I attended a demo the other day where the trapper was very adamant about how he felt the Snuggy was one of the best brackets out there. He ran them onto small boards and placed them on trails where coons were moving He especially like them in late season.

So.... what do other people think?

PS. Photos would be great.

Check out Ron Hausers rebar method, the video is older

don't know what a Snuggy is, but I weld a MB bracket on 1/2" angle iron 6" long and sharpen the end that goes into the ground

I have given and received "snuggies" an a younger man. The worst is the "Nuclear Snuggie" which ends up with the elastic waistband across the forehead.
I'd say that those were considered secure.

We called those "WEDGIES" Carl.

This thread is worthless without pictures.

Any system that holds your bodygrippers down on the ground in a trail set is NOT good IMO.

I do the same thing.... take a MB coni-bracket and I weld it to a 3/8ths inch rod with a washer welded to the rod to keep it from spinning. Place the 220 in the bracket which I drive in and usually leave a couple inches off the ground. Put these on the coon trails in grass. A very sure set for a few coons. Some other critters too.

I thought a "Snuggy" was a blanket with sleeves.

The mb bracket has work good for me and can be used a few different ways.The H stands have worked good for me as well. The stakelizets look like they would work good to but I have not tried them.I don't think Ive heard of or seen a snuggle ?

I agree the SNUGGY is an exceptional bracket for holding conibears, especially when coupled with an adjustable mechanism to allow for vertical adjustment. Dustin Drews made up a neat adjustable bracket that used the snuggy and a vertical adjustment. I bought 2-3 dozen from him years ago and after trying to buy more from him the last 2-3 years I've just given up on him.
Yupper Bound has a great bracket he just introduced recently. I visited with Casey at the NTA and his bracket has several advantages over some other brackets out there. His bracket doesn't use the SNUGGY, but still has several key and improved features over other brackets.

Same! haha

The Snuggy coni brackets seem kind of expensive for no more than they appear to be. (a small formed piece of spring steel???) I guess it must cost a lot to make them. Also I don't see one to fit 220's only two sizes one for 110-160 and one for 330's on F&T. No 220-280 sizes listed.

Dakota Lines offers the Cold Creek Snuggy in 2 sizes:
110-160
160-330
What I don't know is which size they'd recommend if you were running the 159-160 as both sizes cover this size trap. Looking at the picture, the 160-330 size is significantly larger.

I still think Dustin Drews has a great product, it was infinitely adjustable and allowed you to attach the trap in multiple places on the trap: top/bottom/side...…...along with vertical adjustment and it would fit on a large variety of stake sizes.

Hausers system holds the conibear at what ever height you want1-4 inches

For adjustable height, i use an electric fence wire bracket on a 3/8 diameter fiberglass Rod from tractor supply.
