moley 115 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I've actually heard a fair few very experianced men saying they actually fire better than Fenn's.can,t say i have noticed any difference in the fireing , but i would say fenns are a bit stronger than springers and they seem to keep the strength for longer, its all about how you set them Quote Link to post

snareman 3 Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 are springers more reliable than fens then in my opinion having trapped hundreds of mink over the years using both fenn,s and springers , also bodygrips and kania,s , the springers were weaker than the fenns, and would often jump apart as the base springs seemed to bend and unhook themselves when they fired and i lost a few mink through this bad fault , they also only had 5 turns on the springs , on either side of the trap pan , as the fenn has 7 turns and was a far better trap , and never once did the fenn traps jump a part , neither the fenn or the springer kills a mink quickly , as i have watched on a few occasions good sized dog and bitch mink getting caught in the early morning ,and were perfectly caught by the neck , i had to dispatch all of them . thats why i used drowing wires as they were down and dead quickly it was far more humane , the 116 bodygrip , also the 120 conibear , and the kania trap , are far more humane traps in dispatching mink and squirrels , if the fenn trap had stronger springs to give it more killingand holding power it would be a far better trap, due to its design its bad for jumping up therefore if setting in a hole , box or tunnel , make sure that the roof of the latter locations give about a 1/2 inch clearance above the closed trap jaws , because if its to high you will get fowel catches and also nothing but belly hair , to improve any traps efficiency degrease them spray paint or dip them and then wax them , they then fire like lightning , some people let them rust to hell , and when you hear them creaking and groaning as they open them its like listening to an old castle,s doors opening , treat your traps with care , and they will last you for many years .moley sells mk.6,s cheaper than these companies , he is on the hunting life site .
