I don't have control of the tv anymore, got a 4 year old living here, spongebob is his hero and i now know more about spongebob, scooby doo, barney and power rangers than i ever wanted to, lol. My version of a smear set, is to take your boot and just 'smear' a spot on the bank at water's edge, put a few drops of sac oil on the smear and set a large foothold trap under the water under it. Great set for spooked beaver that won't fool with snares or conibears. Not my circus, not my clowns.
