Trap failed

[micky 3,325]

I had  a Squirrel  in a 55 Bodygrip  and it failed to kill it , i have caught numerous Rabbits , Rats and squirrels in the 110 116  with no problems but since i have been using the 55  it has happened several times if you look at the pictures you can see the problem  but not the cause , my only thought is the spring clips that hold the trap are somehow out of sinc other than that it is a design fault that should have been apparent in the initial testing .

I have a few 55's micky, but seldom use them. Have you had springs slip before? I've had it with Bridger 110's, but not with any of the BMI's.

The Squirrel was very lively and i am sure it could have been released unharmed  but it had been in the trap less than an hour i have caught around 30 rats in the 55s and the springs about ten times i am told this is not uncommon

Hmm, yes it certainly seems to be worse with the 55's
