I'm looking for some recommendations for bait to use in pocket sets for mink and coon. Does anyone have any they made or stuff I can get easily?

I've used bait shrimp in pockets and had really good luck.

Half a muskrat works great, I’ve used cheap tuna in oil as well as bait shrimp as well.

For the mink? Minnows have a high appeal to them. Coon? any fresh type of fish will work. There are alot of good prepared coon and mink baits on the market. A healthy shot of coon lure is also a good idea for the baited pocket sets. Good luck.

When yall say bait shrimp do you mean like the stuff you buy for catfishing from Walmart?

TrapperE yes.
Also talk to bait shops and see if they will save dead minnows for you.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
