Any thing with a Minty smell will get their attention I find. Might try a brush float as well.
You may think before you act. The question is did you listen to your own council?

Actually yes I do. Use whatever is on hand.

Strongly recommend Caven's bread and butter with a dropper. Put one drop on a carrot and will really get their attention with the scent and eye appeal.

While they are now defunct, back in the 1980's a place called Deer Creek had cheap lures, and one I ordered as an All Call. It was castor based, some licorice and I used it on rats, on floating platforms, using the H frame design with trash a rat recognizes as a pile in the middle and a #1 long spring on each end. Nail with a head cut off to keep the traps on. I could not keep the rats off of them. Any all call with that base should work ON LOCATION. I would suggest the first priority is to make something the rat will crawl up on as that is the main attractant to them. They are curious little things and will investigate things that seem useful to them. As you mentioned you can not find the submerged holes, get your tile spade out and make some at waterline where they can see, and will feel comfortable from predators in having some cover. Anything today that would compare to that product?

I placed a MTP order over a certain dollar amount and was allowed 1 free oz of lure. That's what I chose. Good to know only 1 drop is enough.
