Skunky Backbreaker

… looks like there may be more work involved in the scent proof packaging than the making of the stuff lol

… it’s stout !

The wildcats are in trouble

Did the package stink like skunk????

No sir but I sure did after opening all the packing and putting in the shed lol .. the wildcats don’t stand a chance with that kind of kick … I’ve used it before with good results… just don’t remember it being that stout… you must have sent a fresh batch lol

Next year I'm going to have to get some.

That was actually from an earlier batch. It was formulated back in June. I have one customer who buys a bottle e very year and puts it on a shelf for a year. He said when aged one year, it's just right for him.

Starting to sound like a bartles and james commercial.

.. thanks for the childhood memory Jtrap

… have you watched any of my movies yet lol

probably got some Boones strawberry wine videos too checking out hammers

… that Boone’s farm too strong for Jtrap .. a wild berry wine cooler is more his speed

I am a bit surprised by the first comments in this thread. I tried skunky back breaker this year for the first time but was very underwhelmed with the smell. I even had a friend (non trapper) with a sensitive nose test it and they got didnt get any skunk smell. My jar has a weird rotten meat type smell over the standard back breaker and I figured that was what paul was going for. I may have to give it another try next year and order another jar for next season and give it a second shot. I was sort of expecting something close to a cross between back breaker and cavens gusto but thats not what i got.

.. never experienced what your talkin about smattz… in fact im scared to open it…afraid a little skunk might jump out and climb me like a tree

Don’t worry,,,, he will not fall far…….

.. good one Vinke 5’ 9” ain’t much of a drop… I think your nose is the same length?

Air is free,,,,, suck it in …….
5’ 2 is even safer………..

I never had the issue referenced above, everytime I got it in, it was sho nuff skunky and beaver castor strong. Savell and I caught a lot of critters on that lure.

I remember a beaver trapper friend that used Skunky Back Breaker one year on his beaver line and waylaid the chisel tooths.
He commented that his lure wasn't over powering with skunk but had just enough skunk to give it a little extra kick to call them flat tails.
Think he caught 90 plus beaver that year

I have not had that experience at all. I can easily smell both Castor and Skunk, even at cold temps.

I will order another bottle next fall and give it a second chance. Thanks for those who reached out to me.

I have had good luck with it on marten & wolverine. I also used the dirt from the packaging and caught a couple reds although they showed an inclination to roll.

The packaging was just as potent as the product !!

Good stuff IMO !

It works best on a PB&J. Toasted.

I'm planning on using it for wolverine

Video or it never happened.

How would the smell not be contained to the jar?

I hear this complaint often on tman.
It has to be something in the packaging process.
The only stinky lures I have ordered,,, were from Bobby J and Ace when he was alive.....
No smell problem until opened.....

I have had the postmaster complain more than a few times when I have received different lures. Especially skunky stuff.

Certain odors escape. Skunk being one of them

Why,,,,,, ???
I have rotten stuff..
I have whoever Skunks rotten down.
Cheap lids are the problem....
Add a layer of Vaseline

I banged my beaver plus (big Jar)against my truck to shake it up.....

The thing cracked......
Cheap China crap........

Temp was 43

Don't buy Chinese trucks !

Ohhhhhh,,,, a rebellion?

I'm no stinkoligist, but I'm guessing science.

Something in the essence is smaller in particle size than something in the lid (paper or plastic) or glass. Same reason nitrogen infused beers like Guinness can't be carbonated in a glass jar. The nitrogen escapes through the glass and it goes flat.

Probably the same reason skunky lures that sit in jars on the shelf for a few years lose some of their punch.


Sealed mylar bags seems to keep the skunk contained. As does the metal ammo can I keep my skunky lures in.

I have to agree. Just like blood can migrate through the plastic of a Ziploc bag. The blood molecule is smaller than the "holes" between the plastic molecules. Just like the molecules of flatulence can pass through various layers of different materials.

I've gotten away from using dirt to package the skunky lures. I use a mylar bag inside another mylar bag. It seems to hold down the odor nicely. I have a box with three bottles of skunky backbreaker in it right now on the table in the house, and Rhonda hasn't said a thing. That tells me the bags are doing the trick.

LOL Proof positive !!

lol....the wife....the ultimate tester

Hide one in the dishwasher and see if she discovers it ))

It's been a couple of years since we've used the dishwasher. We just do the dishes by manually. I can't afford to put it in there, because I'll forget where I put it, and it needs to be shipped tomorrow. I could write a note reminding me where I put it, but then I'd have to remember where the note is.

Went ahead and made a product review motion picture on it

… I go to all that trouble to make a product review and not as much as a screw you … get a real job… or a kick in the gonads

… last time I try to do something nice around here lol

Lick it......!!!@

… I will for the right price

5 bucks.......

That won’t even buy a can of snuff

8.99

…. Bidding starts @ 500$

I just bought a new dishwasher yesterday and had it installed. Can't do without one, thats the only way to clean new traps really well. I wore the other dishwasher out after 17 years.

I am out,,, ate with better looking girls for less..

… went ahead and reviewed your cat LDC while I was at it Mr Bob

Guatamalan?????

Ain’t that what you put on your takos at the Messican el restaurantoes?
That green stuff made from aardvark toes?

Askin for a friend in Texas…….

lol…..stuff works … I got alot of respect for yall lure formulators…makes my job easy when I get after em

… can’t wait for February

Fantastic! I was thinking the stuff I had was called "Spicy" Backbreaker. I will need to dig the jars out this weekend and see if I can still read the labels. I bought it for use on cats but I was thinking "Spicy" was in the name. Maybe I will try to make a video of taste testing the jars.

You must be thinking of Spicy AK Purrrfect.

Savell be trying to sell me shop towels on infomercials late at night before long. Im working in a skunky area the past two weeks, already caught a blue ribbon prize winning one in a cage, luckily it was a williams i could gently turn over so the stinker could let himself out, one's ran over in the road stink forever though!

lol … ol Jtrap feeling groggy after landing his new cinnamon coon trapping partner

… i would try that spicy purrrfect down here but’d be afraid I’d catch a lynx

Nah, it's just skunk Purrrfect.

… liable to call one down.. along with a wolverine ridin an Eskimo… I don’t need that in my life right now

Hey then the gov. might want to do a study and i could run down with my trusty assistant and visit, lol

lol … ol gal work with you or the farmers daughter?

she's the brains of our operation, been here a few years.

… good to see you have some supervision … let me know if you’re still havin trouble catching pigs lol

What you get for using them scented candle's for bait.

…. How many cartons of Winston’s do you get for Christmas?

1 if im lucky, usually just two packs, they cost more than Dobbins lures now!

Lmao

I didn't just got to ND TWICE to pheasant hunt! Camels are $30 carton cheaper over there.

Hahaha

My Wife said, why is the NEW dishwasher full of Your New traps!!! Hahaha

I said just removing the food grade oil on them so they rust faster.

Most people don't know that you should clean the drain filter every month or sooner.

Now we are a home improvement site also.....

I just use the dishwasher for traps. Never gets any food clogging the filter. The trap oil just runs thru the filter with no problem. My filter is lifetime.

Thanks Bob for the info you posted about using mylar bags for shipping stinky stuff. Works great!

I have been using them for years now Paul.

Some postal delivery folks gave their customers notice about our stinky boxes and they made me aware of it. So I tried several methods until I tested the mylar pouches and found them to do a good job.

I also put a small piece of shop towel scented with spearmint oil into the pouches to help mask any possible leakage of odor. They aren't cheap but it may help us all down the road before odor restrictions are put into place.

Savell, all these motion pictures you are making you need to start a Youtube channel

Wouldn't be long before a couple things went viral. Then you'd be making money off your motion pictures and living the good life

Might even make yourself enough money for a nice new pellet grill
