What kind of tools do you guys carry on the trapline and what do you carry them in. I will be in a truck most of the time unless attending to sets. I personally keep a hammer, sifter, anchor driver, linesman pliers, setters, and a pair of fencing pliers. For materials, I keep wire, pan covers, lure, bait, a couple of extra anchors, traps, etc. These are all stored in a bucket or small tool bag. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

This doesn’t all fit in my bag but you get the idea.

I keep some spare quick links in the kit. And, a piece of cable - slip loop in one end, and fixed loop in the other, for use in pulling up stakes.

I use a husky tool bag on the line, we currently have a tool bag as a president. My husky bag is smarter

Much MUCH smarter .

I’ve been using this one for small tools and bait / lures / urine ......... This is what I use for traps, kinda makes it obvious that I trap out of my truck and don’t really need a bag for tools.

in NJ we snare so my bag is much different than others.

I have a 5 gallon bucket with

• rebar stakes
• snares packed 3 per zip lock bag
• extension cables packed 3 per zip lock bag
• quick links for attaching snares to extension cables
• a coil of support wire
• scratch awe
• cable cutters
• pliers
• some other misc. hand tools.

But that bucket stays in the truck. I put a couple of zip lock bags of snares, a couple of bags of extension cables, my cable cutters, quick links, and a short cut-off coil of support wire in my coat pockets and walk without carrying anything. I rarely ever use stakes and can almost always cable to a tree or shrub. The only exception is if I'm snaring in vehicle tracks and if I am, they're usually my tracks so I can work right off the tailgate of my truck.

I'm a lazy trapper.

I often have to walk a ways to make my sets, far enough of the toad so my sets are hidden from the public, so I keep my bag as light as possible.

Sifter
Fencing pliers
Hammer
Stake driver
Small file
10-12’ of tripled and twisted mechanics wire
18” D-handle spade shovel

Buckets and rubber made tubs. I work mostly off atv with trailer or a pickup. I do use a big plastic pack basket for when I have to walk.

kinda hairy,

Scrub thoroughly with OO steel wool, rinse with bleach and then apply a generous amount of Nair and your problem will be solved.

6 gal bucket to make sets, another for just more traps and peet moss. I have a tool bag also, like bctomcat, for lures, bait and urine.

I'd lose those buckets all the time.

I use a Husky tool bag for tools, sifter, pan covers, etc. Stinky stuff goes in a separate little tote bag clipped to the tool bag. I pull an otter sled a lot when out, so everything goes in it.

Problem? Who said it was a problem?

These are all very good replies and suggestions. The thing about having a tool bag of a president is pretty true. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll look into it.
