I watched Bernie Nelsons presentation yesterday at the Rondy.  He is a very successful bobcat cage trapper, uses no visual attractant and no lure on most of his sets, he said once in a while he will put a little castor lure on his beaver bait.

My lures and bait are like a great barbequers marinade. Top secret. I've spent countless hours finding things on my own to be successful, and to me, that's part of the fun trapping.
