Whipped up a few little BG mounts while in the shop today. Bought some of those little metal clips at a convention, and had some cutoff plates from jobsites. Couple holes and rivets, and voila. They hold a 120 really well, which KB's don't do. Look forward to using them for BE sets and crossover trails.

Those are what I started using also as they are more adaptable to the 110 and 150 size traps I use of different brands. Don't have to change what notch your using on the dog, depending on how sensitive you want the trigger.

Those should come in handy on the water line.
Should make some bigger ones for 330s

I use KB stabilizers for 160s and bigger. I rarely set a 330, no beaver around here, and for otter I grab the 280s or 220s.

Perfect!
The imagination is the only thing holding a guy back sometimes. A guy can whip up all kinds of contraptions with cheap clips and a bit of junk laying around.

I made up a few using railroad plates a few years back… I lost them when we unexpectedly got several inches of rain and flooded the creek.. they got buried by mud.
I don’t own a metal detector

I've learned to wire/cable the support to the bank, same as the trap.

"Those should come in handy on the water line.

Nice work, jk.

What do you use to lower the 330 set into the water?

point both springs up and loop a cable or rope through both spring coils, the trigger has to be on top.....easy-peasie.......but you have to hide the rope/cable and sometimes that is not easy as we have some people with stickey fingers.......jk

So you leave the rope/cable attached? That does make things easier.
