I use it as a plug for my dirtholes as well as a lureholder. Just a small piece is all you need. Makes a great visual attractor as well.

I use a golfball size piece also. I removed a coyote for a sheep farmer several years back and he sends me a feed sack full of wool every year now.--JT

I like to use it as the actual attractor and lure holder so it is a style of the flat set. Just tuck it in 1/2 way under a backing or clump of grass and lure.
