Not really sure, but not as much as most of the people on YouTube. I do know that I buy more than I use. I'm getting quite the collection.
When life gets me down..... you know hunting/trapping season is closed.

I'm no longliner but I use several hundred pounds of bait over the winter.I always have plenty and leave lots out on the trapline in late winter after the season is over.Very little if any lure besides for some open water beaver.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I probably use around 48 ounces. That's trapping beavers for 9 months. Thought for sure you'd be in triple digits. Goes to show less is more!

Trapping 5 months or so for coyotes, part time.... less than 4oz in lure. Bait of course is higher, but I only use it at 20% or less sets so somewhere between 8-16oz

Probably 15-18 of the 4-ouncers and quite a bit of bait. Not sure, but thinking I fill the gallon jug 10-12 times or so.

1/4-1/2 oz? not much, dip a twig at each set is all I was told to use (long, long time passing) and that has worked well. Usually what clings to a match stem can be smelled by me ten days later and if it has not worked by then, obviously I put the set in the wrong place. Some lures it takes a bit more and those lures really have to show me something or they don't stay in my bucket long.
There use to be a thread with pictures of different size gobs on a qtip "what's your number"- was a great discussion of how much lure and ran several pages, but I can't find it now...as I recall the biggest gob was lima bean size and the most chosen size was pea size.
>ed> but, I don't trap all year-- fur only, so from about Thanksgiving to the first week of January If I was doing control work year round two things; I'd set a lot more traps every day because of no skinning time and there are a lot more days in a year ...

I can get about 20-25 of these in a 1oz bottle. Then I must get a 100-150 per oz. I know I never kept track of it. That is about how much I'd use if it was a bait like Appleroad.

I guess I am odd man out limabean size or better but really never worry about it stick in the knife in a jar pull some out. I almost never re lure even after bad storms.
