I thought I would mention a little about some lures Ive used for years and some that I have recently found to be great. Seems we have a few guys just starting and could use the info.

Ive been trapping for about 20 years and the list of lures I have tried is pretty long to say the least. As with anything else, I have come to trust a select few to uses year after year. Bear in mind I target cats, coons, coyotes, and the occaisional fox. Some of my old favs are Gusto, Steppenwolf I and II, Pro's Choice, Catmando, Mink Master, Cawfish Oil, Yodel Dog, Coons Casket, Moonshine, Sweetwater Flattail.

Some of the more recent lures I have tried that I believe are top notch are VooDoo, Violator 7, GH II, and Bounty Hunter.

My favorite 2 lures would be Violator 7 and Gusto, with GH II and VooDoo being right there with them.

As for baits I have a couple I make and a couple commercial. I buy Hiawatha Valley (awesome), Minnesotsa Predator, and Bush Wacker.

Hope this helps some of the new trappers out. I know I am always pondering the next best lure.

I use the same as you do on lures I think that Caven's brand lures and baits are the best , I also have really good luck with Blackiesblend , Light foot and Ranger these 2 lure are really good for yotes, cats, and coons, and fox

Thanks for the info.

Now for the stupid question.....where can a guy buy the stuff?

www.minntrapprod.com

I buy all my lures, baits and urine from Minnesota Trapline. If you buy once you will see why.

Its been awhile since I trapped much, but I used to really like Garold Weilands lures, especially his Big Deuce and Winter Big Deuce. Those two lures were fantastic!!

Big Duece is a good one from way back. Ive caught a lot of critters with it. Havent used it in years.
