DOES A MASTER BUTCHER HAVE ONLY ONE KNIFE?

I don't understand this bit about Elastoplast. Didn't have a problem setting them. But I used them in different jobs for a couple of months and ended up throwing them on the 'useless traps pile'. Too

I really, really want to like the Traplines; I think the design’s innovative, they’re so quick and easy to set, they last forever and they’re so small you can keep enough in your pockets to do a domes

 

Take some elastoplast with you :laugh:

Ha ha , i know EXACTLY , what you mean,..

 

 

Dear old 'Fidgety' off here sent me a couple to play with :yes: a very kind gesture, I must say, but I wondered why he put a sticking plaster in the parcel with the traps right up to the point where I first set one :laugh:

 

Not for me I'm afraid :no: It's 'Dodgy Duffus' or Talpex down here right now... until we get the new 'wonder trap' :thumbs:

Plus I'm looking forward to taking it to the club tomorrow when I get done, few daft sods bust their fingers with the talpex today.

lets see what tomorrows exercise brings as they work out how to set one .

I like them myself, most of the time when they go in the ground they do there job, they just work out a bit expensive when you need 2 to do the job of one barrel or talpex, they have pulled me out of a mire once or twice.

When i first got some sent from the states i used to give them to lads to see if they could set them, they thought it was a mental agility test, most failed.

Too many foul captures and blocked tunnels. The Putange is far superior in every way for the job a Trapline does.

I really, really want to like the Traplines; I think the design’s innovative, they’re so quick and easy to set, they last forever and they’re so small you can keep enough in your pockets to do a domestic job without carrying round a bag/bucket.

The massive draw-backs are the large amount of foul catches and the moles that actually escape from the traps, leaving nothing but a tuft of hair between the jaws (and you have a job catching those ones again).

 

More recently I’ve almost always used Putange instead of Traplines (except in one specific type of tunnel; that I’m not prepared to give away on an open forum – sorry).

 

 

I know the inventor of Traplines reads this forum: so I’d like to ask that when they are updated he might consider:

 

A stronger spring.

 

A much ‘taller’ trigger

 

Longer jaws with an extra bend in them; so they curve further up and round the inside of the mole’s tunnel.

 

 

If Traplines killed as cleanly as Putange, I personally, would use them far more than any other trap.
