Bruce, got some 160 conibear springs to add to my swim thru traps, haven't add them yet. Just wondering how you set them? Do you us the safety's to hold the springs closed? Thought a guy could slip a hook thru top of cage and pull spring closed and wire it in place then do the second spring. Now tell me how you set them if you don't mind, or did I figure it out?
You're pretty close. I have two safety hooks. I pull a door up and hook the door to the top of the cage so that it is open. Do the other door with the other hook and then set the trap. I had to build a door in the top of the trap so I could set it.
Then remove the hooks.
Found out it is mandatory to tie the two hooks together with a piece of heavy string. Otherwise they get lost real quick.
