Who here has converted some double long springs to a dogless firing design? Be curious to see some pictures of those that have. Thinking about some #3s modded up for cats.

I did these last fall. Relatively easy the way I did it. Got a roll pin the right size for the pan bolt, cut it to length to fit in the bridger dogless pan, then figured out where it needed to go for the pan to be level, and welded UNDER the trap frame. Then just cutoff the extra where the trap dog used to be mounted. This was a victor #4dbl and a victor #3 jump

Nice set up Jesse!

Thank you, set those up to try in cat sets here in pa

Dogless double longs are the the easiest trap to set, bed, and modify imo.

I totally agree!

This is top shelf trap porn...!

How are you guys modifying the frame to attach the pans? Using some type of bracket to bolt the pans to? Can you share some pics. Those look great.

Yes I agree would love to see some pics of the pan attachment. We have some #2 I would love to get rid of the floppy pans and use them for cat traps

Here's how I did my longspring, couldn't find the jump in the pile to get pictures of how I did it. This was a little bracket I threw together quick with 2 old trap dogs cut to length, and 2 nuts that were drilled out just big enough to allow the pan bolt to slide through. Now, instead of making a "bracket", I just buy large rolle pins at surplus city that the hole is just the right size for the pan bolt to slide through and cut them to length. Not the best welds as I'm not a welder, but it holds

I make my some of my brackets out of 1/4” tubing. Cut it to fit between pan legs, I drill out the pan leg holes to fit a 1/4 20 bolt, ill then bolt the pan to the tubing and I can then slide it onto frame and set the trap allowing me to adjust pan height to desired position then tac the tubing to the frame. I’ll then fire the trap off and weld the tubing in solid. And on some traps like bridger number 4 double longs I can use just the stock pan post brackets that come on no bs jrs or extremes. You can buy them off no bs just gotta call and ask for them. They are the only place I found that will sale you the brackets and pans.

Once you build one dogless you start making everything dogless haha

Here is how you can do a number 4 bridger with out welding.

Thank you, hammer. I found your channel the other day and subscribed. Would like to talk to you about a few other things on trap mods. Will send a PM tonight

Some works in progress. I got everything figured out so once I’m done with finished product I’ll share some more photos.

Do you sale any??

I knew Hammer would chime in. You’re the best! Bridger #2 dogless pans are on order…lol.

No I just modify traps for fun or for others mainly wanting something off the wall done to there traps or large volume of traps needing done.

No way I could scroll past a thread titled dogless long springs and not check it out haha!

I love the ones The hammer set me up with -




They are works of art and functional too.

Ever since I first started this website I watched your videos.

Where are you buying the pans from? I would like to buy one to play with a number 2 DBL

You have a great YT channel, hammer. Makes we want to get a welding rig and pound out some of those rod swivels you've created.

You can buy the dogless bridger pans from mtp or you can buy the no bs dogless pans from no bs lures. If you want the entire pan and bracket that comes stock on dogless coil springs instead of making your own bracket no bs will sale you that I think if I remember correctly there around 2.50 or 3.00$ for the bracket and 3$ for the pan. Gotta call and ask for them for there not listed on there site. But bridger pans are listed on mtp or if you use fnt they carry the pans as well.

Thank you appreciate the kind words.

Hammer, you got more info or a vid on your DLS spreader tool for removing the jaws?

Great thread. Following

I ordered mine from Marty at Canadian Coyote Company and unfortunately they didn’t come with the bracket. I’ll have to make em or figure something out. Might have to reach out to MTP to see if they can get some.

Call Kurt at no bs lures they will sell you the brackets from the extreme traps which will fit any bridger pan as well.

I like these dog less DLS traps.

I believe I need to build a few to try out.

Some sleepy creek 4.5 converted to dogless with big bridger #5 dogless pans.

What pan would work for Victor 3 DLS?

No bs Jr pans or num2 bridger dogless pans are what I suggest.

Cool thank you.
