    I was'nt to sure how to title this topic as i dont no the name of the trap in question. Any how i'll try an explain it for you's i think its the trap brought into use after the gin traps were oblished it has a sissor action and i think its used by burying it just in the rabbits borrow with only the gripping arms exposing and as the rabbit leaves the borrow steps on the pressure plate the arms nab it. any how what im looking to know well first of all the name of the trap and maybe a little history about the trap are they still made and who makes them and if not would it be possible

    we all spend or life trying to cut out the middle man trying to buy at the price the seller buy's it at and rightly so as there are those who tatally take the piss when it comes to charging, im talking longnets ,twines running line rings pegs longnet poles etc does anyone know any suppliers i mean were does those who sell them purcase them. i hope not to offend mole catcher as i will openly admet he is the cheapest net suplier around, if i ever need anything net related he will be my number 1 stop. if i had to choose one thing to cut the middle man out on it would be long net poles the deares

    tight circle

    fathom posted a topic in General Talk

    i've been a member of this forum for about a year now and one thing i've noticed is that it's a very tight circle to get into may it be lurcher work ferreting, long netting or trapping it's a very tight click, you'd think for a forum full of like minded people it would'nt be to hard to get involved, don't get me wrong there are those who will freely help to which im very gratefull. just an observation. yours in sport Fathom
