June's Baits Widowmaker Predator Paste Bait

Persimmon is a natural attractant that many predators, especially raccoons and foxes, seek out in the wild. Using a fruit-based scent provides a unique profile that can pique the curiosity of animals that have become wary of standard meat or fish-based lures in high-pressure trapping areas.

Yes, the paste consistency is designed to hold up well in varying temperatures. While it may stiffen slightly in extreme freezing conditions, it remains potent and retains its scent profile, making it a reliable option throughout the trapping season.

Absolutely. Many trappers use this as a 'change-up' bait to refresh a set that has gone cold. It works well on its own, but layering it near a gland lure or urine can create a more complex scent trail that draws predators in from a greater distance.

Because it is a paste, it is best applied by smearing a small amount onto a backing, such as a rock, tree trunk, or inside a dirt hole. The paste consistency allows it to stick to vertical surfaces better than liquid lures, keeping the scent concentrated right where you want it.

While formulated specifically for fox, coyotes, and raccoons, the sweet scent of persimmon can occasionally attract other wildlife like opossums or deer. If you are trapping in an area with high non-target activity, consider using a more enclosed set, like a dirt hole or cubby, to limit access.
