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
Garlic is one of the oldest scent tricks in bait fishing, and the Berkley 1130446 Fish Attractant leans into that with a garlic-flavored formula. It's a plastic-based product weighing 0.6 pounds, sold as a single unit for $9.86. There's no listed target species, so it reads as a general-purpose additive rather than one built around a single fish.
At 4.2 stars across 288 reviews, the rating sits in the middle of the pack among the attractants compared here. It ties the Berkley GCN's 4.2 star score, and it trails the 4.6 star marks posted by the Berkley BTCOY2 and Berkley 1004950, both of which also cost less at $4.56 and $6.97. The 288 review count is also the smallest sample in this particular lineup, smaller even than the Berkley GCN's 357.
Bought last month sits at 300+, ahead of the GCN's 200+ but well behind the 1004950's 2,000+ and the BTCOY2's 700+. At $9.86, this is the most expensive attractant in the comparison, which makes it a harder value case unless the garlic scent specifically is what an angler is after. For anglers who have already decided garlic works for them, the 0.6 pound plastic-based bottle is a straightforward, no-frills purchase, just one that costs more than the alternatives here.
Pros
- Garlic scent formula, a proven bait additive angle for anglers who favor strong smells

- 288 reviews is the smallest sample size among the four attractants compared
- 300+ bought last month trails the Berkley 1004950's 2,000+ by a wide margin
- 4.2 stars ties the Berkley GCN but falls short of the 4.6 star Berkley options

Performance notes
The Berkley 1130446 is built around a garlic scent, a formula choice aimed at anglers who believe stronger, more pungent smells draw more strikes. It weighs 0.6 pounds and is made from a plastic-based material, packaged as a single unit for $9.86. That price is notably higher than the other three attractants in this comparison, which range from $4.56 to $6.97, so buyers are paying a premium specifically for the garlic profile rather than a larger quantity or a higher star rating. There's no listed target species, which means it's positioned as a general-purpose scent additive rather than one tuned to a specific fish. For anglers already sold on garlic as a scent, the formula and packaging are straightforward, but the price gap versus other Berkley attractants is the main factor to weigh.
What buyers say
A 4.2 star average across 288 reviews suggests buyers who purchase the Berkley 1130446 are generally satisfied, though the review count is modest next to the thousands racked up by the Berkley BTCOY2 and 1004950. The 300+ bought last month indicates a steady but smaller customer base, more of a specialty pick than a mainstream one. Read together, the pattern points to a product with a loyal niche following built around its garlic scent rather than one competing on sheer purchase volume. Anglers comparing purely by review count and monthly demand would likely see the higher-volume, higher-rated Berkley options as the safer default choice.
