I was thinking same thing. But I'd bet we can't get that needed bracket. The pans maybe.

And...TS85 is $31.50/ea (Kaatz Bros)

B5 dogless is $29.50/ea (MTP)

A little research will cause you to get another wrinkle in your brain....

There is a trade-off for that "easy to set".

Swamp Wolf...wrinkle this. The big boys buy them by the dozen. My research shows $26.17ea for TS 85s if purchased by the dozen. If you're pulling up empty traps on the end of a drowning rod, that's called operator error, don't blame your equipment.

I would use TS-85s but Illinois has a 7.5 inch restriction on water footholds.

Kinley31,
We all have our like and dislikes. If you don't like Bridger traps or others made outside the USA then that is your choice to make.

I use Bridgers, MBs (with foreign made parts), NoBS, Belisles,........and I drive a Toyota.

Which one does Trapper Les use for beaver?


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
