Great info. I have had this problem as well were the mink will walk in and my trigger is about level and not set off.The waxing is ok but i figured out that F1 dye works just as well
Thanks for this video. you've just saved me some money, I was about to buy new triggers. I haven't had this issue with new duke 110s, but the older models I bought used had this issue. Thanks again!
Thank you Todd, New subscriber. Your obviously a very astute young man. Awesome improvement to a quality product. Thank for a quality informative video, Happy new year, Boe
We been waxing ours for years the only ones we dont are the 330s beaver and otter are pigs coming through the shut I've yet to have a 330 fail to catch
I know they are too small for raccoons…but…if it was left that way would it beneficial to leave it that way and turn the trap around? That way a bigger animal like a raccoon would get its head pretty far into it before snapping?
I have experimented very little with them so. It seems if I set them with the dog in the front I get a “suitcase” and if I set it with the dog in the rear I get a head and neck catch with small varmints.
@@toddstrohecker I have a couple a bought last week. They both have alot of movement of the dog both ways. "I didn't think???" ..Neither of them had any "slop" till i caught a couple of animals in them. My guess is they were always that way and I had it set inside or middle catch. The outside catches on both brand new duke 110s have alot of slop. I did have a couple of misses and I am sure it's what caused the misses.
It will not due to the shape of the jaws. I made the mistake of buying them for that reason. The belisles also have trouble when used in a Noonan style stabilizer. So much tension on the trigger that it takes quite a bit of force to fire them. Get some dukes or Bridgers for setting in drain tile.
@@toddstrohecker Okay, thank you for replying. So, it appears that paraffin or beeswax is okay. I did not know if paraffin wax would create a deterrent odor.
Very good information Todd. Thanks. I wasn't aware of the side pressure on the trigger firing a waxed 110. Keep the tips coming.
Great Video, informative and you delivered all the information without a load of unnecessary waffle. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Really enjoy the trap modification videos. I wax my 110s also
I like that sensitive trigger action, especially for tree sets for squirrels. Thanks!

I noticed that on my Duke 160s, the trigger is the same with the travel issue. Thanks for the tip!

Great advice on the trigger
Thank you! I'm brand new to this and the notch being oversized was bothering me. Couldn't figure it out till now.
Well done video!
great video,,thanks for the tips..
Thanks for the tips.

Are the 110’s ok for catching rabbits

That may have some merit. Not all of them have this issue though.

Waxing makes them snap shut faster also
Do you think this same principle of a nail to. Make it sensitive will work on 220 or 330 traps?
It should. Use a slightly larger diameter nail
Does anyone know if the belisle in the 110 size will fit the same diameter pipe?
It will not due to the shape of the jaws. I made the mistake of buying them for that reason. The belisles also have trouble when used in a Noonan style stabilizer. So much tension on the trigger that it takes quite a bit of force to fire them. Get some dukes or Bridgers for setting in drain tile.
that a really good tip thanks ? 155 to?
I’ve never worked with a 155 but if the trigger is similar I bet it would. I’ll pick one up at the next convention I go to and check it out.
Would fix n wax work for this?
Anything that provides lubrication should work
How again does the waxing help ?
It makes trigger fire with very little pressure.
Paraffin or bees wax?
I just use commercial trap wax.
