A Different Bodygrip.

[J Darcy 5,871]

Canadian made, this Bg is much bigger than our 110's and obviously designed for bigger critters. Unlike our BG the trap suitcases onto the unfortunate victim. Just thought i'd post the pics in case anyone had any interest.....JD

Sorry to sound stupid, but how the hell does this work? Does the animal hit the plate with its head, or step on it?

[J Darcy 5,871]

The critter steps on the plate and that closes the jaws with power. This is not a legal trap in the UK, obviously.

[gamerooster 1,179]

So im guessing you set it side on? And what would be its equivalent size in normal BG size? 220, 260 Or 330?

Found this about setting one (smaller version)

its a completely different trap mate.

What make of trap is it lad? Did you buy it? Those Canadian's make some powerful traps!

[ratbuster 807]

JD, you're completely right, but the principle is the same. The killing arm comes sideways, isn't it. Yours is the KORO # 1 (Bigger, much more powerful, intended for larger game,)

Not really matey, on the BG the arms come together , on the koro there is only one arm. I have all the koro sizes and whilst they are a powerful trap they have flaws that can/could result in foul catches.

[ratbuster 807]

Right, I wasn't comparing the KORO with the BG, but referring to the small KORO's versus the bigger models. The design of the BG is better if I do understand you correctly. Never too old learn a thing or two about the multitude of traps

 

As i have a lot of family living in Canada, I wanted to order a couple of the smaller ones to have send over. looks like a good rat trap to me, the one in the youtube film

Those traps are a bit pricey to say the least, well from that website anyway! Is it true that the cost of shipping from Canada is ridiculous? I hear its much more expensive than shipping from the USA!

[J Darcy 5,871]

It's not cheap..i've shipped a few over and they work out bloody expensive in the end....

[ratbuster 807]

To be honest, I don't have a clue about the cost of having them send over . My Brother in law is planning to come over to visit his mum, who's still living in the Netherlands, could ask him to put a few in his suitcase

 

Thought they weren't that expensive between 10 and 14 dollars a piece , and thats Canadian dollar

I asked a friend who was on holiday's in Canada to get me a couple of Belisle 110's for me, and bring them home with him! He went to three different stores, and they all said the same thing! You have to produce a trapping licence to purchase traps!

 

I ended up getting them shipped from the USA after, and turned out pricey enough!

So much wiser now ! Thanks for enlightening me. Does this count for all Canadian provinces ? One lives in the Yukon, the other in BC
