A flathead minnow is a small freshwater fish native to North America. It is commonly used as a bait fish for fishing due to its hardiness and availability. Flathead minnows are also used in scientific research for aquatic toxicity testing.
The bait works well as a wounded baitfish imitator, so it will work for many species.
You could trap a shrew with a havahart trap. Bait it with sardines, or peanut butter with Meal worms. If you don't catch it, hire some to do it for you.
Animal Control has told me to use raw bacon with salt dumped on it.
A mouse trap works by using a bait to lure a mouse into a triggering mechanism, such as a spring-loaded metal bar, which snaps shut when the mouse touches it. This mechanism is designed to trap and kill the mouse instantly.
That depends on what you are trying to trap, but look for where what it is you are after is traveling and place it along the route. Bait may will help lead them to the trap also.
Not sure if you mean small Shad and other forage or actual minnows sold at bait shops but either way a casting net is best for all of the above rather than any lure.
