The pelletized carrier is mixed with specific attractants depending on the desired catch and a fish oil is added to coat the pellets and attractant and to allow for the timed release of the attractant. In experiments to date, it has been found that the use of the pelletized carrier and attractant together with the fish oil coating has bee n effective as a bait in attracting catch and has an extended life within the traps.
