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

Overview
A floating soft plastic behaves differently than one that sinks, since it hovers near the surface or suspends rather than dropping straight down, which is the pitch behind this 4 piece Floating Sea Urchin Soft Lure. Built from TPE in a large size and a single color listed as E, it sells for $11.99, the lowest price among the soft lures compared on this page.
Its 4.5 star rating from 40 reviews is the second highest of any lure in this comparison, trailing only Berkley's GMI2-WMPR at 4.6 stars and ahead of the EBPHWR at 4.4 stars and GMG-NAT at 4.2 stars. The review count, 40, is still small next to Berkley's totals of 197 to 2,063, so the high average has not yet been tested across a large sample.
Bought last month sits at 1,000+, matching the highest demand figure seen among the products compared here and well ahead of Berkley's top figure of 500+. Combined with the $11.99 price, the lowest of the group, and a 4.5 star average, this listing pairs strong recent sales with a rating that holds up well against established Berkley packs, even if the review history is still thin.

Performance notes
TPE, thermoplastic elastomer, is a soft rubber like material often used for buoyant or extra flexible soft baits, which lines up with the floating claim in this listing's name. A floating bait tends to suspend or hover rather than sink on the drop, useful for working just under the surface or over cover where a sinking soft plastic would snag. The large size listed suggests a bigger profile than the 1.5 to 2 1/2 inch range on some of the compared Berkley packs, which can matter for targeting bigger fish or pushing more water to get noticed. Color is listed simply as E, without a named shade, so buyers cannot judge the exact tone before ordering the way they can with Berkley's named colors like Watermelon Pearl or Natural. At $11.99, this remains the lowest priced option in the comparison despite the floating TPE build.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star rating from 40 reviews places this lure second only to Berkley's GMI2-WMPR at 4.6 stars, ahead of the EBPHWR at 4.4 and GMG-NAT at 4.2. That is a strong showing, though the 40 review sample is far smaller than Berkley's 197 to 2,063 totals, so the average carries less statistical certainty. The 1,000+ bought last month figure matches the strongest demand seen among the compared products and doubles Berkley's best figure of 500+. Together, a high rating, even on a small sample, paired with high recent sales volume and the lowest price in the group points to a listing that is both well liked so far and moving fast.
