It is a pan replacement attachment for a #1-1/2 coil spring trap, converting it to a "dog proof" raccoon trap. The interior of the cylinder is usually baited with something sweet, attracting the raccoon to investigate the "food" source by reaching inside with its paw, activating the trigger for capture. Unlike the brand name dedicated, formal, solitary unit dog proof traps that attach and secure the paw from inside the unit, the Black Hole device allows for the trap jaws to clear the cylinder to catch and hold the raccoon.

I use a lot of them, they do work similar to the griz and just as effective. Just as simple to get the coon out,if not more so. And as pointed out a lot less expensive....they have been around longer then the griz and the guys who know how to use them swear to them not at them....Tom ok tom give us the lowdown on the best way to set these,do you bed them like a coyote trap,just pin them down on top of the ground, to me these will shine the most on dry land? ive got a dozen to try this year if they are as good as you say ill add a couple dozen more.

Huh? I know what you are saying Jonathan, but could not tell someone what you just said. LOL.
But, I agree
