Dry cheap bag of catfood and dump in some molasses. You can add all kinds of stuff instead of mollasses, like fish oil, liquid smoke, sardines, mackerel, strawberry jello, anise oil, butterscotch or caramel flavoring, you name it. Those all work well and ive used about all of them too. Keep it simple and cheap, and go have fun. Let us know how you do, too.
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

This is only my second season trapping and it will be the first time I'm really targeting coons. I'm planing to try a few different kinds of bait in baited DP sets: A fruit DP bait I got from traprjohn's Seven Oaks Trapping Supplies ( http://www.sevenoakstrappingsupplies.com/), some fish bait from whatever fish I catch, and some cheap sardines from the store. See what the coons like best. Also going to try out the different lures I got.

Marshmallows are all I have used in the past with great success. I am going to experiment with fruit loops and a few other things this year while prices are low to see if there is a difference in catch rates
Just happy to be here.
