Our verdict
The Menhaden Oil Fish Attractant comes in a 32 ounce size for $32.90 and holds a 4.2 star average across 66 reviews. That is the largest bottle and the highest price in this comparison by far, but its bought-last-month figure of 100 or more matches the smallest volume here.

Anglers who go through a lot of oil-based attractant and want a bulk 32 ounce bottle instead of restocking small containers, and who are comfortable paying $32.90 for that larger volume.
Skip if
Skip it if budget matters more than bottle size. At $32.90 it costs several times more than the $4.56 to $6.97 range of the Berkley attractants, and its 66 reviews and 100 or more monthly buyers are modest next to the largest sellers here.

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
A 32 ounce jug is a different category of purchase than the small squeeze bottles most anglers reach for. The Menhaden Oil Fish Attractant is sized for exactly that larger use case, priced at $32.90 and holding a 4.2 star average across 66 reviews.
That price is well above anything else in this comparison. The Berkley BTCOY2 runs $4.56, the GCN runs $5.62, and the 1004950 runs $6.97, all a fraction of the Menhaden Oil's $32.90. Some of that gap is explained by volume, 32 ounces is a much larger quantity than a typical squeeze bottle, so the per-ounce cost is not necessarily out of line, though the listing here does not break down cost per ounce for a direct comparison.
On rating, 4.2 stars across 66 reviews puts it in line with the GCN's 4.2 across 357 reviews, though on a smaller sample. Its 100 or more units bought last month matches the GCN and the Garj8 attractant as the lowest volume tier in this set, trailing the BTCOY2's 700 or more and the 1004950's 2,000 or more by a wide margin. That pattern fits a bulk, higher-cost product bought less frequently but in larger quantity per purchase.

Performance notes
A 32 ounce bottle is built for anglers who go through attractant fast or who dose bait in bulk rather than spot-treating a single lure, that scale changes the math on cost per session even though the sticker price of $32.90 looks steep next to a $4.56 bottle a fraction of the size. Menhaden oil itself is a long-standing base ingredient in fish attractants, prized for its natural oil content, though this listing does not specify concentration or additional ingredients beyond the name. With only 66 reviews and a 4.2 star average, the track record is thinner than the Berkley lineup's, but the rating lands in the same range as the GCN's 4.2 across a much larger 357 reviews, suggesting comparable buyer satisfaction even without the larger sample size to back it.
What buyers say
At 4.2 stars across 66 reviews, the Menhaden Oil Fish Attractant matches the GCN's rating exactly, even though the GCN's score is backed by more than five times as many reviews. That smaller sample means the 4.2 average could move more with new reviews than a score built on hundreds or thousands of ratings. Its 100 or more units bought last month places it in the same lower-volume tier as the GCN and the Garj8 attractant, well behind the BTCOY2's 700 or more and the 1004950's 2,000 or more. The pattern suggests a smaller, specialty audience rather than a mainstream bestseller, likely anglers already sold on oil-based attractants specifically.

Frequently asked questions
Is the 32 ounce size worth the $32.90 price?
It depends on how much attractant you use. The bottle is far larger than the Berkley options here, which run $4.56 to $6.97 for much smaller sizes, so buyers who go through product quickly may find the larger format more convenient even at the higher upfront cost.
How does its rating compare to other attractants?
At 4.2 stars across 66 reviews it matches the Berkley GCN's 4.2 star average, though the GCN's score comes from 357 reviews, a much larger sample. Both fall short of the 4.6 star averages posted by the BTCOY2 and the 1004950 in this comparison.
Is demand for this attractant strong?
It is selling at 100 or more units a month, the lowest volume tier among the four attractants compared here, tied with the GCN and Garj8 listings. That is still ongoing, active demand and the product remains in stock, just not at the pace of the BTCOY2 or the 1004950.
