The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Some fishing trips call for a bait that already comes pre-shaped and scented rather than something you mold onto a hook yourself, and FishBites 0101 Fish Attractant fits that need. It ships as two pieces, each 12 inches by half an inch, in a flesh and orange gel colored to mimic natural bait, priced at $7.50.
At 12 by 0.5 inches per strip, each of the two pieces is long enough to wrap around a hook shank or lay alongside a bait rig, and the gel material means it should hold shape and scent release better than a loose dough. The flesh and orange coloring is a common pattern for baits meant to mimic cut bait or shrimp, giving it a visual cue on top of the scent itself. At $7.50 for two pieces, it costs slightly more than Berkley's cheapest attractant at $4.56 but less than Berkley's priciest at $6.97.
The review numbers back up the price. A 4.6 star average across 23 reviews ties Berkley's BTCOY2 and 1004950 for the best rating in this comparison. Bought last month sits at 500+, solid demand though behind Berkley's BTCOY2 at 700+ and 1004950 at 2,000+. At $7.50 it costs a bit more than Berkley's cheapest option but the combination of a top-tier rating and strong recent sales makes it a reasonable pick among gel-style attractants.

Performance notes
Two pieces at 12 inches by half an inch each gives you a decent total length of scented bait to work with, enough to cut into smaller sections for multiple hooks or wrap a longer strip around a single rig. The gel material is meant to hold together better than a loose dough while still releasing scent steadily in the water, and the flesh and orange coloring is built to visually resemble cut bait or shrimp rather than a bright, purely attractant-style color. At $7.50 for the pack, the cost per piece works out higher than buying a single large tub, but the pre-shaped strips save the step of molding bait by hand onto the hook, which some anglers prefer for speed when rebaiting often during a session.
What buyers say
A 4.6 star average across 23 reviews ties this product with Berkley's BTCOY2 and 1004950 for the highest rating in this comparison, though its review count of 23 is far smaller than those two, which sit at 4,600 and 5,900. What stands out is demand: bought last month at 500+ is a strong figure, ahead of Berkley's GCN at 200+ and edging closer to BTCOY2's 700+, even without the deep review history those established products carry. The pattern suggests a well-regarded product that is gaining traction quickly, with buyer satisfaction and current sales both trending positive even though the total review count has not caught up yet.
