I would say you are going to get some very INTERESTING answers for this question. :)  A possum is one of the easiest animals to catch. In fact I just made a set for one about an hour ago that was living under my neighbors house and tearing the insulation all to pieces. I just took a bucket, threw some tainted beaver meat in the back and placed a # 1 1/2 lonspring in front of it. A possum will get in any coon set or canine set. Trappers get aggravated with these little critters for messing up a good coyote or fox set.

If I was actually targeting a possum I would probably make a bucket set or any set will work. The best bait for a possum would be any thing that is STINKY. Rotted fish meat with a skunky canine lure will work good.
