I tell people act like you want to break it in half to start.

lol … tell em !

That works with most DLS traps. The jaw posts on the Newhouse are the challenge!

Very nice sir! Is that trap dyed and waxed or paint dipped?

Ya ol' fart! Shame on you for humiliating the youngsters on this site. You do realize some of them will likely hurt themselves trying to emulate you.

Them dang newhouses are a bear. I can set just about any other LS but a #4 or a 4.5 are pretty tuff for old hands.

Wear that trap out like it owes you money, Newhouse!

You’ve done that a time or two , sir. Nice video thanks for sharing. I’ve gotten pretty quick “rolling” a 1.5 CS on my knee with my hands to set it from fox trapping. There’s an art to setting traps, and takes experience

I remember as a kid going out to my fathers shed and setting traps to put a stick in them. Time and time again. Of course got pinched my share

Dyed and waxed!

I’ve never been able to do long springs, but mb750 and any 330 is pretty easy, my problem is my thumbs don’t work very well and it’s that final push on the spring I can’t do.

Not me, no. I use my feet also.

I just turnt 67 myself. Maybe I can do that now.
