heres a quick and easy one for ya.

I used a #2 lsp. for this demo, any trap that will hold a coon will work.

step one, set trap and place in spot the set will be in.


Bait with your favorite bait


take an old rim from a car/truck/what ever and lay it over the trap and bait. make sure you center the pan of the trap in the hole of the rim.


the best part about this set is you don't need to staked the trap. a coon isn't going anywhere with the rim on his arm
Just make sure the trap wont go thru the hole in the rim ;\)

Hope you try this set and good luck.

Only problem I see is a coon moving it while reaching for the bait. Might work better if trap is attached to something solid with a smear bait on the pan.

Try covering the pan with tin foil,they can't resist shiny objects.

thats the old spare off my old dakota, it never seen the road, but a couple of times for a very short period.

the white letters do add to the appeal of the set

if the hole in the rim is small enough, it wont pull the trap thru the hole.

If it was a big coon it could use its back feet and its one front food and pull its trapped paw out of the trap!! Kind of like if a tree is in reach of a trapped coon. He will pull himself out!!

OMG, the junk yards of America are going to have a run on old rims with flat tires! I'll know my competition has been readin' this forum if I see them lugging lots of old rims in the backs of their trucks.

Neat set. Saw one simalar about 20 years ago in Fur-Fish-Game. Not very efficient however if big numbers are the quest. Zachattack, If your equiptment is in good shape most coon, even big coon wont pull out if they reach something like a big tree branch.

Dont get me wrong. Exotic sets are fun to play with and I try a few each year on my line. I dont care if a guy harvests one coon or one thousand he or she is still a trapper and is just as important as any big numbers guy! We all love our "pursuit of happiness" and wish to continue doing so.

Unless you already have some rims laying around, by the time you pay for the trap and pay for the rim, you might as well get a Lil Griz Getter.

Never under estimate the power-of-a-Coon! They are very very strong. The caught coon will be able to use his hind feet/legs to pull and his hind legs are super strong.

Given the rim/tire combo to pull against/on, your trap had better be very strong and hopefully he gets caught by more than a couple toes. If toe caught, He will be GONE, I'd just about guarantee it!

Good Luck \:\)

But still its a great idea and one of the very few "original" new set ideas. Cool.

Its too creative not to try.
