Richard Hood 0 Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 I have a BMI 65 trap. I now know how to get the spring to the correct location The spring went "round the corner", that aside, the bait holder is now wedged on one of the corners. Has anyone else had such a problem and how did they overcome this slight inconvenience to setting the trap correctly. Quote Link to post

micky 3,325 Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 I have had it a few times and i believe it is a design fault its is easy enough to return to its proper shape with a trap setter but i cannot explain how . I have used several types of Bodygrips but that is the only one that has this problem and now only use the 116 which much better and free from this problem . Quote Link to post
Wolfdog91 7,239 Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Happens to all my conis from 110 to 330's all the time. Just take my trapping hammer and give it a little tap it knock it off the bend. Easy peasy Quote Link to post
The one 8,486 Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 It went there so it will go back if you dont want to tap it with a hammer use a bit of wood and tap that with the hammerit will go back Quote Link to post

Or as in the picture ,half a Kinder Egg pod filled with peanut butter But ,yes; best bait up before setting the trap . Stumpy isn't a cool nickname....

Elchapo 3,167 Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 The trap trigger will move about on the bmi but go back with a little wiggle, don't no how you manage get the spring round one corner as when you set the spring you should squeeze the spring so both loops meet in middle when jaws are open , I use corn cob as bait for the squirrel with a bmi and there deadly , they will also catch without bait on runs but I tend to bait mine up with bit of corn 5 Quote Link to post
