I use the Bridger #5 4-coiled for my beaver footholds and I like them. I often have difficulty setting them on my knee when in the water with thick, wet gloves on. Would the MB650 setter work or is there another that people would recommend?

I've read through the archives and didn't quite see an answer to my question. A few people mentioned a one-handed setter but I haven't seen it online with any of the supply houses.

Thanks,
Andrew

The one hand setter is made by some one here in Tman. of course I can't think of his name right now.

Hopefully some one with a better memory than me will chime in with more info.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check out Southern Snares. I had been looking at the Maine Trap Setter, of a similar premise, but wasn't sure if they'd work on the Bridger #5's.

Dave Sheldon one hand setters. I run Bridger # 5s and his setters are awesome. Got several pairs for my bigger traps. Makes life easier.

Don't think a 650 will fit.

Get a set from onehandsetter, and paint them fluorescent pink.
