I am installing PIT Pans on some old #3 and 4 double long springs and jump traps. A mix of Victor and Blake and Lamb traps.

I bought a couple PIT -01 medium pan kits and I put one on a 3 jump. I like the pan size. It’s similar to the original pan, but with the sides trimmed off so it’s a little smaller. I was looking at the PIT -02 which is the same except it has a bigger pan. More like the original pan on the traps. Then I saw the step down pan...

I was looking at using these traps for double duty on beaver and coyotes. I hear a smaller pan for beaver is good but kinda like a bigger pan for coyotes. Also, I like a low pan for coyote, but am no sure if a step down is good for beaver. I don’t trap much beaver but am looking forward to in the future.

I guess my question is whether step down pans are a good or bad idea for beaver traps? Also, is there a decent compromise pan size for beaver and coyote?

Thanks guys.

Never used them but I don't see a drawback to a step down pan for beaver. You want them committed and as deep in them smaller traps (or any trap) as you can get them.

Thanks!

I talked to Ed today. What a great guy. He told me that the step down pans are a no go on jump traps but on the double Longs they are perfect perfect. I’ll just get the regular trap pans for the jump traps.

Ed is good people...very knowledgeable and generous with it. Great products!

He is very interesting. Boy you aren’t kidding. He is fun to listen to. Take notes!
