Been playing around with the idea of putting mink pans on my #11 and # 2 longs..
I saw the barker mink pans but didnt know if the barker #1 mink pans for #1 and #1.5 size traps would work.
I had originally thought about using soup can lids and using rivets to hold them on the pan… I did a few , but I felt those lids were way too soft and flimsy.

Are they even worth it??

Mink trapping used to be my favorite trapping, but since WI took ROW trapping away and poor prices I may never trap them again. I personally never put Mikes Wild River pans on but only because I am a procrastinator, they will increase the catch.

I have used the Barker mink pans for many years, they work very well.

They made my #2 coils sell faster and for much better money.
Worth it? Less tension, bigger target.
Trending? Definitely.

The Wild River pans are well worth installing.

And all your rat traps should have the larger pans on them.

What Computer Hater said.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

The Barker pan 1 will work on your 11s. It should work on the 2s as well but the 2 size may also fit. I would have to check.
