Anglers who use enough scent to justify buying 64 ounces at once, especially those targeting species that respond to shrimp scent, and who'd rather restock once a season than buy small bottles repeatedly.
Skip if
Skip it if you only need a small amount or want the highest-rated option. At 4.2 stars across 591 reviews it ties the GCN for the lowest rating here, and its $26.60 price is far above the $4.56 to $6.97 range of the other three.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
Buy scent in a 64 ounce jug and the math changes completely from picking up a small bottle for a weekend trip. The Pro-Cure BH-SHO is sized for exactly that kind of bulk use, listed at 64 ounces, scented for Shrimp, and priced at $26.60.
Against the three Berkley products in this comparison, all sold in ounce-or-less quantities for $4.56 to $6.97, the BH-SHO is a different category of purchase. Even accounting for the larger size, the per-ounce cost works out to roughly 42 cents, well below the smaller bottles on a unit basis, but the upfront cost of $26.60 is still the highest total price in this set by a wide margin.
At 4.2 stars across 591 reviews, it ties the GCN for the lowest rating among the four attractants compared here, short of the 4.6 stars the BTCOY2 and 1004950 both hold. The 100+ bought last month is also the smallest volume in the group, behind even the GCN's 200+, which fits a bulk product that fewer people need to buy at once, but restocks less often per buyer.
Pros
- 64 ounce size works out to roughly 42 cents per ounce, cheaper per unit than any of the smaller Berkley bottles
- Shrimp-specific scent gives a clear target-species match for anglers who need it
- 4.2 star average across 591 reviews is still a sizable, trustworthy sample
- Bulk sizing means fewer repeat purchases for anglers who use scent often
- 591 reviews gives that 4.2 star average a stable foundation, not a thin or shaky sample
Cons
- Highest total price in this comparison at $26.60, versus $4.56 to $6.97 for the Berkley options
- 4.2 stars ties the GCN for the lowest rating among the four attractants here
- 100+ bought last month is the slowest-moving product in this set
- 64 ounces is far more than an occasional angler needs, with no smaller size listed here

Performance notes
At 64 ounces, the BH-SHO is sized for anglers who go through scent quickly or share a supply across a boat, not for someone who wants a pocket-sized bottle. Working out to about 42 cents per ounce at $26.60, it undercuts the smaller Berkley bottles on a per-unit basis even though the total checkout price is the highest of the four products here. The Shrimp listing under Target Species points to a formula built around that specific scent profile rather than a general one, which matters most to anglers targeting species known to respond to shrimp. Because it ships in bulk, storage becomes a bigger practical question than with a 1 to 2 ounce bottle, though the listing doesn't specify a shelf life. The size alone makes this a different kind of purchase decision than the smaller-format attractants it's stacked against in this comparison.
What buyers say
591 reviews at 4.2 stars ties the BH-SHO with the GCN for the lowest rating in this four-product set, trailing the 4.6 stars posted by both the BTCOY2 and 1004950. The 100+ bought last month is also the smallest monthly volume here, behind the GCN's 200+ and far behind the 1004950's 2,000+. That combination points to a smaller, more specialized buyer base, likely anglers who specifically need a large shrimp-scented supply rather than casual buyers picking up a small bottle, and who buy less often given how much a single 64 ounce purchase covers.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the Pro-Cure BH-SHO priced so much higher than the other attractants here?
It's sold in a 64 ounce size, far larger than the 1 to 2 ounce Berkley bottles in this comparison. At $26.60 total it works out to about 42 cents per ounce, cheaper per unit than the smaller options despite the higher checkout price.
What is the Pro-Cure BH-SHO scented for?
The listing's Target Species field lists Shrimp, pointing to a formula built around that specific scent profile rather than the general-purpose framing of some of the Berkley products in this comparison. Anglers targeting other species may get more mileage from a broader formula.
How does its rating compare to other attractants in this set?
It holds 4.2 stars across 591 reviews, tying the GCN for the lowest rating here and falling short of the 4.6 stars the BTCOY2 and 1004950 both carry. Even so, 591 reviews is enough to treat that average as a stable figure.
