lets see-I got about 4 dozen 330's,and 3 dozen footholds.Footholds don't get used much but when I need one for a specific problem beaver I use a 5 bridger longspring,although I have a lot of old #4 victors that have taken quite a few beaver. Whatever trap you use make sure the springs are good and strong.That applies to bodygrips and footholds.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

NO-BS Beaver Extreme for me. I have run a several of them and am in the process phasing out my 750s and replacing them with beaver extermes.

#4 Victor longsprings are my favourite. Bought 4 bridger #5 coilsprings and man I hate them. Set the pan tension, and every time I’ve set them they’ve been at the bottom of the cable empty. Every dam time. Can’t figure it out

If your experience is like mine you'll love the snares and wish you would have used them sooner. As far as foot traps I don't run them much so I haven't the experience with a bunch of different types but the one's mentioned above are good traps.

I've used MB750s, Duke #4 OSCS and Victor #4 DLS. They all catch beaver but the MB750s are my favorites. Those TS-85s seem like a really nice trap as well.

I really dig the 330s, but I'm considering footholds as well... Not entirely sure though. Nothing's moving down here Did I not give ya a foothold to use? Guess when ya visit again we will figure it out!
