Read in charlie dobbins land sets book, rolling on something smelly is almost always followed by urge to urinate on some prominant object nearby.
A flat set with a lure that causes rolling in some animals (not all, some) you can take the rollers with a post set made nearby with only a shot of urine.
In good locations, I make 2 sets and sometimes a 3rd. One is always a dirthole/bait, and 2nd is usually a post set/urine. If I add a third set it's usually a flat set with some different lure. Those flat sets I like to use beaver caster or mink gland lure...something really different.
As other have pointed out, try to appeal to lots of senses. I do this with multiple sets vs one set with multiple smells. Probably not the right way but I have had many surprises by this approach.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
