Body grips for marten - 10/08/19 03:04 PM
Looking to get some new body grip traps for marten. Last time I went out for them I used the CTM 126 (5x5 double spring) with pans but I only had 1 dz, so I'm looking to expand my inventory for a larger trapline. I'm looking to pick up 2-3 dz of something. Just wondering what everyone else prefers or would recommend a guy gets if buying new traps. Thanks.
Also, this will be in an area with no fisher.

I use Belisle 120's with wood pans.

Belisle Super X 120, very versatile trap suitable for muskrat, mink, marten and fisher. Also have excellent spring safety hooks.

I also took his bait positioning to achieve repeatable strikes on target. He had it nailed!
