I know that some of his rat lures were top notch and I only have a couple of little jars of it and wanted to get some more, but I didn't know if the guy he sold to would make them again or not. Or if any of you guys know where a guy can get some, like a random hole in the wall place or something. Or maybe if any of you guys know of a lure similar to his highwater, hurricane, and laughing lady lures, let me know also. I'm just looking for some alternatives to my normal rat lures. Thanks in advance! -TheYouthTrapper

Seems to be happening more and more lately. It's very sad to see it happen in front of your eyes. It just makes a guy wish he had all this kind of money to buy them out so a guy could still make them.

Not sure if there is rat lure They've been on clearance since last spring and I was going to buy a bunch of the rat lure but I got on it too slow and it was gone by the time I did. The rat lures probably sold out in 2-3 weeks.

Yep, I used up about 3 ounces of that before I busted the jar all over the driveway one day, and lost another 4 ounce jar when I left it on the bumper another day. But for the time that I did use it, it worked really good, only bad part was the glass jar.
