You'd be much better served to set your traps and let them soak overnight. A 3 hour soak wont likely result in 3# of mud bugs, even if the area is absolutely loaded with them. It takes a while for the scent to disperse enough for them to pick up on it, then follow the scent to the trap, then find their way inside. Depending on the type of trap, once their in, they'll not get out. Let your traps work for you.
i have big bag of dry cat food but no pantyhose toput it in to makeit stay so i guess ill get a can of sardines and halfway open so they go inside or even frozen cut bait i have n freezergot some spotted bass chunks
also moneys a bit tight atm so instead of buying rope for the traps can i use nylon rope that i use for my ban poles when fishing for catfish? its about 80 pound testline id think it would be ok for a small 12 dollar eagle claw trap
