The Death Klutch DK-1 trap is designed for gophers, not for moles, and I used them for over 10 years. Occasionally, we would get moles come down a gopher tunnel into a a DK-1 trap we had set for gophers, and they were medium effective in catching the moles. The jaw spread is much too big to fit into a mole tunnel, so we never intentionally set them for moles, as that would require enlarging the tunnel a lot.

I was refering to the trapline KC70 Steve.

Hope you are right there fellah

Been using Steve Albano's (Trapline) traps for a while now, and they are ideal for certain situations..

I've also got some 'No-Mole' (French style) traps coming in, for a tryout,..they seem to be a tad on the awkward side, compared to my Talpa's,..but, I will certainly give them a fair crack of the whip,..WHEN this fecking shite weather, finally breaks

yes they are a bit fiddely to set when you hands are numb and wet but i have been catching with them the only down side is that you have to set two of them compared to one half barrel but they do have thire uses make sure that you peg them down handy little trap though KC70 and i also will be glad to see the back of this weather work starting to back up now.

i have to say , when i first saw these little traps and spoke to steve about them, i thought they wouldn,t be any good for setting numbers of traps , but since trying them, i reckon with practice you could set them fairly quickly , i read somewhere , could have bin on here, that they work well in frosty weather as they are not affected due to being up the tunnel rather than in the tunnel and covered , if i were starting up again i would have a good number of these traps as back up for frosty weather as working is better than twiddling thumbs

Moley, yes they are a good choice in muddy or frosty conditions. They work less well in sandy soil, or very light crumbly soil.

think im a bit mixed up here lads.i was talking about the death klutch gopher trap thats for sale in this country now.so are you saying they suitable for moles in the uk then ?

[Steve Albano 21]

Logun, Mark had them confused with our Trapline mole traps. I don't think he's used the Death Klutch gopher traps for moles in the UK.

 

I don't think the Death Klutch traps are suitable for moles in the UK or anywhere else. They're too big. But I have caught many moles in them, as I said above.
