I use a little bit of polyester filling under the pan. It's cheap an easy and pretty much ensures your trap is going to fire. Is it necessary? Maybe not but why take the chance. Good thinking. Even if you don't have any poly, just take some wax paper and use it as a pan cover.

You absolutely need some kind of pan cover or poly fill or something to keep dirt from falling under your pan. You may get away without one for a time but you’re eventually going to have missed opportunities From your ban being blocked by dirt if you don’t use them.

I know a guy who knows a guy who has had poly in his coyote and bobcat DVDs for years. I hear he still uses it at all his sets. Oh and most trappers, he says, use way way way too much under the pan. And don't ball it up. Blessings, Mark

I use pipe wrap under pans.
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Pipe insulation under pans is my choice.
