What a great way to do just a little conversion on a cheap trap. This will help a lot of new trappers as well as a bunch of experienced guys that have a pile of #1’s lying around.
So simple yet genius. Thanks Dale, will definitely be modifying all my #1's. Keep the endless stream of knowledge flowing. A lot of the stuff I see on your channel, I will be using in our Trapper Education Courses for sure. Assuming that's alright with you.
well dale sure can tell what you say is from experience ever considrer more chain attaching to drag our country getting stake to hold sometimes difficut keep up the good work
You can run a drag on say 6 ft of Steve. I dont have to here . I can usually get a stake in to hold here. Some times here though you can't get a stake in because of bed rock. I appreciate you watching
Thank you Dave. I appreciate that. I don't try to push my baits and lures on these videos because i feel they are good enough to stand on their own. Thank you for watching
@@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531 makes sense to me! I plan to try some of your stuff this season for sure, I have heard very good things from the mouths of men I trust as trappers not salesman
Great video, you haven’t posted a video that I have not saved. Can’t thank you enough. I’ve modified a couple of my long springs and just love it. Always wanted to do it just figured I was too new to know what’s what or except-able. For me, setting seems so much easier. I’m a long spring fan from the start. I would like to ask; this mod bumps a #1 to let’s say a 1.5, is that incremental increase consistent as you move up trap size? Will a 1.5 now have the hold of a #2 and so on… Again thanks for all you do, I’m better at this because of you.
Mitch 1st off thank you for watching these videos. 2nd I'm glad they're helping you some. 3rd I assume the modification you made was moving the chain off the spring to the frame? If you did? Then yes you will gain some holding power in the trap. Not sure that you gain that much, but any is better than none. I'm not certain you'll gain any in the bigger sizes because of the fact that they already have 2 springs working for you. Hope this answers your questions
@@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531 thanks for the reply. Ahh, forgot all about the additional spring on the larger long springs, new guy mistake. I will be moving the chains on my #0 - 1.5 for sure. I had moved the chain to the center of a 1.5 but just didn’t like bedding it. Saw your video, made the change and for me it works. Just feels good all around. On another note, what would you suggest as a long distance lure to get a (grey)foxes attention? Been watching it for some time, just can’t bring it in close. I’m located in northern Alabama…. Thanks
In your country id recommend my Fox River call #1. It's a rodent based lure with just a touch of skunk to give it some lift. Works well on all predators. If you'd like to order some you can call or text me at 319-217-0656 or email me at dalebillingsley80@gmail.com thank you. I appreciate you watching
Todd strodeck had something similar a while back about chain placement ,found it quite interesting how it can help where you anchor a trap ,that would probably help on them single under springs to.
James go back and look at some of my older videos deadliest raccoon set and setting trails with conibears foothold and snares in particular. There will be some of the information that you're looking for in those videos. I will try to do some more of those kinds of videos and go more in depth. Thanks for watching these. I appreciate it
I've got several made up like that, couple of otter toes is all it takes to keep him in the trap. That's why all them old stoploss traps is such bears. Good video Dale Colt
They're dynamite when rigged this way. The great Bill Kindervater wrote this method in his southern trapping book way back when. Thanks for watching Dan
Going move my chain on my #11 dbl jaw to hole in the base plate , going to drill existing hole out a little and put in a j hook !!!!! Those bad boys will hold a fox I bet
Another great video with loads of ideas.
Thanks Dennis. I appreciate you taking time to watch these videos
Gotta love a man who wears pliers on his hip! Now you got me confused on whether I want to get #1's or #11's....lol Really enjoying all your videos!!
Ive carried a pair of pliers sonce i was 25 years old Mark lol. Yea the choice is up to you pal? Thanks for watching these videos i appreciate it
Keep the great content coming dale thank you
Doing my best Noah. Thanks for watching these videos

An Arkansas Trapper thank you for watching. I can't take credit for it. It was printed in a book way back in the day by the great Bill Kindervater
Thanks Dale, now I gotta go dig through the shed to find all my #1s and rig them up!
You're welcome Midwestern trapper. Yea drag em out and put em to use
Great thinking👍
I have dozens and dozens of the no.1 long spring I use exclusively for muskrats. This will give a new dress to an old bride
That's right Rick. Thank you for watching.

Very nice to see good knowledge shared in a common sense way to truly help trappers and not have merchandise for sale and self promotion as a focus!

I knew you'd dig it otter cat. Thanks for watching. I appreciate you
you the man 😝😝
Thanks Melvin. Its my idea though. The credit goes to the great Bill Kindervater.

Todd i believe most single under springs are anchor there. Thank you for watching
Sorry Jimmy i called you Todd and didn't mean too lol
👍🏻😎
Thanks Sonny. I appreciate you
would love to see a video on how you utilize your # 11's and modify them as well as some set locations? thanks a ton dale

How bout a video on setting stoploss traps at pockets
Thanks Dusty. Yea i might can do that for you
You made it so simple . I know about the way the animal pulls on the trap spring
I can try to complicate if you'd like me to Paul? 😆 thanks for watching i appreciate it
@@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531 that is up to you. Just want to thanks for the way you explain it.
You're welcome Paul
I've got several made up like that, couple of otter toes is all it takes to keep him in the trap. That's why all them old stoploss traps is such bears. Good video Dale
Colt
By the way people these videos Dale is making are the true "secerets" to long lining stupid simple
Yes sir Colt thats right. Thanks for watching
nice , will be doing some mods on the #1's . i want to use them at pocket sets . should be great for mink and raccoon rigged that way .
They're dynamite when rigged this way. The great Bill Kindervater wrote this method in his southern trapping book way back when. Thanks for watching Dan
@@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531 thank you for sharing your knowledge on sets and set ups .
Dan im happy to do so sir.
Could you show bedding and staking a #1 in a trail
Absolutely I will
Thanks for watching laxcker. I appreciate it
@@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531 looking forward to it thank you so much
That video will be up here in a few minutes laxcker. You're welcome
Going move my chain on my #11 dbl jaw to hole in the base plate , going to drill existing hole out a little and put in a j hook !!!!! Those bad boys will hold a fox I bet
Sure they will Dennis. Thanks for watching these videos
