i like bridger footholds cause there good quality but I like duke conibears cause there easier to set. my favorite trap is a victor 110 for muskrat and a 1.5 bridger for blindset

I also like Bridger footholds, but I have used victors for years. I don't really like victors that much because the pan is very wobbly.

Coalkid, tighten up that pan screw and bolt.

on the longsprings there arnt any

Thought he was referring to the Bridgers. On the Victors, without nut and bolt adjustment try bending the very tip of the dog up to give the pan some tension.

I don't do much water trapping, but my favorite land trap is the MB500

Ok thanks

Bridger 1.65 hands down

Speaking of traps, the trap most people use in Australia to catch dingoes are big double spring “ lanes ace” traps that are about the same size as a Newhouse wolf trap, they also have pretty powerful springs.
This is a joke heard a while ago , and it makes me laugh every time I hear it:
A man walks into the doctors office with a badly broken arm.
He says to the doctor “ can you please fix this for me doc, but don’t bother about the anaesthetic, because I don’t feel any pain”
The doctor is puzzled by this, but still sets the man’s broken arm and sure enough, the man never even flinches.
After he has finished the doctor says “ have you ever felt pain?” And the guy says “ yeah doc , twice. The first time was when I was dingo trapping years ago. I was crouching down over the trap setting it , when the (not acceptable on trapperman) thing goes off and catches me fair on the balls!”
“ I see “says the doctor “ that must have been very painful, but what was the second time?”
“ that was when the slack on the chain took up!”

bridger 330 conibear

or a 220. But i'm definetly a conibear guy

What do use 330s for? Besides beaver or otter.

coons and yote sometimes badger

Do you have wolverine in Washington?

You catch yotes with 330s!? That's cool! I thought yotes wouldn't go near a bodygrip

duke 550

it takes the right de-scenting but if you use a big cubby set it works great. Also heard it works for wolves

Wow, that's pretty cool!

Some of the trappers that I deal with said they couldn’t get a wolf near a 330, I guess you guys figured it out though!
