Our verdict

The 4 OX-0003 Soft Lures pack four 3.54 inch crawfish-red baits in thermoplastic elastomer for $14.99, working out to about $3.75 per lure, cheaper per bait than Berkley's single-pack Gulp options at $5.99 to $6.79. With only 22 reviews at 4.2 stars, though, it lacks the review volume that backs its rivals.

Best for

Anglers targeting bass, walleye or pike who want a multi-lure pack in a single crawfish color and don't mind buying from a brand with a shorter Amazon track record than Berkley's Gulp line.

Skip if

Skip it if you want a proven track record first. At 22 reviews, the 4 OX-0003 pack has far less review volume than the 197 to 2,063 reviews behind the Berkley alternatives in this price range.

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

A four-pack of crawfish red soft lures shows up when you're stocking a tackle box ahead of a bass and walleye trip and want a color that works across multiple species without buying three separate bags. The 4 OX-0003 covers that by shipping four 3.54 inch baits in one Crawfish Red pattern, built from thermoplastic elastomer and weighing 2 ounces as a set, aimed at bass, walleye and pike.

At $14.99 for four lures, the per-bait cost lands near $3.75, which actually undercuts the Berkley EBPHWR ($5.99), Berkley GMI2-WMPR ($6.79) and Berkley GMG-NAT ($5.99), all of which ship as single lures rather than four-packs. Where the 4 OX-0003 falls behind is review depth. It carries a 4.2 star average across just 22 reviews, versus 989, 197 and 2,063 reviews on the three Berkley comparisons, each of which also outsells it on bought-last-month volume, 300 to 500 plus versus 200 plus here.

For an angler who wants a ready multi-lure pack in one proven bass, walleye and pike color, the per-unit price makes sense. Buyers who weight review volume heavily will find more data behind the Berkley Gulp lineup instead.

Pros

  • Four 3.54 inch lures per pack for $14.99, about $3.75 each.
  • Thermoplastic elastomer construction in a single Crawfish Red pattern across all four baits.
  • Listed for three species: bass, walleye and pike.
  • 200 plus bought in the past month, showing active demand.
  • 4.2 star average holds up even with a small review base.
  • 2 ounce total pack weight keeps it light in a tackle bag.

Cons

  • Only 22 reviews, far short of the 197 to 2,063 reviews backing Berkley's Gulp lures.
  • No listed scent or flavor attractant, unlike Berkley's Gulp branding.
  • Single color option, Crawfish Red, versus more varied Berkley lineups.
  • Sticker price of $14.99 is more than double Berkley's $5.99 to $6.79 single lures.
  • Bought-last-month figure of 200 plus trails the 300 plus to 500 plus seen on the Berkley comparisons.

Performance notes

The 3.54 inch size and 2 ounce pack weight put these baits in a mid-size soft plastic range, long enough to work as a moving bait for bass and pike while staying compact enough for walleye. Thermoplastic elastomer is a flexible material choice that's meant to hold action in the water column without tearing as fast as softer plastics, based on how the material is described. Crawfish Red across all four pieces is a single-color strategy rather than an assortment, meaning anglers get four working baits in one presentation rather than a mixed bag to test different looks. Targeting three species at once, bass, walleye and pike, suggests a general-purpose profile instead of a species-specific design like the more targeted Berkley Gulp options, which list a single target or an all-species tag. That breadth can be useful for anglers fishing mixed water but less precise than a dedicated pattern.

What buyers say

A 4.2 star average across 22 reviews is a respectable score, but the sample size is small next to the category. Berkley's three comparisons each carry hundreds to thousands of reviews, 989, 197 and 2,063, which gives buyers a much deeper pattern to read before purchasing. The 200 plus bought-last-month figure for the 4 OX-0003 shows real, current demand, just at a smaller scale than the 300 plus to 500 plus monthly figures on the Berkley alternatives. Together, the numbers suggest a newer or lower-volume listing that is earning solid ratings from the buyers it has, rather than an established bestseller. Anglers who prioritize a large review history for confidence will lean toward the Berkley options, and anglers comfortable with a smaller but positive sample may find this pack a reasonable pick.

Frequently asked questions

How many lures come in the 4 OX-0003 pack?

The pack ships with four soft lures, each 3.54 inches long, all in the Crawfish Red color. That works out to about $3.75 per lure at the $14.99 listed price, which is less per bait than the single-lure Berkley options in this comparison at $5.99 to $6.79 each.

What species is this soft lure designed for?

The listing targets bass, walleye and pike, making it a general freshwater option rather than a single-species bait. That's a broader target list than the Berkley GMI2-WMPR and GMG-NAT, which are both marked for all species, or the EBPHWR, which doesn't specify a target list in the available specs.

How does the review count compare to other soft lures?

At 22 reviews, the 4 OX-0003 has a much smaller sample than the Berkley EBPHWR at 989, GMI2-WMPR at 197, or GMG-NAT at 2,063. Its 4.2 star average is close to the GMG-NAT's 4.2 and just under the EBPHWR's 4.4 and GMI2-WMPR's 4.6, but with far less data behind it.
