A 1.5 coil and your favorite raccoon lure (Cavens and Hawbakers make excellant lures) will catch a lot of coons (make sure you are setting on sign)

pocket sets with fish and fish oil and a 1.5 cs or 11ls on a sapling drag will work good

I thought you realy were asking for help! Now I see why some folks dont want to even attempt to help people out... If you realy need the help fine but this is just another post that is looking for drama!!!

you need to do some research.

Find the archives or just google raccoon trapping basics.

Sorry to be blunt but If you cant help yourself then who can?

That's what the big boys tell me. Why bother learning how to make a good set, reading trapping books and watching videos, and buying good lure and bait when this is so easy?

Gentleman--If you do not care to participate with helpful answers--please don't bother posting on the subject.
THIS IS THE KIDS FORUM,Plain and simple.
Questions are what its all about.
To those that have all the answers,everything is simple.To those that don't its a different story.
Jr. Forget about tinfoil.As mentioned,pocket sets are a very good set. I use them with a slider into deeper water.i bait my pockets with fish,or shellfish bait.I also lure and use fish oil.
