An Overview of the Conibear / Bodygrip Traps

In this video I go over the different sizes of bodygrip, or conibear, traps and their most common uses. These include the 110, 120, 155, 160, 220, 280 and 330 models.

Frank Conibear gave us a great tool for sure !

[@trappingtoday]

yes, it revolutionized trapping

I have caught beaver in a 220 . It all comes to how you have the trigger wires set . Just like I talked and seen some that have otter mess up their 330 . It is because how they have the wires set on the trap . I seen some otter that had to rings around the skin it show that the person did not have the wires set right.

Good episode! This is my 8th year of nuisance trapping woodchucks, possums and skunks on my small property. Been using 160's which work just great. Bought a few commercial kill traps from WCS over the winter as well as a few weasel boxes to catch chipmunks.
By the way, the first edition of your magazine is very good! I think it's missing a few photos maybe? Good job!

[@trappingtoday]

right on, thanks for the comment!

[@AnthonyRubeoOutdoors]

[@chrisholmes6029]

Do you have a video like this for foot traps also?

[@trappingtoday]

No but I should, that's a good idea

[@Northwoods208]

Any time I have a handful of conibears tangled up on my line, you can hear me yelling "damn it frank!" Lol. I use 280's and 330's for beaver and otter, I lean towards the 280's just to be weird

[@user-xn7gv4xy6v]

Where did you buy it?I want one please.

[@leeprimeroessler3277]

The european marten are a bit bygger than the american one, so 160 is very often used for marten over here.

[@trappingtoday]

interesting, thanks!
