ShagMan OP trapper S Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 44 San Luis Valley, Colorado	Does anyone have a source for wire stock that is used to make body grip triggers? I am building wire trigger cage traps. Have had good success 3 cats, 0 misfires, 0 refusals. I know there are previous posts on wire triggers for cage traps, I would be happy to share my design with whom ever would like. Thanks

Longest and one source I have found is Unicycle.com they sell 54" 12 gage spokes for penny farthing bikes(those old-fashioned very large front wheel bikes) at 2.00 per spoke. Very interested in seeing your design because the treadle pan type cages really clog up a lot in our MN snows(even covered). I've learned enough thru the years to now know that I don't know enough. KNOWLEDGE IS FREEDOM.
