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
When 2,000 or more buyers pick up the same fish attractant in a single month, that is a demand signal worth paying attention to, and that is exactly what the Berkley 1004950 Fish Attractant shows. Priced at $6.97, it is not the cheapest option in this comparison, but it backs that price with a 4.6-star rating across 5,900 reviews, the largest sample size of any attractant covered here.
Set against the rest of the Berkley lineup, the 1004950 leads on volume. The BTCOY2 costs less at $4.56 and matches the same 4.6-star rating, but its 4,600 reviews and 700-plus bought last month both trail the 1004950's numbers. The GCN costs $5.62 and manages only a 4.2-star average across 357 reviews with 200-plus bought last month, the weakest showing in the group on every metric. The BABA2P runs highest in price at $9.99 and posts a 4.2-star rating across 1,000 reviews with 400-plus bought last month, still well short of the 1004950's totals.
On raw numbers, the 1004950 is the demand leader of this set. Anyone weighing price against proven popularity will find the extra cost over the BTCOY2 buys the largest review base and the strongest recent sales figure in the comparison.

Performance notes
The 1004950 listing does not break out weight, size, color or target-species details the way the BTCOY2 and BABA2P entries in this comparison do, so the clearest read on this product comes from its price and demand figures rather than a spec sheet. At $6.97, it sits in the upper half of the four prices compared here, above the BTCOY2 and GCN but below the BABA2P. What stands out is the volume behind it: 5,900 reviews is the highest total in this comparison, and 2,000-plus bought in the last month is by far the strongest recent-purchase figure in the set. That combination points to a listing that has been selling steadily over time rather than one riding a short-term spike, since a review count this large typically builds up gradually alongside consistent purchase activity.
What buyers say
A 4.6-star average holding across 5,900 reviews is a strong signal, since maintaining that rating gets statistically harder as the review count grows, and 5,900 is the largest sample in this comparison. The 2,000-plus bought last month figure is also the highest recent-demand number among the four products, more than double the BTCOY2's 700-plus and ten times the GCN's 200-plus. Together, the rating and the purchase volume suggest a product that continues to satisfy buyers at scale rather than one that earned early reviews and then faded. The BABA2P, by contrast, holds a lower 4.2-star average despite a smaller 1,000-review base, reinforcing that the 1004950 sits at the top of this group on almost every buyer-facing metric available.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the Berkley 1004950 cost more than the BTCOY2?
Both products share the same 4.6-star rating, but the 1004950 costs $6.97 versus the BTCOY2's $4.56. The price difference is not explained by a rating gap in the data provided; the 1004950 does carry a larger review base at 5,900 versus 4,600 and a higher bought-last-month figure of 2,000-plus versus 700-plus.
Is the 1004950's review count reliable given how large it is?
At 5,900 reviews, the 1004950 has the largest sample size of any attractant in this comparison, which generally makes a 4.6-star average more statistically stable than a rating built on a few hundred reviews. Large samples are harder to skew, so this rating carries meaningful weight.
Is the Berkley 1004950 currently available?
Yes, it is listed as InStock, and the 2,000-plus units bought in the last month confirm it is an active, frequently purchased listing rather than one running low on stock or fading in popularity, based on the figures provided in this comparison.
