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
An angler who wants an attractant that does double duty, drawing fish by both scent and sight, is the buyer this chartreuse gel is built for. The TGTCJ003 is listed as a Thump Gel Attractant in chartreuse with white and blue flake, a color and material combination none of the Berkley or BAITFUEL products in this comparison specify.
At $13.95, it sits between the cheaper Berkley options, which run $4.56 to $6.97, and the pricier BTBMP-AST1 at $16.42. The gel format and flake color point to a product meant to be visible in the water as much as detectable by smell, a different approach than a plain dough or liquid dip.
Review data shows a 4.4 star average across 185 reviews, ahead of the GCN's 4.2 stars but behind the 4.6 stars shared by the BTCOY2, the 1004950, and the BTBMP-AST1. The 185 review count is also the smallest in this specific comparison. Monthly demand of 100+ units places it in the same lower tier as the BAITFUEL X89668 and the LED YYDG-10-1177, well short of the 700 to 2,000-plus range posted by the higher-volume Berkley sellers.

Performance notes
A gel attractant with visible flake is built to work two angles at once, a scent trail from the gel base and a visual flash from the white and blue flake suspended in the chartreuse color. That combination is different from the plain dough or liquid formats implied by the Berkley alternatives in this comparison, none of which list a flake or two-tone color spec. Chartreuse is a commonly used high-visibility color in stained or murky water, so pairing it with flake suggests the product is designed to stand out rather than blend in. At $13.95, the price sits in the middle of this group, not the cheapest way to add scent to a bait but also not the most expensive. Without a listed weight or size, it is hard to judge how much product comes in a container relative to the price.
What buyers say
A 4.4 star average across 185 reviews is a decent but not exceptional pattern, ahead of the GCN's 4.2 stars but behind the 4.6 stars shared by three other attractants in this comparison. The review count of 185 is also the thinnest in this specific lineup, smaller than every other product here, which means there is less data backing the score even though the rating itself holds up reasonably well. Monthly demand of 100+ units matches the lower tier seen with the BAITFUEL X89668 and the LED YYDG-10-1177, suggesting steady but modest interest rather than the higher-volume repeat buying seen with the top Berkley sellers.
