Everyone’s method is the best and if you don’t do it like them you are wasting your time. You will get similar differences of opinions on most every question you ask. All suggestions are what works best for a given person. It might take a few tries to come up with a method that works for you. The fun part is experimenting and finding your sweet spot on all things trapping related.

Just boil in something with tannins ( bark or sumac berries or walnut hulls) and wax them. No need to rust new traps. Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.
