[QUOTE="Shanman, post: 4709517, member: 4101"] Try taking a piece of rebar or something similar and make a pilot hole in the center of the trap bed, go as deep as you can and wallow it out some. This pilot hole will give any water that runs into your trap bed a place to go, not so much during heavy rains though. Put a good layer of peat moss in the trap bed, bed the trap, another layer of peat moss, then finish with dry dirt. Pretty sure Minnesota Trapline Products sells the bagged dry dirt made over in Crossville, good stuff. Try staying away from low spots when setting and smear your lure/bait on the underside of a piece of bark, leaf, or something of that nature. Should help your lure from washing out so soon. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
