Guest MickyB Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Aye meat is good for a bait hook, even tinned luncheon meat works well. Best results come when the food supply they are normally finding to feed on is taken away, or made inaccesible, otherwise most of them will disregard bait in the trap and carry on with their usual feeding.

dytkos 17,918 Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 i always use chocolate never fail with twix% catch rate (only 3/3) since baiting my live catch traps. HTH. Cheers, D. I always used to use chocolate, Maltesers being my best catchers but on the advice of Moletrapper, bird table fat balls are the biz. 100% catch rate since switching (only 3/3) In catch alive traps but confident of several more. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post
