Default Fisher & marten body grip traps

Just looking to add to the fisher marten traps have been using the Bélisle Super X 160. Not unhappy with them just interested if there is something better out there.
What do you folks use and how do you like them.

Also where are you buying them, the ATA?

Thanks TEH

i find 120s to be optimum for marten, and 220s optimum for fisher...... the 160s are a good choice if you have a fair number of fisher on your marten line.

Hi,

I have also been useing the Bellisle 120's for Marten and do catch the odd Fisher as well and I bought a few LDL 120's a couple years ago and like them way better. I just Bought 2 doz of the LDL's from Klassen, he was finaly able to get the rights to sell them here in Alberta, before you could only buy them in BC that I was aware of.

Gabby.

I was going to try them to see if they work any better than the belilse and see if how much maintaince that they take.

The trigger system use to drive me crazy on the old Victor 160's, forever fixing them. The Belilse have been not to bad in that department so far.

Brain have you tried any other models?
