I use it for beaver sets mainly at castor mounds or portable pockets. You can get creative with it for other animals that are curious. Or use it on your fishing rods at night if you forgot your lantern

Sure brought in the curious coons the one time I've seen it used. I never bought a jar I have enough trouble keeping them out.

I used that last season on beaver. Had a real big increase in catches. But I don't know if I can credit that or the change in lure as I used back breaker. Probably more to do with Backbreaker

I like to flag my bobcat sets with a duck wing on a swivel. The duck wings are Mallard or Gadwalls. The bottom side of these wings is a nice bright white. I put a smear of Unfair Advantage on the white side of those wings. I catch bobcats in sets with this type of flagging.

Does the Unfair Advantage help? I like to think so, but I don't really know. I catch more bobcats now using Unfair Advantage than I did years ago when not using Unfair Advantage. But that probably isn't an apples to apples comparison. I catch more coyotes now than I used to years ago because I'm probably better at trapping now.

One more thought. I catch bobcats at times in no eye appeal flat sets made for coyotes. So clearly glow in the dark attractors isn't the only factor to a good bobcat set.

The guy that used to top your state's season's cat catch every year in a few weeks of trapping has stated many times he simply used dirtholes which were intended for coyotes. As you've already pointed out there's many factors to catching those goofy cats. I wish we could use real feathers here....I like to throw the kitchen sink at cats...I'm probably overdoing it.
