Is there such a thing? Mine have two to two and a half feet of chain and a chain stake. Do any of you have a system that keeps them from becoming a tangled mess?

Even with care they start out in a mess, and it doesnt get better with each pull and reset.

For setting day I have stacked set baited dps in heavy boxes that contained bottled beer. If you really want a mess on a rainy pulling day, connect a bunch of cable to them. I have a board with holes for pressure washing. Like the plastic pallet idea.

Get one of those archery targets. Set It In the back of your truck set the trap and jam It Into the target. Works like a charm.

We took heavy cardboard tubes that tarps come rolled on and cut them to about 10" in length. Then we stood the tubes on end and glued them all together and built a wooden box to surround them. All our DPs have 16" of cable with a pogo on the end. We drop the pogo down the cardboard tube and drop the set trap in with a wooden dowel inside the trap on top. That keeps everything untangled and ready to go.
Why fix it when you can struggle?

You can cut notches into a plastic barrel or similar. Cut barrel into halves. Cut evenly spaced notches around the rim. Hang your trap by the halfway point of your chain. It actually works well. Let me see if I can find a picture
