Guys, what’s the best way you have found for attaching the fishing string across the trigger wires??
I keep trying to tie it on as tight as I can,, but it tends to keep slipping off.
I do like pan active body grips .. but I’d still like to know how you guys do it.

Lay the trigger wire ends on a piece of steel and take a hammer and beat them flat. Tie the line above the flattened area.

You can get small crimps for braided fishing line that should work...

This is what I do

I think over the years I’ve tried about all of the ways and have settled on this. Don’t laugh because for me the easiest and best way I’ve found. I had a bunch of hooks in the tackle box so I used Gorilla epoxy and epoxied the hooks on to the triggers leaving the hook’s eyes exposed. After the epoxy hardened I cut the hooks shanks off. Extremely easy to do with a strong, almost flush profile. I used 30# Fireline. Photo was taken before cuttingn the hook shanks.

Some fantastic ideas guys!! Thanks!!

Use some of that translucent yellow silicon tubing to trap the monofilament line on the trigger wires after forming them into a slightly bell shaped configuration…the ends can point straight down but the tag ends can form a circle about 2-2 1/2” in diameter, forming the most inviting opening for a mink to dart through. The fishing line does not have to be stretched taught as this is a belly catch much like a circular blade of grass.
