Never in a 110 because I don't use 110's.I have caught quite a few in mink boxes set with ordinary 120's(not magnums).A 120 will kill an otter stone dead without much if any disturbance.The strike you want on an otter to put its lights out quick is a single strike right behind the ears. The best trap for targeting strictly otter is the 220. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I just was asking on the possibility because ill be setting for mink with 110s. ( its all I got this year. Other than some 330s ill be ordering.) using blind sets and pockets. You may think before you act. The question is did you listen to your own council?

Buy a soldiers meal EVERY chance you can.

I have had otters (I am assuming huge ones) bend 330 jaws to make enough room to get out, but 330 jaws are wide enough for it to gain some leverage to do that.
