I have NEVER had a pan not trip using polyfil or a screen. I have had the jaws cement into place, even then the pan would depress. I’ve caught with polyfil under the pan and screen after 5” of rain.
I don’t like offset traps due to a small stick or pebble getting between the jaws and creating a wider gap than what’s already there. Couldn’t imagine intentionally setting something to create an even wider gap.

This can’t be real can it?

For those that doubt, Louisiana led the world in trapping for so long, even 30 years of relative non trapping hasnt been enough for you guys to catch up. We caught in 1 year, what it would take the other top state 4 years in muskrat. We wiped out muskrat, beaver, alligator, wolf, cougar, jaguar, bear. If the old timers down here tell you a method, its tried and true. They made due and figured out how to use what was available in nature at the time. They had to go everywhere by pirogue, and trapped marsh, swamp, forest, muddy bottom, sandy bottom, the list goes on and on.

Aix's post breaks it down perhaps better for some, I dont use it all the time but it will be in my toolbox for a later date.

Man after all the talk about legends from this guy and how people should just follow him to save trapping on his other posts . Im thinkin this guy actually drank the bong water or is a anti
