It is something I've been 'playing around with', since I couldn't get Dip from D.O.A. I wanted to run it through some hard test before offering it to the public.

It stays on great until you catch 3 or 4 coon and then, well........ LLL Isaiah 51:6 But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail.

The reason I haven't offered it to the public yet. It works well on fox muskrat and beaver traps. 'Coon are the real test and our 'coon season here was very short.
