This winter I bought some 330`s and 440`s RBG and I tried this method of wrapping the 14 ga. wire around the spring arm. When I was done for the season, I wasted more time taking the wire off of those springs. There were a few that worked great, but most just sucked. Like they would lock going one way on the spring but spin going the other way, problem was the way I needed to go to get that clip off the other spring arm was the way it would lock in place. I wound up bending up some of those RK safeties, had to straighten those back out. I tried the vinyl tubing method inside the RK safeties and well it was just..........Whatever. It was better better than stock , but not by much. The Belisle safeties are the standard of the industry in my opinion. I have bought Belisle`s at times simply because of the safeties. In the middle of winter, far from help and those traps covered with ice, any brand, cheap safeties just aren`t worth it. Unfortunately Belisle`s are just about priced right out of the market. A bunch of years ago, I started making some of my own Belisle`s style safeties with 11 ga. wire, bending them all by hand and a pliars to replace some of the regular safeties that were getting trashed. They actually worked really well, just a hassle to make and then I sold all my non Belisle traps. I think these RBG` deserve some more testing and have seriously considered getting out the wire and the pliars again. It`s actually kind of incredible in this day and age that there aren`t better safeties out there.
