Fenn Copies


Recommended Posts

About a year ago I posted that I had bought some Fenn traps from an advert in the local rag which turned out to be cheap copies. Someone replied to the effect that they were far inferior to genuine Fenn Mk4's and I should pay the few quid extra, support a british company and get quality gear. Well just to say, I could not agree more. The copies I bought are crap! Okay they do catch and kill but a number have fallen apart and have neede reassembling, a couple are unrepairable and have had to be binned. And to top it all they are a bugger to set light as I like them.

 

So in summary, pay the few extra quid and buy genuine Fenn trap.

Things to look out for in the advertisers wording and price .....

 

FENS - FENN TYPE all fenns should have Fenn Mk4 or Fenn Mk 6 stamped on the treadle plate

 

The chain can sometimes be a different style also,,,,,

 

And for a Mk 4 if its under £4 new its probably not a genuine fenn, Mk 6 under £6 then same applies most are £7 and £8 new respectively, this is just a guide or you will end up with jimmy wong traps :victory:
