If you are pulling and moving the trap after making a catch, is it best to dip the trap again or do you just clean them and scrub them off? I'm going to give it a try this year. I'm actually using Zep's floor polish which I read is basically the same thing as FMJ.

And probably a lot cheaper.

I would just keep using them the way they are till your done for the year. Rub some grass over them and knock off the big chunks and re set.

I just keep using the trap until i am done at that set, then power wash and reset somewhere else. It has worked for me for several years with FMJ.............

I keep using after a catch. I wire brush the trap after a catch and might rub dry dirt over it if available. Gets the job done

I do a quick clean then put it away for the season. Have more traps that I have set so I always use a fresh one. Over the summer I'll power wash then dip them again then leave them to dry until I set in Nov.

you either have a ton of traps or don't run many traps.


Anyone that owns a gun and votes democrat deserves to have there gun taken, cause they truly are too stupid to own a gun.
