Wolfidogs invention will work exactly like the guy's in the demo,except it holds the trap in a 90 degree orientation to the other guys.
Unless you believe the guy in the demo is a BS'er and his doesnt work like he said it does.

Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, right?

Honestly still don't really get what was wrong with his version the why he set it.....

Now wolfdog,make one that will hook onto a dry pole solid so you can set it under the ice with bait.

Then make a hundred of each and hit the convention trail this summer.

How would you want it connected because I have three or four different designs for that. Nails or screws are what you want I can just pick two holes in a bit of flat stock and weld that where the prongs weld into. Two hole two nails or screws into a pole and done

Eggghhhhh no real intentions on marketing thing thing at all. I could do a pictorial on how to build your own but unless I get some jigs made..... Not to mention I already have some folk not too happy with this because they already have something out

I read this and just continue to shake my head....

Yea,that would work.

Wolfdog, do you any B&L #4 double underspring traps??

Wolf dog, they’re referring to the size of a beavers rear foot. It’s huge. It’s like the beaver equivalent of wearing scuba fins. When a long, wide foot lands in between the jaws of a trap with the levers at 6/12, the jaws close around it like a piece of bread folding around a piece of ham. When the levers are at 9/3, the trap is turned sideways, it’s literally possible for a beavers foot to rest completely across the jaws of many traps, thus potentially being lifted when the trap fires, or possibly not even fire at all if the feet on the jaws prevent the pan from being pushed.

Front feet, not a big deal. Rear feet, it can become a big deal. The smaller the trap, the more important it is.

Front foot catch and drowned down at the bottom (2 foot of water).

Wise words from an experienced beaver trapper right there. No need for a bedding device unless you are an ADC professional. When fur trapping, move to another location or use sticks and natural materials if you for some stubborn or rare situational reason feel the need to not just move to another spot.

Doing ADC work, you WILL be dealing with educated beavers sometimes, and you need rock solid, versatile, and 100% reliable separation of the trap from the device. I messed with a lot of wire type setups, and they can be made to function in some situations, each type is better for different situations, but all I have tested so far leave a lot to be desired for my needs. Basically, in the ADC situations where a bedding device can be very valuable, it is worth spending the extra $ (or time and a little less $ to build your own like Mad Scientist did) to get yourself a magnebed. If I find anything that works better than a Magnebed, or works as well for less $, I will switch to it and quit making magnebeds.

Also make sure you can put 20 or 30 pounds of pressure any and every place on that trap and not have it tip or flip off the stand or bounce when actually being used in the field. Don’t assume it will, try it in real life trapping situations. Then just catch about 100 beavers with it and let us know how it performs across the board.

I do think there could be a place for something like what you have here wolfie, like Boco mentioned for under ice sets. For it to be worthwhile fur trapping, it has to cheap, simple, and easy so that you net enough extra fur to actually make it worth the extra expense and hassle.

Gosh guys - I don't think Wolfie thought he was revolutionizing trapping. Just another tool that could be used in unique situations. The dude in the demo video looked like he has caught a beaver or 2 and used something like this is certain situations.

I like Wolfdogs posts would i use what he made probably not But i can recall trying to make a set or two on slimy clay banks because thats all there was, that stabelizer would at least have had a chance of being shoved into the bank

The last thing I would want Is a TS850 On a beavers front foot. Especially a laminated trap.

Hats off to you for having a little fun fabricating something up Wolfdog. Pay attention to the feedback, because no design is ever perfect (this is coming from a design engineer), but ignore the comments from people who have nothing better to do than talk your stuff down.

Keep up the good work

Double under springs ? No I do not. Honestly I really really do not like double undersprings.

Is this demo a video? If so could someone post a link? Thanks!

Okay, there is just a neat trick to stabilizing them for under ice or for what you are trying to do, using only a simple saw kerf...I'm surprised Boco does not use it...

It works best on B&L undersprings...The old victor 14s or 4s work too, but not as well as the B&Ls...
