Heres a set I started using last season in select spots. Just a bottom edge on with a 330 for beaver/otter..I use a bit of castor based lure on the log above the trap. It seems to work pretty good in travel ways espically coupled with another fenced off 330 in the middle.

Thank you very much for the picture, I can use the knowledge.
May I ask about all the cable though?
That one spring is almost vertical to get it close to the edge, very interesting.

Yea, its a belisle. All my bodygrips are equiped with 8'-10' of cable. Usually its stretched up the bank to a tie off. There I just have coiled up next to the bank. It also lets the beaver roll out in the water away from the set so if another beaver comes thru the blocked off channel it wont see another beaver dead.

freepop I quite often more often then not have springs on conis vertical as opposed to the horizontal positin to make them fit in tight spots. That is the beauty of the conis you can have one spring staight up the other straight down if thats what is needed to make it work in a particular place. Bottom edge sets work under the ice on deep inside corners as well as in open water when you can walk on the ice it is a very easy set to make
We get out of life only as much as we really want and work hard enough to achieve

I'll often times use a 660 or a Megabear for a bottom edge set through the ice...very deadly for beaver when you're having a hard time finding bank den and house entrances.
