One of my favorite parts of trapping season is trying new lures and baits. This year I ran my standard favorites but I also leaned very heavy on Kegs Creek. I relied heavier on KCBL than I do normal brands. Marty is in my home state, an hour away, and a number of reviews were really very positive. So I took the gamble. I absolutely don't regret it at all. My son and I had personal bests on both coyote and bobcat this year by a large margin. Not only that, we stopped at Marty's place and picked up a few more the last week of December for a cold rolling trip down to Missouri. We nailed them there too. We didn't score on every product we bought from him but the one's that did produce, produced over and over for us. 95% of our efforts were directed at coyote and a modest 5% effort or so at catching our bobcat quota. I'll share what worked for us and feel that it is best to not share what didn't. My reasoning for that is because you may find different results in your area and using your style of trapping. Additionally, I didn't use everything in his arsenal either. The ones listed below caught fur throughout the season and as crazy as it may sound, I believe his lures made me a better trapper. I feel this way because they made me think about the critters we were after and I had to devise a methodology and approach that keyed in on some coyote evolutionary traits. That might sound crazy or sound like I'm trying to throw some big words around but that is not my intent at all. The right lure at the right time conveys the message that you are trying to present with the construction of each set. Kegs Creek-Marty Smith has the answer.

Disclaimer: I have never had a face to face or phone call conversation with Marty. When we stopped at his place, he had just left for Kansas that morning and we ended up being helped by the Mrs. A purely unsolicited plug with zero expectations or hope of anything in return. Yes, I think they are that good.
