I am a beginner and was wanting to know what you guys do? Dip your traps in FMJ or wax your leg holds for coyote?

I wax all my foot holds.

Wax. I've tried dips of all kinds. I always go back to wax.

Tried dip once didn't like it. I'm a wax guy

I haven't waxed for years. FMJ works for me in the arid west. I've heard it can soften up in a wet climate where the ground stays wet for a high percentage of time - I don't know. Lately I have dipped my traps in 50 / 50 Rustoleum primer and latex paint thinned considerably with acetone. I let it dry completely then give it a second thin coat. This wears well and protects the traps. It also doesn't absorb odors the way waxed traps can.

Started out dye and wax, then just dye, now I dip in primer/paint thinner mix. Draw back is they need time to air out to lose the odor.

I have used nearly all the methods over the years. I have gone back to dye and wax.

When I need more clean traps to use when I am on the road I take my traps to the car wash clean them well and dry. Then I wax only before setting out again. That is what I use for all my predator traps.

I cold dip my water traps in a primer most of the time now.
