as long as its in oil Oil will help hold the scentto the spot ya want it.

Stir in some shrimp flavored cat food too.....jk

Coon ain't as picky as people seem to think, go with whatevers the cheapest.

try sardines in tomato sauce, sounds crazy but it works very good.

carp works great.

oil makes a nice slick, pulls"m right in.

I find smoke is better for drawing coons, bears from a distance. When guys up here bait for bears they usually start with smoke fish to help bears find the bait but you can't keep bears coming so after they switch to fresh, pastry etc. I figure coons are the same but if the there's a trap you should get them on the first try, now if you were prebaiting then I'd go the same route as the bear thing.

i have found that i cought more grinners than coon usein sardine oils

always had better luck with jacmac and bacon grease
