Persimmon Paste Bait

The primary advantage is its sticky, thick consistency, which ensures the bait remains inside your trap rather than being easily licked or dragged away. The natural, sweet aroma of real American persimmons also provides a distinct scent profile that can cut through competing odors in the field.

While it is formulated to be particularly effective during the summer and early season when animals are seeking high-sugar food sources, it can be used whenever target species are active. It serves as an excellent seasonal change-up to keep animals interested when they have grown accustomed to your standard baiting routine.

Yes, the thick, paste-like consistency is specifically designed for dog-proof traps. It adheres well to the interior, making it difficult for raccoons or other target animals to reach in and steal the bait without triggering the trap mechanism.

Because the bait uses real fruit, it is highly attractive to bears. If you are trapping in areas with high bear activity, you should consider your trap placement carefully or use equipment strong enough to withstand bear interference.

A small dollop, roughly the size of a tablespoon, is usually sufficient to create a strong scent trail. Because the paste is highly concentrated and sticky, you do not need to use large amounts to achieve the desired effect.
