Berkley BABA2P Fish Attractant Review
Our verdict
The Berkley BABA2P Fish Attractant costs $9.99, the highest price of the four Berkley attractants in this comparison, yet its 4.2-star rating across 1,000 reviews trails the 4.6-star scores posted by two cheaper options. Its 2-ounce Bass Scent formula and Trout target-species listing also do not fully agree with each other.

Anglers who specifically want the Bass Scent formula and do not mind paying the highest price in this comparison, or buyers who prefer a 2-ounce blend format over the smaller tubs offered elsewhere in this Berkley lineup.
Skip if
Skip it if budget matters, since it costs $9.99 versus $4.56 to $6.97 for the other three attractants here, and its own 4.2-star rating does not outscore the cheaper BTCOY2 or 1004950 options.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
At $9.99, the Berkley BABA2P Fish Attractant is the most expensive of the four Berkley attractants covered in this comparison, more than the BTCOY2's $4.56. It ships as a 2-ounce blend, listed at 0.04 pounds, with a Bass Scent color designation and a Trout target species, a pairing worth noting since those two labels point in different directions for anglers trying to match the scent to a specific fish.
On the numbers, the BABA2P holds a 4.2-star rating across 1,000 reviews with 400-plus bought in the last month. That rating ties the GCN's score but on a larger review base, and both trail the 4.6-star average posted by the BTCOY2 and the 1004950. The BTCOY2 costs $4.56 and matches that same higher rating across 4,600 reviews, while the 1004950 costs $6.97 with 5,900 reviews and the highest demand figure in the group at 2,000-plus bought last month.
Listed as InStock and rated 4.2 stars, the BABA2P works for buyers who specifically want its 2-ounce format or its particular scent profile, but on price, rating and review volume alike, it is not the strongest performer in this Berkley set.
Pros
- 1,000 reviews is a solid sample size, more than the GCN's 357
- 400-plus bought in the last month shows steady ongoing demand
- 2-ounce size is larger than the BTCOY2's 1.8-ounce, 1-pack tub
- Any listed Technique, giving it flexibility beyond a single presentation method
- Currently listed as InStock
Cons
- Priced at $9.99, the most expensive of the four attractants compared here
- 4.2-star rating trails the 4.6-star scores held by the cheaper BTCOY2 and 1004950
- Color is listed as Bass Scent while Target Species is listed as Trout, an inconsistency worth double-checking before buying
- Review count of 1,000 is well behind the 1004950's 5,900 and the BTCOY2's 4,600

Performance notes
The BABA2P ships as a single 2-ounce unit weighing 0.04 pounds, made from a blend material rather than the plastic tub format used by the BTCOY2. Its listing marks Technique as Any, meaning it is not tied to one specific presentation method the way a dough bait pinched onto a hook would be, giving it more flexibility in how anglers apply it. Where the listing gets confusing is the combination of a Trout target species with a Bass Scent color designation, two labels that point at different fish rather than reinforcing each other. Buyers who care about matching scent to species should read the full product listing closely before relying on either label alone. At 2 ounces, this is also the largest single-package size among the attractants compared here, which may explain part of the higher $9.99 price relative to the smaller 1.8-ounce BTCOY2 tub.
What buyers say
A 4.2-star rating across 1,000 reviews puts the BABA2P in the middle of this group: more reviews than the GCN's 357 but far fewer than the BTCOY2's 4,600 or the 1004950's 5,900. The 400-plus bought last month figure sits above the GCN's 200-plus but below both the BTCOY2's 700-plus and the 1004950's 2,000-plus, suggesting moderate but not leading demand. Since the BABA2P shares its exact 4.2-star score with the GCN despite a much larger review base, that rating looks like a more stable, well-established figure for this product rather than one still likely to shift much with a handful of new reviews. Buyers weighing this against the two 4.6-star options should note the star gap holds steady across a meaningful sample size.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the BABA2P list both Trout and Bass Scent?
The product specs list Target Species as Trout but Color as Bass Scent, two labels that do not obviously match. This comparison can only report what the listing shows; anglers who need certainty about which species this scent targets should confirm directly with the product listing before buying.
How big is the BABA2P compared to the other Berkley attractants?
The BABA2P is listed at 2 ounces and 0.04 pounds, the largest single-package size among the four attractants in this comparison, compared with the BTCOY2's smaller 1.8-ounce, 1-pack tub. That larger size is one factor that may account for part of its higher $9.99 price.
Is the Berkley BABA2P worth the higher price?
At $9.99, it costs more than the other three Berkley attractants here, but its 4.2-star rating does not exceed the 4.6-star scores held by the cheaper BTCOY2 or 1004950. Buyers focused strictly on rating and price may find better value in those two options.
