Under Ice set for Beaver.

Johnny Thorpe method of baiting conibears for under ice beaver.

I have found with this set when you get one and it bloats and floats to the ice the beaver freezes and then you have to chisel a large hole around the beaver to remove

Question for you .... why would you leave 2 or 3 inches of poplar on the outside edges of the 330 ? A beaver will grab that whittled end and pull on it and it's no where near the inside of the jaws. Just curious as to your method thanks

I haven't had that issue.

What you call that set? I call it swinging Suzie.

We called them a suitcase, split the bait stick a little wedge it between the trigger wires one wrap of tie wire to hold everything tight. We usually used them beside deep feed beds.
