- Hey Trappers!! This video we talk about what I feel is the proper setting techniques for long spring traps. I also discuss some modifications that I feel need to be done in order to make them fine working traps.

Another good one Dale, thanks for the advice.
Thank you Ron. I appreciate you watching
Great video i laminated my #5 long springs and really getting deep catches on my beaver job
Yes Gary lamination helps with that along with proper pan tension too. I appreciate you. Thank you for watching
Great video .I grew up with #11 and 2 long springs.Had to learn all those tricks the hard way. Hope them yunguns are watching.
I hope so too Jerry. The truly sad part is that the average age of viewers on my channel are between 55-65 years old. I appreciate you watching. Thank you
Took up the sport at 66. 72 now and my first traps were presents. 3 Bridger #3 double long springs. I've built a setter but am working to perfect it. (May take a rebuilt)
Anyway, rastling them is more effort than I want now.
This was the perfect info I needed.
Thanks and keep 'em coming. 🙃
@ferengiprofiteer9145 stay after it. And I'll do the same.
Thanks dale !
Thank you for watching Randy
Another good video Dale, I’ve been adding to my number 11 DLS traps, they are very versatile. I’ve opted for a larger pan and replaced the twist link with numerous 2 machine chain and an added swivel giving 4 swivel points like you had suggested in a previous video. Can’t wait for the upcoming season. I’ve made a lot of needed modifications hope it pays off.
It will Doug. I honestly believe that you're no better than your equipment. The more you do too it the better it is. Thank you for watching
Yes
Adding a good swivel is a must. A couple of kind old
timers taught me that some
years back. Best advice I ever received.
@@maxpinson5002 my k9 sets have 7 swivel points, it’s just something I hadn’t considered for smaller target animals. But I honestly never cared for the twist link chain.
Good advice.
Just me- I now weld a baseplate on every foot trap
I get that does not have one.
Took me a while to figure out
about the frame flex and how
bad it kicks you in the teeth.
You can buy flat stock at the
hardware store and cut some
out, or trim some length off
a commercially offered base
plate and weld it on. I like to
put a small bead on the frame
and cross frame junction as well
Thanks for the video
Thank you for watching Max. I appreciate it
Nice job Dale
Thank you Tim. Thank you for watching as well
I have a hard time with#4's. I'm old and weak. Great info
Clint they make setters for the long springs. Check with Cumberland's northwest trappers supply company. Thank you for watching
Excellent Brings back memories from when I was a kid. Struggling to set anything with 2 springs. Ugh if I ever forgot my vise grips. Lol
Yes that's right Kevin. Thank you for watching
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It’s so much appreciated.
Well Matthew I appreciate y'all taking the time to watch these videos. Thank you
You got it so right about not to center . I had problems with beaver done what you said. And thanks for the tip on setting them .
Thank you Paul. Thank you for watching too.
Maybe might have helped Dale to show how to level up the pan for some newer trappers. Just a thought maybe next time. Great video as usual my Friend. PS keep the gnats down there, hate it when their out flying in your eyes.
Yes I'll do that in another video soon Hoyt. I hate these gnats and the season of suck. Thank you for watching
Thanks for another great video! I have been leary about getting longspring traps from yard sales but think I'll pick some up and try them this fall, mostly #14's with teeth for beaver. Around here they say that you can't get a better beaver trap.
Oh my gosh Mike!! If you have a chance to buy 14s on yard sales you should be buying them!!! Thank you for watching
@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531 I'll be collecting them as I find them from now on!! Thanks for the input and thank you for being so hands on with your replies. I'll be making an order with you before the season starts this year.
@mikewhitman745 you're welcome. We appreciate you and your interest in Billingsley Brand Lures
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I always liked the #11
I appreciate you watching Jon. Thank you
Another good one! Thanks for the explanation of why I sometimes have trouble setting some of my traps. From the start I’ve just always favored long spring traps, any size. I’ve center swiveled some of them, yea it adds a level of difficulty to setting. But after watching this video, with your reason for staying ol’ school with the chain mount, makes sense. Hadn’t really thought about it that way.
As always thanks for mentoring us, stay safe out there!
Not saying that my thinking is the right way Mitch. But in my mind it makes sense. Thank you for watching
@@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531 I’ve been learning things from you for some time now. Always good common sense stuff. I owe most of my success to you. Your beaver sets are making me a popular guy, just flat out love making them! Understanding why I should do things is what separates your videos from the rest of the pack!!
@mitchwilliams5640 thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate you
👍🏻😎🇺🇸
Thank you Sonny
Very good info thanks Dale!!
Thank you for watching PopPop. I appreciate it
Dale, I like seeing you hold that spring down with your leg. I do the same thing when setting my big coil springs for beaver. I have some of the old CDR 7.5 traps that are pretty stout. With the type of setters that really just extends the length of the spring arms, I can set those traps with one hand. With the trap on my right knee tilted a little bit to the left, put the left side setter behind my left knee and then all I have to do is push down with my right hand on the right side setter and that kind of rolls the trap over and depresses both sets of springs at the same time.
Yes sir JW I've seen guys do that before with big coils. I appreciate you explaining it to others who read this. Thank you for watching
Good job simplifying it. I've seen people fight those.
So have I Jeff. I hope I explained it well enough. Thank you for watching
Hey Bother funny thing. I'm working on my double long springs too!!
Well I guess I was right on time with the video John. Thank you for watching
Guys don’t underestimate the holding power of these #11. There isn’t much they don’t catch.
That's a fact Scott!! I've held everything in them. Thank you for watching
You should have shown folks how to set them when we were kids ! 🤣
😂 too hard for me to bend over like that anymore Otter Cat. I appreciate you watching. Thank you
Not a fan of center swiveled traps. Great video!
Thank you Bill for watching
Thank you for sharing Dale! Are you going to be at the NTA?
Yes Mark I will be there. Thank you for watching
@@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531 See ya there my friend!
Look forward to seeing y'all Mark
So a #11 is just a #1 with 2 springs? Never used long spring. Excuse my ignorance. Thank you.
Yes Archery first that's what it is. Thank you for watching
