Anglers drawn to the highest star rating in this group and willing to pay $13.48, more than double the cheapest Berkley option, for a product with a much smaller review history behind that score.
Skip if
Skip it if you want a proven track record. With only 23 reviews, the sample here is far smaller than the 357 to 5,900 reviews behind the three Berkley alternatives, and at $13.48 it costs the most of the four.

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

Overview
A 4.7 star average is the kind of number that jumps out on a search results page, and that is exactly what the Garj8 1253512 Fish Attractant shows at $13.48. It is the highest rated product in this comparison of four attractants, at least on paper.
The catch is sample size. That 4.7 star figure comes from just 23 reviews, a fraction of the 357 reviews behind the GCN, the 4,600 behind the BTCOY2, or the 5,900 behind the 1004950. A small review count can swing quickly with just a few new ratings, so the gap between a 4.7 average on 23 reviews and a 4.6 average on thousands of reviews is not as clear cut as the star counts alone suggest.
Price adds another wrinkle. At $13.48 the Garj8 costs nearly three times the BTCOY2's $4.56 and almost double the 1004950's $6.97. Its 100 or more units bought last month is also the lowest volume among the four, well behind the 1004950's 2,000 or more and the BTCOY2's 700 or more. For anglers who prioritize a high headline rating over deep review history and are comfortable paying more, it is in stock and available now.

Performance notes
There isn't a published spec sheet for the Garj8 1253512 the way there is for some of the Berkley alternatives, so weight, scent type, and target species are not confirmed here. What is confirmed is the price and the buying pattern: at $13.48 this sits well above the $4.56 to $6.97 range of the three Berkley options, and moving 100 or more units a month while priced that high suggests buyers are seeking it out by name or by that 4.7 rating rather than stumbling onto it as a budget pick. Without listed specs, comparing it directly on scent strength or bottle size to a spec-backed product like the BTCOY2 is not possible, buyers relying on the product page alone should treat the rating and review count as the main available signal until the listing includes more detail.
What buyers say
A 4.7 star average is the strongest score among the four attractants covered here, ahead of the 4.6 marks on the BTCOY2 and 1004950 and the 4.2 on the GCN. The difference is scale. Twenty-three reviews is a small enough base that a handful of very positive early buyers can carry the average, whereas the 4.6 scores on the BTCOY2 and 1004950 are anchored by thousands of reviews each. The 100 or more units bought last month is modest next to the 1004950's 2,000 or more, so the buying pattern reads as a smaller, newer, or more niche product still building its review history rather than an established bestseller.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 4.7 star rating with only 23 reviews trustworthy?
It is a smaller sample than the other attractants here, which have anywhere from 357 to 5,900 reviews. A high average on 23 reviews can shift quickly as more buyers weigh in, so treat it as an early positive signal rather than a settled track record the way the larger-sample products have established.
Why does it cost more than the Berkley attractants?
At $13.48 it costs close to three times the BTCOY2's $4.56 and almost double the 1004950's $6.97. The listing does not break out what drives that price, no material or scent specs are published, so buyers are weighing the higher cost against the 4.7 rating rather than a documented feature difference.
Is it still worth buying given the low sales volume?
It is selling at 100 or more units a month, the lowest of the four attractants compared here, but that is still active, ongoing demand and it remains in stock. Buyers who value the top rating in this group over sheer sales volume may still find it a reasonable pick at $13.48.
