I’ve never been impressed with Pioneer traps as far as quality. I was cleaning up some traps I bought awhile back and came across some Pioneer #11’s. They seem to be much better traps than any other Pioneers that I’ve had my hands on in the past. I tried looking them up in 3 different trap books, and I find no mention of Pioneer 11’s.
Anybody have any knowledge or experience with them?

I once had about 4 dozen Pioneer 1.5 coil springs and they were great. Caught lots of nutria with them.

Korean made if I'm not mistaken.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Never owned any #11 Pioneer DLS traps but did buy a dozen brand new 1 1/2 LS Stoploss traps back at a State convention. First fall caught a dandy buck mink that paid for the dozen taps and since have caught 100's of muskrats with them. They are still going strong and I wish now I would have bought 10 dozen of that trap!

I bought and sold a big pile of Pioneers at one time. Needed a place to store them, seemed appropriate, lol.

I have a complete set of every trap Pioneer ever made including the #5 and all 3 sizes of conibears, most are shiney new. I have had no luck getting rid of them.


I have nothing clever to put here.
