Jonathan "Wilson" Joined: Dec 2006 Northwestern New York(Elder)	Is there a quality #220 setter on the market better than others, or are they pretty much the same? I have used the rope for years, but at my age now, it sounds like the setters are the answer.

Anonymous Unregistered A	redneck I'm not sure which setters you are speaking of. The ones I posted work excellent for me, even on 330 Belisle's. Here's the info. for the push down type if anyone is interested. They are great setters as well if you have solid ground to push on. They aren't for beaver trappers. lol MJ Setters 102 16th street Cloquet MN 55720 218-879-2711 ~ADC~

baker trapper B Joined: Dec 2006 south central,Nebraska-20yrs	i bought a setter, the kind with 2 bars and a bolt thru the middle and groves on the one end, but i wish there was one that once you get it to a certain point, it locks so you can set the safeties without having to hold the setter someother way while u latch the safeties. anybody make anything like this? i usually use it for 330's tho, the 220s do alright with my hands. ~Evan~
