Just getting a thumb out of Belisle should get a guy in the club I’d say.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

That is one club I WILL NOT become a member of. Got some 280’s and don’t plan to use them enough to join that club either. I’ll stick with the land critters! Let us know when that doesn't go your way. Accidents happen.

When you achieve full membership.....you'll know it. I think if it is just a finger you might get in, but when you get both hands in on top of each other then you should get special admission.

It's all the He-MAN trappers that think this tool is for Sissy's... Don't use one ....and you'll be in the Club Quickah..

WB, The Belisle 280 club is just a prestigious as the Belisle 330 club. I have both awards. I shudder when I recall those club awards. I just acquired MB750 club membership a few days ago. Here is my trophy...

Just getting a thumb out of Belisle should get a guy in the club I’d say. It was a 280, not a 330. Pinched my right above the knuckle. Of course my setters were in the truck, safety was in my pocket. Cable and stake were under 2 feet of snow and frozen in. Ended up sliding the thumb over to the compressed spring side and pulling it out. I immediately stuck my bare hand in the ice covered creek until i couldn't feel it. Sure smarted for a few days.

Yes.......Yes..it was...exactly where you asked.....between spring lever and outside of jaw. Only a man that has been down that road would ask such a question.....lol Very good attention to detail!!!!

Back when I would set them by hand one slipped off my knee because I had mud on my waders. That sucked!!! Had a couple close thumb snaps like yours too. Only safe place I’ve found to hold one is underneath by the chain but sooner or later ya gotta go topside

If ya run a light pan tension on a beaver foothold or an unseated 280/330 dog you'll get a free membership sooner or later.
