Overview
Rig up a J hook for a squid presentation and the Fishbites 0094 is built with that exact pairing in mind. The listing specs it at 12 inches by 0.5 inches, colored Pink, sold two pieces to a pack, matched to J Hook technique and Squid as the target species, all for $6.14.
That price lands in the middle of this four-product set, cheaper than the TNFO's $6.94 and the 1004950's $6.97, but more than the BTCOY2's $4.56 and the GCN's $5.62. Unlike the three Berkley products it's compared against here, the 0094 is built around a specific rig and target species rather than a general-purpose bait, which narrows who it's really for.
At 4.4 stars across 739 reviews, it matches the TNFO's rating and beats the GCN's 4.2 stars, though it falls short of the 4.6 stars the BTCOY2 and 1004950 both carry. The 200+ bought last month ties it with the GCN for the lowest volume in this comparison, well behind the BTCOY2's 700+ and the 1004950's 2,000+, a sign this is a more specialized pick than a mainstream bestseller.
Pros
- Purpose-built for J Hook technique and Squid targeting, a more specific match than general-purpose baits
- 4.4 star average across 739 reviews matches the TNFO and beats the GCN's 4.2 stars
- Priced at $6.14, cheaper than both the TNFO and 1004950
- Sold as a 2 piece pack, giving a spare if the first is lost to a snag
- 12 by 0.5 inch sizing is specified up front, so there's no guessing on fit for a J hook rig
Cons
- 200+ bought last month ties for the lowest volume of the four attractants in this comparison
- 4.4 stars trails the 4.6 stars posted by the BTCOY2 and 1004950
- 739 reviews is the second-smallest sample here, behind only the GCN's 357
- Narrower use case built around J Hook and Squid targeting limits it against general-purpose baits

Performance notes
The spec sheet lists Stainless Steel as the material and ties the product to J Hook technique, which together suggest this pack is built around a hook-and-bait pairing rather than a stand-alone scent or dough. Sized at 12 by 0.5 inches, it's shaped for rigging directly rather than molding onto a jig head. The Pink coloring gives visibility in water where a duller bait might blend in. Selling two pieces per pack at $6.14 works out to about $3.07 per piece, in the range of a single-use rig component rather than a bulk tub meant to last a season. Squid as the Target Species narrows the use case further, positioning this as a rig for anglers specifically going after squid rather than a general freshwater bait like the Berkley trout and bass-oriented products in this comparison.
What buyers say
739 reviews at 4.4 stars puts the 0094 in the same rating tier as the TNFO and ahead of the GCN's 4.2 stars, though it doesn't reach the 4.6 stars the BTCOY2 and 1004950 both hold. The 200+ bought last month matches the GCN for the smallest monthly volume in this set, a step down from the TNFO's 500+ and well behind the 1004950's 2,000+. Taken together, the pattern reads as a well-liked but niche product, one that satisfies the anglers who need its specific J Hook and squid pairing without pulling in the broad volume a general-purpose bait attracts.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Fishbites 0094 built for a specific type of fishing?
Yes. The listing ties it to J Hook technique and lists Squid as the Target Species, which is narrower than the general-purpose framing of the Berkley attractants it's compared against here, so it suits anglers with that specific rig rather than someone shopping for an all-purpose scent.
How does the price compare to other attractants in this category?
At $6.14 it sits in the middle of this four-product set, cheaper than the TNFO ($6.94) and 1004950 ($6.97) but pricier than the BTCOY2 ($4.56) and GCN ($5.62). Its 4.4 star rating across 739 reviews also lands in the middle of the pack.
Does the 0094 sell as well as the top Berkley attractants?
No. It moved 200+ units last month, tying the GCN for the lowest figure here and trailing the 1004950's 2,000+ by a wide margin, even though its 4.4 star rating across 739 reviews holds up well against every product in this comparison.
