I thought some here may be interested to see this old post of mine from years back, kind of old school but a good use for otherwise overlooked small jump traps....

Pretty self explanatory but all I do is cut a notch in a dry pole for the spring on a #1 to a #2 sized jump trap, wire the trap off low on the pole and drive a nail or screw for placing bait. They work anywhere but if you set them in current put the trap on the downstream side of the pole.







My boy caught several out of a pond with these, pretty simple. Not a set for a long liner probably but for fun...

Check your laws for the legality of this set.

Hey that's cool! I like the looks of that set!
