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.

Also bought all of our urine from him.

Marty has some good products 1-11 Decoy,Punisher,S.S. and A-1 have worked well for me.Marty's Kick ases horse bait is good also.

I mostly use Marty’s and John Graham’s baits and lures, and I always have excellent results. I have talked to Marty a couple times at conventions and he is the real deal. He has given me some helpful advice a time or two.

I have used his urine before. It is very good

I left little smears of Pacific Call on several places here today.

I agree. Bought his lures in off season and they have been productive. Will be a stable now for me.

His Algonquin lure works good

His Slayer is really good for late season flat sets. His SS has been my most constant food/curiosity scent for 4 seasons.

Marty and Julie great people great to do business . Their Lures have caught me a lot fur over the years.
Red

I use his baits, good stuff.

Gary,Slayer is a new one like 8 ball Marty sent me some about 4 years ago,it works Punisher is my best producer so far,then SS,great people for sure.

Marty is a good guy, I have never used anything of his that didn't produce. I hear he's been getting his urine from that vet out in Indiana which if it's true is nothing but a positive!

I've talked to Marty a couple of different times at various conventions. A real stand up guy and very helpful. I've tried 4 or 5 of his baits, they just didn't work for me. That being said, I've used several other baits from some of the heavyweights with the same results. What works for one doesn't necessarily work for all. I'll definitely try his stuff again.

I just ordered some of his lures on Monday after reading all the positive feedback on here. Never expected it till atleast Friday but it's here already. Definitely fast shipping. Can't wait to give it a try.

I was told there was a thread on here about our products. Thanks for the Good words, Julie and I try to treat everyone like how we like to be treated. All of my product are tested for years before labeled to sell and from all corners and in between in the United States. Thanks Again!

Thanks for coming on here and commenting. I like to see this and will try some of your lures.

I have had good results with Whiplash. Marty sent this to me last year to try. I have enjoyed dealing with Marty. Great guy and great products

.

Marty sent me some wiplash Knowing I'm not a bait guy. Trapped a beautiful blond phase yesterday that dug down thru 8 inches of crusted snow to get at it. I guess i'm a bait guy now LOL.. I put it to work for 7 checks, so far 5 coyotes. All the sets were wiplash only, no urine or lure added. Dangit Marty LOL
