Iv checked every website on the internet for pit pans that fit #3/4 long springs and everyone is sold out and has been for quite sometime. Called around and no one knows when or if they will get anymore.. anyone have a direct contact info to buy some? Thanks

Try Cumberlands. The #1s will be tough.
The producer stopped making them.
I think I got the last ones in Canada.....lol

Fit a #3/4 long spring?

If someone can give you contact info, Ed Medvetz in Pa is the maker of these. Last ones I bought were directly from him.

Yes a #3 and a #4 long spring

That would be great thank you

Do you know if he’s done making all of them together even for other traps? The inventory seems pretty thin for the other styles as well

He makes all sizes. You about have to call him to get ahold of him. He’s very busy. I bought several dozen kits for 3N’s and a couple dozen for #4 jumps. I think I lost his number, I’ll look.

I've tried calling Ed numerous times and left messages
I even tried his cell number and no response

Old fella is like 88 years old

I pm’d you guys his number if you want to try to reach him

Thanks

What do pit pans do exactly

Basically due to the position of the pivot point it creates increased pan tension and a lot of upward pressure from the dog..

They make your traps very consistent on pan tension with a crisp release

Does Ed have a patent on them? Gosh you would think someone would crank em out. Good demand for them!

Looks like he does or atleast did..

So they are more for beaver trapping or canines ?

Both, when you bend the rod dog at a slight angle they will hold 2 pounds or whatever you choose forever.. no nut and bolt constantly screwing with… I run bridger #3s mostly and have all pit pans.

I know Sterling was making a version a couple of years ago. Give Keith a call as he may be able to help you out.
