Which notch do you use when you set your 110's for rats and mink?

Personally I use the one that squeezes the 110 as tight as possible on the stabilizer but that varies from trap to trap.

Why 3 on the dry land mink Gary? Purely for stability?

stability and less tension on the trigger ... i even go as far as to loosen the trigger fore i set it ... so it has sum give to it ..... so the mink will push it out of the way instead of tryin to slink around/thru it ... if ya know what i mean ... lol

I usually use notch #3 for the lighter trigger tension, but will set on another notch to make the trap stable if I feel it's too wobbly with my chosen stabilizer.

Boss Paul posted on this once, He said the notch closest to the pivot made it a hair trigger, middle "Normal", and the end was the least sensitive, for in currrent etc.

I like notch #3 if I'm setting it on land. If its for muskrats, it will probably be set on a slant because the trap is set on the rat house, or just set in calm water, notch #2. And if its set in current I use notch #1.

I set on 3 most of the time. Especially bottom edge sets. Easier to stabilize in mud. Will set on 3 on bank trails to for the same reason. I set it on 1 in rat runs.

I use #3 unless there is a reason to use one of the other notches.

alright i've always wondered about why there is 3 differnt notches but didnt know it was so complecated i've always used the first notch cause i figured it would be just a little bit faster to catch the animal than if i set on the 3rd notch?
