lumberjack391 trapper L Joined: Apr 2017 PA	Originally Posted by Trapper7 #1 long spring set up on a drowning rig. IMO, a CS has too much power for the fine-boned legs of rats. True, rats have small bones. My coils seem to catch them higher up in the meaty section. My coils are 30+ years old so that may help. Never did like a #1 in any style.....too small for my liking.

MnMan trapper Joined: Mar 2007 Central MN, sort of old	For me it has been the 1 1/2 coil with a pinch pan or a Wild River pan set to fire with little pressure. That trap has caught numerous beaver, otter, mink, raccoon, skunk, fisher, and fox for me as well. I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!
