It was the only thing I had in my truck at the Time. I wasn't prepared to use lure on these sets.

I have witnessed house cats go nuts for Flexall 454. The had a longer and more intense reaction to it than to valerian or catnip.
If bobcats reacted half as much to it as housecats do...It would be the greatest bobcat lure of all time.

a little confused... you are asking about lured muskrat sets, but the trap sets you show are under water. How - what are you trying to lure?

well, lure sets are only effective above water. muskrats and beaver have their noses sealed shut when submerged... visual baits or blind sets only
