Ok, I have or had, most of the big name top o the line fox/yote lures. But I also like to try lesser known diamonds in the rough once in a while. Instead of perusing feebay for oddballs, what little talked about lure has surprised you?

Spent deep fry oil from my buddy’s fish and chips shop seems to work as good as most other lure for me. For coyotes anyway
Since I get it free by the 50 gallon load, the price is certainly right.

Burtons seems well made, time will tell.

Jim masts lures from sterling fur

Forsyth's K9 triple take has been my go to. Works well on coyote, fox and bobcat.

The most productive dirt hole bait I have used is one I make for myself with fox meat

For the most part I use flat sets with gland and curiosity lures. But I've tried many baits commercial ones and just does not work as well. 2nd best has been just pieces of rabbit, mink and wood chuck


Now for coons and opossum and skunks, they all work

Slims gh3 and grampas black magic

James Tates Wolfen brand lures...very good
JC Connors lures....very good
Tom Beaudettes lure....very good
Slim's Lures....very good
Wayne Derricks lures...very good
Andy Weisers lures....very good
I could go on not sure who's stuff you've tried....lots of good stuff out

That's a whole bunch of stuff I've never came across. Thanks for the suggestions, shopping time!

I want to try some of Slim's stuff

Milligan's cat-man-do has been my go to for yrs. Killer on cats and yotes.

7oaks stuff is solid - sevenoakstrappingsupplies.com

Marak's High Quality Lures (Formerly marketed under the Sheda's name) are very good. The #1 Red Fox lure and #1 Fox and Coyote bait is an aewsome combination. If you can find them at conventions they typically run great deals on their stuff there.

A few years back, I complied a list of all the brands of lure on the market. At that time there were 72 different brands. I'm sure that number has increased by now.

Probably lots of hidden gems out there.

I think theres a lota hidden gems out there lol. My buddy started making lure about 5 years back, and started selling two years ago. All my cats were on his lures this year, and there has been a lot of dead yotes in its name. My favorite is his for sure, but after that id have to go with andys and milligans cat man do.

Salmon sludge, from 7 oaks, really good stuff, lots of activity at your set for all critters

One old time lure I really miss is the O.L.Butcher line.He had a winter lure for coyotes that was really thick and put it out there when the temps dropped.Apparently when he died so did his line.

Law Dog sent me some with some oil that I bought. Very good stuff.
Dobbins bait solution, without the bait. I had it in my garage and a fox or coyote came in, tried to take the cap off of it.
JC Connors like everything else is makes is great stuff.

His coon lure and chunk mink and coon bait were great stuff too.

Dobbins’ Backbreaker is a well known lure, but I thought it was just for beaver. Someone on here a few years ago told me how well it works on dogs and I have found it works great in canine sets. So I guess it’s not well known for that....at least i never knew.
