Best beaver lures

Lot ok or good ones in castor kind, for what I can smell, backbreaker, smells the best to me, I like blackies blend tail slapper in rain as don't wash off an waterproof but don't smell strong me, just open up some sweet water flatail today an use at 1 set, what in it ? Any good? Don't smell that fantastic, another 1 i like is Carmen's wind river

I hate using Backbreaker. End up with too much weight in the boat, stay up way too late in the fur shop, bad back, on and on.......................

My favorite, and has been for seasons, is Paul's "Beaver Plus". Although there are other lures that do well for me too!

Dobbins Woodchipper. My absolute favorite although not considered a castor lure.

I liked Backbreaker the best. I started making my own lure three years ago, with the goal of producing something similar to Paul’s Backbreaker. My stuff works, but it’s a cheap imitation to to the good real thing. Kinda like going to Walmart and buying their knock off soda pop.

If you can't catch Beaver using "BACKBREAKER" you should not be Trapping Beaver. 100% guaranteed!

Sweetwater Flattail and Bob's Green are both excellent,I use Andy's Waterline Call mainly for bobcat and martens it's very good on beaver as well.

There are several good commercial beaver lures. Backbreaker is a fine one and Fox Hollow's Dam-a-Dam.

But, it is extremely hard to beat raw castor juice and/fresh sac oil....

Yes dam a dam is top notch I rember it long ago, had good success different kinds, trapper art made good beaver lure , maraks is good, never try keg creek, should be good, what is in sweetwater flat tail ?

backbreaker

or ogromans as a changeup

backbreaker is my go to though

Been using Paul Grimshaws beaver lure #22 since my early years, over 25 years.
Couple years ago when I heard Paul was getting out of business. I ordered several large bottles of it.
Its taken hundreds of beaver in all seasons. I do full time ADC beaver control.
Still got a life time supply. Now I have been making it into paste
And its lasting longer on sets and extending my supply.
I use others with good success. WCS Beaver Blaster and Mark Junes
Flat Tail Frenzy. I use couple on my own that are food based. These are limited to
Mid winter thaw or ice out but are killer for couple weeks
First thing in spring. Basically poplar bud oil and birch in paste.

Dunlaps big pile

Some taste better than others on crackers.

I haven't trapped beaver for the past few years but I tried a few before Backbreaker and, when I saw how well it worked, I looked no further. I don't think a beaver can smell it and not check it out.

Backbreaker
Wilson's Green
Sweetwater

Dave, check out Dale Billingsley's Swamp Master, Chips or Cypress Breaks beaver lures. I've good success using all of these.

Mine

I make my own. But honestly with the price of castor the last couple years it would be cheaper to buy it, mine is almost straight castor and with most commercial lures selling at $20 for 4 ounces that comes out to $80/pound for lure, which is what castor is going for now, last year I sold my castor for $95/pound.

The only beaver lure I currently have on hand is backbreaker. It works.

The waterproof tail slapper seems to stay on lure stick for days, go on 10 days, after heavy rains, I use another lure stick with other brand, more rain, is old tailslapoer good or relure for rain, ?

5 stars for Blackie's Blend "Tail-Slapper" when it comes to weatherproof ability

Tom Brady keeps winning me jars of backbreaker ....people just keep betting against him....lol

Backbreaker
Woodchopper
Bob Wilson's
For waterproof castor and sac oil seems to hold up well

I've got 3 in my bag. Backbreaker, beaver plus, and pingleys beaver slapper.

I don't do a lot of beaver trapping, but have had good success with Caven's Timber beaver lure. The castor smell sure stands out in it to me.

Bob Wilson's green beaver lure
Kaatz bros beaver lure
Backbreaker

Back breaker, Bob Wilsons and sweet water flat tail. Then pop bud oil.
