Question on 330 Stands #7461044 01/14/22 09:46 PM 01/14/22 09:46 PM

Gave em a acid bath painted em and just got about 80' of 1/4" hot roll to make some stands for them. Figured they would save me a good bit of dinking around looking for sticks and the like. Anyhow this is what I came up with after some YouTube some archive reading and asking on fb. I think I'm doing this right, gotta bend it a little so there no slop and move my bottom bar up more but was curious, you gay who use these things alot, what's something you wish they came with out if the box ? Or something you feel could be improved on ? On thing I'm seeing honestly is mabye welding a nut or lock washer to the side to give so I can wire the stand to my trap so it won't get lost after a catch. But never used 330's ( conibers in general really) and wanted to see what y'all think. Thanks ! YouTube expert "The bird of Hermes is my name , eating my wings to keep me tame"

The only think I might change is the bottom crossbar.maybe move it up so its about 2 inches below the other crossbar.Depending on the bottom you then might get away with slightly shorter legs.That'd be for beaver.

Can't get to the rivits. It's that normal for bridger 330's ? YouTube expert "The bird of Hermes is my name , eating my wings to keep me tame"

Wouldnt get too uptight about the trap being a bit loose on the stand, at least not for under water sets.

They get bent up from time to time just getting banged around anyhow. Yes, the magnums you need to set on the second notch is all with the H stands. No biggie. I paint the tips a brighter color. Makes re setting the trap alot easier without having to remove the stand from the mud. Nice work. Last edited by Calvin; 01/15/22 12:16 AM.

Especially since you asked " you gay who use these" and got response to the question. I'll only say I don't know what to think. Spell check maybe. Me. Rules: Col.
