The hook which holds the trigger pin in place whilst the trap is in the set position just needs a fettle. I'm sure you will work it out. But no doubt butler will shine some good old common sense and clarity on your question. Don't be offended by his special reply as he assumes your as thick as feck. Where you ordering from?

OldTrapCollector 377 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Once again on this forum is another case of idiots ruling THL ... It is obvious that these very effective Duffus-type traps take some fettling, as do most traps in their raw state from the manufacturers - it makes them more effective, easier to use and more humane which should be the ambition of all trappers ... surely?? Why, when someone expresses an opinion is it rubbished instantly - it is only an opinion afterall. And why, when folk have a lifetime's experience in such matters are they told categorically that they are wrong. Surely they will have worked out what is best for them, and whilst new ideas might assist, I doubt that a blatent disregard will help anyone ... There are some VERY experienced trappers on this forum, most of whom can't be bothered to add a reply to a post any more because there will always be some idiot who has set one trap once and caught something to tell them that they are wrong OTC 3 Quote Link to post
