Molekatcher 0 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Received a batch today, great quality traps but as usual needed a little bit of tweaking before going in. I find the snare wire hole down pin angle (at the 90 degree bend), a bit too much and twist the ends back to the side so the're just off being flat to the trap body, also trigger hooks need a tweak with pliers and a touch with a fine file. Bit of time and care now getting them spot on will save a lot of fiddling about later so time well spent I think. Quote Link to post

Molekatcher 0 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Is true, I am a bit of a fiddler though . Quote Link to post
Ratmanwan 66 Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Nothing wrong with tweaking your traps, I do mine and I thought most people do, better catches and more humane. Quote Link to post
trappa 518 Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 i tweak mine, most people do. I think it was more the fact that it was virtually molekatchers first post in here and he maybe doesnt realise there a few good moletrappers on here already possibly and they maybe dont need telling what to do with their traps? Anyway, welcome molekatcher. Hope you are a regular. trappa Quote Link to post

Rowan 308 Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Sure we all do that , to one extent or another , after the tweeks i leave mine set over night to see if i have fiddled too much with them , we just don't bother to post such things . Like that we can keep mole catching as a dark art that is impossible to learn ,,,, 1 Quote Link to post

Molekatcher 0 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Forgot to mention the last and most important stage of trap prep, (keep it to yourself mind), a light coating of talpa blanco au de femme juice. Just a little though as they have been known to hump traps clean out of the ground if over applied Quote Link to post
Rowan 308 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 One more thing , this is very important , when you set a duffus always kneel by the right side of it , never the left . Hope that helps, happy hunting. 1 Quote Link to post
