Never used it. If luring I prefer Backbreaker and a Victor 14 hooked up on a slide rod, 10’ length, 1/2” rerod. Definition of death.

Sweetwater flattail is a very good lure. I've heard it's a favorite for many beaver guys.

I've used it. IMO its about as good as the green beaver lure, not as good as Backbreaker and not as good as the lure I make, but it'll catch beavers. Backbreaker is the standard most beaver lures look to become.

I like it. I swap back and forth between it and Backbreaker.

I don't believe that to be the case, it's good lure, just a little on the thin side for me. It'll catch beaver though!

I have used Sweetwater Flattail for 25 years, and the only one I have used, had great success

I've narrowed beaver lure down to 3:

Backbreaker
Wilsons Green
Sweetwater

I'm not trapping beaver now, but if I was, these are what I'd be using.
