What’s a better bait under ice for rats? Carrot or apple or both work?

Orange, yellow, or white electrical tape around the triggers. Save yourself the time and grief trying to mess with bait while out on the ice.

I peel a potato to use for baited 330's under ice for beaver, I've had plenty of rats trip the 330 trying for a chunk of potato
