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??

I say yes if they are the Wild River pans,

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.

I bought a number of #2 montgomery pans from wissmiss awhile back put them on #1 vics and blake &lamb they have a short shank for the vics i hacksawed a slot and clamped them on for the b&l's drill out the rivet and bolt or as i did use a cutoff nail and re rivet they pretty much cover the inside jaw width I'd post a pic but when i try it says to large Used to be able not now

The Wild River pans are well worth installing.

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

What Computer Hater said.

Foxkid, You should check out minktrapping.com

I should probably check it out

Whereabouts can I find these??

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.

Wild River mink pans are what i use on most of my mink and rat traps.

A ll types of pan enlargements work to up your mink catch. Apply to traps and sharpen your skinning knives !

Thanks for the link,,, I checked it out.
Unfortunately they don’t have pans for the older victor #11 ,, but those pans for the#2 old style victor looks great.

Foxkidd, im pretty sure the barkers pan 1 will fit those older Victor 11s

Thanks.. think I’ll get a few dozen and give them a shot.
Thanks gang
