Nicepix 5,650 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Nice one Phil I discovered a new tip the other day; the setting lever can also be used for tunnel clearance. I'd got a three way run and I couldn't find my spoon, but I'd got the lever in my other hand and then I had a Eureka moment. It is just the right size and shape to clear out a couple of inches to fit the trap in. 2 Quote Link to post

bryn27 89 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Wouldn't mind a go with one of these but the seller is scared to supply me. Ill keep filling the wires with the Talpex as it's like a turkey shoot at present. Feel free to message me Nicepix and I'd certainly give your traps a run out and leave an honest review regards how good they are compared to the others on the market. Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I just use a closed putang to clear out the tunnel the same way I do when I use the no mole the prongs work spot on for this job ... Put 12 in the ground on Monday and so far I'm catching well with them ... I do find them easy to use but I have been using the no mole for ages and these are the BIG brother ......... 1 Quote Link to post
moxy 617 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Not in the case of the prior moleman. One down in his armoury!! Strange find whilst locating a run. Must have been there a while. Quote Link to post
Nicepix 5,650 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Any pics of how far back and how sensitive to set triggers?. I plan on setting them and leaving them in garden like I read somewhere else, I setting them easily enough but wanna check with guys already catching with em lol When they are new and shiny I put them like this: Then as they age I don't have as much showing at the bottom. The trigger is about 25mm - 30mm from the prongs. 1 Quote Link to post

Must have been there a while. image.jpeg was that thing actually still set! Looks like the trigger has gone so far forward that it would have jammed in the prongs and prevented it from closing. That's why I put the twine so short then the trigger cannot go forward. Probe about some more Moxy. There is likely to be another one around there. One thing I've noticed when I put a Putange in a three-way tunnel along with a Duffus it is invariably the Putange that kills the mole. You would think that it would be 1/3 of the time, but it is well over 2/3, in fact almost all the time the Putange scores. I've had double captures in a three-way tunnel with all Putanges, but I'm still waiting for 3 out of 3. Quote Link to post
rasp 34 Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Good results using the Putanges today, already these traps have paid for themselves. Thanks Clive for the extra bits they arrived today mate 1 Quote Link to post
