What is the Best safety gripper for conibears and where do you get them? I can't find them on minnesota trapline products.

I don't know if there is a best one,,but from what I have been told some of them won't fit all brands of 330 traps. I went to the Minnesota site and found the safety gripper in about 5 seconds. Use their search engine, called quick find, and type in safety and then click that little icon to the right of the box.
I bought a safety gripper from Bogmaster and it is suppose to fit all brands.

Thanks Double set, Hey I am new to conibears and it seems it hard to get the dog to stay set when trying to set them, these are belises and it just seems when I flip it onto the trigger it is too shallow. Am I missing something.

Thanks

You will get more responses if you'll start a new thread with an eye catching title. Don't just title it" Need Help" or "I have a question". Most won't read it. Title it something like; for instance, "Belisle 330 trigger problem". I 'll bet that someone will come to the rescue right quick like.

Scuffler, just pass a round file several times through the trigger notch untill it stays set then give it a shot of paint primer.

I use wire to tie the jaws.I set my triggers on the bottom.When set,all I do is reach over the top and snip the wires.If it fires,my hand and fingers are out of reach.Works for me.

I like the SCM safety locks. Easy to attach, easy to remove. Just remember to put the safety on first thing, no matter what. If you use Dukes or Victors, the spring safeties are always slipping off. OUCH! (I've never caught myself....NOT!)

I like the Canadian Ram-Lock. I welded half a chain link to mine and attached a piece of 1/16th cable and a clip, I keep it clipped to my jacket and use it all the time. I like it better than the other grippers I have. easier to use and works on my ram snares too.

I use the regular one that has been around for a while...I think it was billed as "Victor Safty Gripper" or something like that. I also open up the "ring" on the end and attach a brass dog leash snap, then close the ring. Then I just clip it to a belt loop or the suspenders on my waders.
