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
Buying attractant in bulk makes sense for anglers who fish often enough to go through a small tub in a few trips. The Pro-Cure G8-ISW answers that need with a full 8 ounce pack, sold as a single unit and priced at $21.99, the steepest price tag in this comparison.
That price buys a 4.4 star rating across 462 reviews, ahead of the GCN's 4.2 stars but behind the 4.6 stars posted by both the BTCOY2 and the 1004950. Review volume of 462 is the smallest of the four products here, well short of the thousands behind the top two, though it's still a workable sample for judging quality. At $21.99, the G8-ISW costs more than triple the 1004950's $6.97, nearly five times the BTCOY2's $4.56, and close to four times the GCN's $5.62.
Bought-last-month volume of 200 or more matches the GCN's own 200 or more, while trailing the BTCOY2's 700 or more and the 1004950's 2,000 or more. For anglers who buy attractant in bulk and don't mind the higher unit price, the 8 ounce size and steady sales pattern make a reasonable case.
Pros
- 8 ounce pack is the largest single container price-compared here, more than the BTCOY2's 1.8 ounces.
- 4.4 star rating across 462 reviews beats the GCN's 4.2 stars.
- 200 or more bought last month matches the GCN's demand level despite the much higher price.
- Single-pack format, Pieces: 1, keeps the product simple with no portioning needed.
- 462 reviews is a workable sample size for judging consistency.
Cons
- At $21.99, it's the most expensive product in this comparison, nearly five times the BTCOY2's $4.56.
- 462 reviews is the smallest sample of the four products, well behind the 1004950's 5,900.
- 4.4 stars trails the 4.6 stars posted by both the BTCOY2 and the 1004950.
- No target species or material is listed, unlike the BTCOY2's trout-specific, plastic listing.

Performance notes
An 8 ounce single pack is the largest container in this comparison, meaning fewer repurchases over a season for anglers who go through attractant quickly. Sold as one unit, Pieces: 1, there's no portioning or multi-piece kit involved, just a straightforward tub. Without a listed material, color or target species, this product reads as a general-purpose attractant rather than one built around a specific presentation or fish, unlike the BTCOY2's trout-specific dough bait. At $21.99, the price is driven almost entirely by that larger volume, and it works out to a real premium over the smaller-format competitors here even accounting for the bigger container. For an angler who fishes often enough to use up 8 ounces before it goes stale, the bulk size can make sense, but occasional anglers may find a smaller pack a better match for how much they'll actually use.
What buyers say
A 4.4 star average across 462 reviews sits ahead of the GCN's 4.2 stars but behind the 4.6 stars shared by the BTCOY2 and the 1004950. With 462 reviews, this is the smallest review base of the four products compared here, though still enough to establish a consistent pattern rather than a handful of early impressions. Bought-last-month volume of 200 or more equals the GCN's own figure and shows real ongoing demand even at the highest price point in the group, well above the BTCOY2's per-unit cost. The combination of a solid rating, a modest but genuine review history, and steady sales at a premium price suggests a product with a loyal following willing to pay more for the larger format.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the Pro-Cure G8-ISW cost so much more than other attractants?
At $21.99 it's priced for an 8 ounce pack, the largest single container in this comparison. That works out to more than triple the 1004950's $6.97 and nearly five times the BTCOY2's $4.56, reflecting the bigger volume rather than a different rating tier.
Is 4.4 stars a good rating for this product?
It's a solid rating, ahead of the GCN's 4.2 stars though just short of the 4.6 stars shared by the BTCOY2 and the 1004950. With 462 reviews behind it, the score reflects a real, if smaller, sample rather than a handful of early buyers.
Does this attractant list a target species or scent flavor?
No, the listing doesn't specify a material, color or target species, unlike the BTCOY2's trout-specific dough bait. That makes the G8-ISW read as a general-purpose option, with the 8 ounce size, the $21.99 price, and the 4.4 star rating being the clearest details available to buyers.
