula refinement for quantity
- At 96 pieces, storage space in a tackle box becomes a real consideration

Performance notes
The 2.7-inch size and paddle tail shape point to a lure designed for a swimming retrieve, where the tail kicks as it moves through water. Polyvinyl chloride is a soft, flexible plastic that lets the tail flex with less resistance than firmer materials, and it is a common choice across mass-produced swimbaits at this price point. Packaging 96 pieces across 8 colors means each individual lure carries a low replacement cost, which matters for a lure style that often gets left in cover or bitten through by toothy fish. The color spread lets anglers match water clarity and light conditions without buying separate packs, though the listing does not specify which 8 shades are included. Compared to single-piece packs priced per lure, such as the $6.79 GMI2-WMPR, this format shifts the economics toward stocking up rather than buying one trusted formula at a higher unit cost.
What buyers say
A 4.1-star average across 83 reviews sits below the ratings posted by longer-established Berkley soft plastics in this same category, such as the EBPHWR at 4.4 stars and 989 reviews or the GMG-NAT at 4.2 stars and 2,063 reviews. That gap suggests a newer or less-reviewed listing rather than a poorly regarded one, since 4.1 stars is still a solidly positive average. The 600+ bought last month figure indicates real, ongoing demand despite the smaller review base, which often happens with budget bulk packs that move fast on price and quantity alone. Anglers weighing this against the Berkley options are essentially trading a shorter review history for a much lower per-lure cost and more color variety in a single purchase.

Frequently asked questions
How much does each lure cost in this pack?
The pack holds 96 lures for $8.99, which works out to a little over 9 cents per lure. That is well below single-piece options like Berkley's GMI2-WMPR at $6.79 for one lure, though it trades a proven formula for bulk quantity and color variety.
What size and material are these lures?
Each lure measures 2.7 inches and is made from polyvinyl chloride, a soft plastic commonly used in mass-produced swimbaits. The pack includes 8 different colors spread across the 96 pieces, giving anglers plenty of variety without needing to buy several separate packs to cover different water conditions.
How does it compare to Berkley's soft plastic lures?
This listing has fewer reviews than Berkley's options, 83 versus 989 for the EBPHWR and 2,063 for the GMG-NAT, and a slightly lower 4.1-star average. Its advantage is volume and price, with 96 lures in 8 colors for $8.99 versus Berkley's smaller single or per-unit packs.
