I usually like to buy and use a few different baits/lures every season.
But my absolute have to have is cavens Hiawatha valley and dobbins Backbreaker.
I got my order from MTP
Yesterday and I’m unfamiliar with the lure Hudson Bay-iron trail lure they sent along with it. Guess we’ll see what happens with it.

Do you guys have an absolute must you have to have/ that you trust??

Carmans Hudson Seal for ‘rats
Billingsleys Chips for beaver
Dobbin’s Backbreaker for beaver
Graham’s Grab and Die for canines
Locklear’s Federales for canines

Most of my coon are snared. The rest are caught in DPs with cat food. The few fox I catch are all snared.

Good, clean, individual male coyote urine.

Jamesons's Fireball for coon, possum, skunks. Feral cats will leave it alone.

Lately with the lower prices its time to experiment and try a few different things. Even the old good stuff doesn't work every year.

I can’t resist throwing a gob of Fur King in a dirt hole. It’s caught me many raccoons and it smells delicious

O yes!!! Can’t help but think about putting a gob of that on some fresh baked bread.

2X

Minnesota special is my favorite. Also several of Lenon's.

Go to bait….. hard to beat red worms
Go to lure….. hard to beat Cleo’s or Rapalas

Sorry,but my head was going to explode if I didn’t type that…… anything by Lenon works for me

For predators- Lenons #3 fox or coyote, Carmans mega musk, June’s Fox Frenzy
Muskrats- Lenons muskrat and carmans MCL100
Raccoons- Lenons muskrat
Beaver- Backbreaker, Woodchipper, bounty beaver

Well, it’s going to happen when prices pick up. Like look at the jump in cats at the recent auctions. You don’t see many offering thier favorite lure and bait for cats.

I like Kaatz bros. Red Label and Dobbins Backbreaker gets used for multiple species.

John Graham,
Bonanza Mild!!

Ground mouse

Dixieland— nothing secretive about what I use…… I’m in fishing mode and just thought it was funny…..

Most of the water trapping I do is setting in runways or where rats are gettin in and out of the water and by feeding areas. I will make my own bait for coons…. and for canines mice or other scraps of meat with a shot of urine…. And truthfully when I do use lure it generally is a Lenon product — I’ll never forget how Asa too the time to talk to me when I was younger….

Cat Cream and Purrfect for cats

Backbreaker for beaver

X2 on anything by John Graham!

Hudson Bay is a great beaver lure. I use it in all seasons for both ADC and fur.

V7, Sierra Mist and Super Bonanza for coyotes and cats.

For Marten lure I make my own. I like mine spicy!

When I’m making dirthole sets for Fox I gotta go with Violator 7 and Canine Force.

Canine Force is nasty!
