Thats why they are called nomoles lol J/K They can be tricky to get the hang of setting and bedding the trap.

How big are your moles? Maybe your moles are tougher over there. The nomoles work fine for me over here. I get the same results with them as I do with Steves traps.

I've used them & caught Moles, when they are new they are hard to set & as they Rust gets easier. I like Steves Traps which are a Little more Expensive
But they are well worth the cost & They dont miss often if set correctly. I learned a long time ago & found out the MONEY way. That
" anything good aint cheap and any thing cheap aint good".

I quit using them-- just too much $ lost in empty traps.. The best I could get them to do was catching moles by the "knapp" of the neck/back. They are usually alive caught that way.

You got what you paid for.
Buy some of Steve's traps, and you'll see how much more effective, user-friendly, and quick to set they are. No more reaming out runs or fiddling with that flimsy, rust-prone trigger and cheesy chain.
With the wasted time and fuel checking empty traps, you could have bought Steve's and been ahead.
I have yet to tell myself, "Ya know, the most effective trap in my arsenal for this particular situation would be a No-Mol!" Never.
Listen to the molers on here. Other than a few Nash and No-Mol hold-outs, the OOS, Steve's, and spear trappers are legion, and for good reason.
I love WCS, but No-Mols fall short. Way short.
I'll be quiet now.

I have a dozen no mols and had the same trouble. The problem with them is nothing that a dozen of Steve's traps didn't fix. I still have the no mols, but have a lot more of Steve's.

That trap looks like a tool for pike fishing to me . They sell this jaw spreader to hold the toothy pikes jaws open so you can remove the hook . Looks just like it . I here people have good luck with the no mole . I started with the Steve's traps this year and I'm truly lost now without . I feel like a cave man with me old traps

I love the no-mole. Sometimes raccoons dig up the mole for dinner.

I'm sure the no mole works because Alan would not sell it. All kinds of reputable people do well with it. Butt I am like most of the people posting on this thread I can't do very well with it and fortunately I have lost the contractor pack I bought years ago. Probably a dozen mole skeletons in closet somewhere.
When I buy new traps I am going with Steves'
