Possum Skinner,
I noticed your trigger wires are always on top not under water. Could you explain why if you have a chance....

I always put mine on top as well. Simple reason...keeps me from getting caught! When I put them on the bottom...I joined the 330 club.

I have switched for the H-stabilizers to the Stakelizer. It is so much faster and convenient. I only use the H-40inches for deep water runs or when I run out of stakealizers.

My guess is that "in moving water'" too much debri floating into the trap could possibly set-off the trap with the trigger wires under the water.

With them above the water level, the chances of that happening is pretty slim

--------- ---------- ----------- -----------
I tried the "Stakelizers" several years back too, but went back to the "H-types" for 110s, 220s and 330s.... All my 330-types are made with heavier rod than the 1/4" stuff for the smaller traps..... I leave a lot of the 220-types in-place from season-to-season too....

I use the H type stands all the time. I mostly put the triggers on the bottom shaped like a T but sometimes a V. In my state 330s dont have to be set underwater. They have to be only 'patially' submerged in water. Here are beaver otter blind sets in place.



This is low tide the trigger wires are underwater at higher tides.












Do these sets work?

get pics possum!!!!! the h-type is perferably the thing for me also-water & land sets. one thing i like to do is put grass on top to more conceal-and concerding we live in different areas--seems like people tend to borrow traps, so concealing is a must.

TIP OF THE DAY:

I was in my buddies basement yesterday and noticed he had some signs that he uses to place on customers lawns after he completes a job.....just like the signs politicians use.

These signs had h-type mounts for them. A little bend here and there and they'd be great to use with body grips. My buddy gets them at hardware stores for a really good price....somewhere around $5 a dozen!
