Those brackets are awesome! Absolutely a necessity on the marsh. I might suggest I put the pole out away from the hut and bed the trap right on the end of the slide that way the pole guides them away from the hut. I have found less ring offs and damaged huts that way.
Another great video Scott. I've been using the 110 hagz brackets, like them very much. The only problem where I trap is the water level fluctuates depending on the wind direction and strength blowing across the Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair. I use aluminum poles for the brackets not the fibreglass rods. I also put a wrap of electrical tape on the bottom of the rod so when I pull the rod out of the mud the hagz can't slide off the bottom.
Jeff really changed rat trapping for me with those 110 spring clips. They are a phenomenal idea. I need to get some fiberglass rods though. I use the steel ones and they're heavy.
I started using Hagz brackets and the spring clips 2 seasons ago, what a great product, love them. I also use there muskrat tail hook for skinning them, I like your victor jump spring and the stop loss traps.
That's one thing I miss doing trapping muskrats and mink and coon, caught so many furs, not much for rats in the area of my home town of Grand View Wi. And I don't have any of my traps I gave them to my brother Glen and Gary, they were trapping furs around lakes and rivers in northern Wisconsin
We have jump traps too. But some are regular jumps. The ones with the longer springs are called longsprings. If they have the stop-loss device the are called longspring stoploss
Glad you mentioned the bait that can be put on the system. I was wondering why you didn't have carrots or something on the set. I've asked before what you do with the beaver, so now what do you do with the rats? Some areas these are eaten and are considered a seasonal fare. I don't know about eating a muskrat though.
@@330Maniac you must have cleared out the produce isles then lol i do not do any muskrat trapping myself but do enjoy catching beavers when i can down south here.
Sorry, I don't understand English well, do you set traps without bait, just on the trail? What do you do with caught muskrats, do you know that they are eaten and they are delicious?
Wondering where you got your fiberglass rods? I'm having the darndest time finding them locally for a reasonable price, at the six foot length. I know Hagz has them, but the shipping cost is pretty steep. Thanks.
That was awesome Scott! I think the Hagz bracket and 110 clips are the ticket for sure. Not a lot of muskrats in my neck of the woods though but I Iove muskrat trapping when I can find some. Would a swivel prevent the twist offs? When are the muskrat pelts prime in your area? Great video!
@@330Maniac yes sir, blacksmiths from oneida n.y. & victor got together & invented & built traps. An industry that continues today. I'm from w.n.y. the claw hammers that we work with to this day was also founded in oneida area. 1 of those original hammers made it's way with a carpenter who purchased it,to a church building excursion in the N.Y.C. area. It was a smack heard around the world in short order. & no I did not leave you out! His name as acting commander & chief of the russia army is rear admiral Vladimir PUNSZLIC

An added little trick is wrap some electrical tape around the bottom of the pole( about 6" up) to prevent the bracket from sliding off.
I've been using the Hagz brackets and the conni clips for 2 seasons now. I absolutely love them.
Great to see someone using #0 long springs. Old school guy, they’re great, just don’t over use them.
Thanks! They have their place like any other trap. I prefer small spaces or open water pad Traps

Try tractor supply for 4ft ones

That's a kickass set up. 👊💀
Love this channel. Shame he doesn’t get more views. Keep it up because we love it!
I've noticed his subscriber number. Thought it would be much higher
Another good video Scott. I’m sure it made Jeff smile. 👍🏻😎
Great job my friend!
I call those jump traps I guess it's slang but being from the south maybe that's just what people call them here.. Deadly on mink & muskrat thou..

Gotcha.. thanks for the reply.. Pretty neat system for rats on video !! Fantastic
70 degrees in Maine today, but this does the trick!!! Any day now...
Nice Muskrats thanks for sharing. Good luck with your Deer season
I use those brackets work really well with a little bait. Enjoy your videos
Thanks for the info.. Not a lot of water trapping here but it seems fairly straight forward and effective. Keep'em coming !!

I sell then as well
Enjoyed the video i have seen some trappers use carrots as bait on the poles as well.
Yes! I've used carrots, apples, leeks, potatoes and celery

+1 on J3O's Hagz products. 💯
Great job Scott 👍😁😁
Great video once again buddy
awesome scott! 9 is pretty damn good.
What are they getting for muskrats now? I use to trap rats but not anymore. Awesome videos thanks for sharing them.

Where do you buy your 1/2” fiberglass rods? I’d like to buy some 10’ rods
Link is in the video description
Old men say that the muskrats houses very big means lots of snow
Sorry kept trying to listen ..but loving your battleship.. what king and model is that
Ya the wolves have really depleted the beaver were i live
Can you call the Monsters Rat Blankets?
will the fiberglass rod hold a coon?
I'm not sure about that one. I think if it was pushed deep into the mud it would. But it's a little hard to get it deep into a sandy bottom
That is an oneida jump trap
Yes, a victor jump. Victor's are oneidas.
