I ran out of the good LONG ones with the BIG heads sold by the trapping supply outfits.

I went to order two boxes of 100 from Cumberland's but shipping was more than the pins cost. I ended up ordering from Amazon but they have the shorter pins and smaller heads. Lesson learned...again...

Which trapping supply outfit has them at the best price including shipping?

How far are from Elpers fur co.?

F&T has the good ones.

Make a bigger order to offset shipping costs?

Like many things, when I find something I like I tend to buy them in bulk. Like you, I like the long ones with the big head. I found some at a convention years ago and bought 10 boxes. I will never have to worry about running out again.

I've used the cheap plastic head ones on coons, they're a pain to work with but cheap...I can't justify paying shipping on a small low cost order.
Tried an electric staple gun but then you have to search for the staples.

gcs, be careful with those plastic headed pins. I used them many years ago when I started trapping. Eventually you will have the head of one break while you're pushing it in and it's gonna hurt!

YEP, lol, it does!

Also don't drop one on the floor.Very painful,as well

I like the ones no BS lures sells. Not sure about shipping.

I'm about 50 minutes from John's place. Used to go there quite a bit to sell furs and buy supplies.

The new owners, Matt and Danielle Brophy, are about twenty minutes further north. I haven't been to their place.

Not a bad idea but it would probably cost me more in gas doing the 2 hour 20 minute round trip than shipping would be from somewhere else.

Thanks for all the ideas and help everyone.

I run cheap dollar store pins. And have a separate container with 100 or so longer trapping supply pins that in general I don't used. Until I need to

Get the weight and dimensions of the box and send them a label from Pirate ship. Will save you a bundle.

I have always got mine from MTP. But do agree make your order big enough to off set shipping costs.

Like the Moore brand aluminum head, 5/8 size.

Scheels

Good to know

if you have amazon prime, they have them there and its free shipping with prime.

No such thing as a good aluminum pin anymore.

Unless you still have some from the 80s!

The aluminum pins I have bend easy and I'm running out. I just searched on Amazon and they have heavy duty plastic ones with a large head I'm going to try. Can't be any worse than the aluminum ones I have.
