Has anyone had experience using the Hagz brackets? Are they effective?

They work just fine In certain situations. But In my opinion they are a seasonal tool. What I mean by that Is they seem to work a lot better In a true spring season. In my area rats just don't seem to work that kind of a set In the fall or in open water In the winter. So It's really not the bracket It's self It's the set. And of coarse you have to use those 3/8ths fiberglass fence poles.
I haven't used any of the BG brackets so I can't comment on their use.

I have one on each of my muskrat traps. With footholds, I mostly use them like Sniper stated. I use a lot of bottom edges with the conibears. All of them with the 3/8" rod. What do you mean you have one on each of your muskrats traps? Did you weld them to your traps?
