The foothold trap the Aussies have is smaller ,lighter,and easier to set than a gin,so therefore better.imo,what made the gin so good was the amount of rabbit available to catch.If the rabbit numbers today were on a parr with the early 50s and there was a market for there meat,fur and by products , i suspect we would be looking at another type of trap ,something on the imbra lines ,but stronger, lighter , more compact, and above all cheaper,so i will go with the imbra too,for me its the ideal trap for the soil starved areas i play in
