I was looking online at these Victor Connibear 50 and 60 with the 4 way trigger.

Does anybody use them and what is your opinion?

What's the best conniber in these sizes?

thanks

They are a copy of the Montgomery 55.Their small size pretty much limits them to mink and smaller animals.

I have some BMI 55s. Their nice little traps. Keyword: LITTLE. Their really too small for general muskrat work. As was noted, they do work for mink and that's their own function on my line. I bought then expressely for mink work, bottom edging, but I now wish I had purchased more of the 110 sized bodygrippers.

Thanks, I didn't realize they were so small. I'm interested in the 4 way trigger feature and was thinking mink and marten. I see Victor offers their 120 with the 4 way.

Would the 120 be better for me? And is the 4 way better than conventional?

I'm just getting started. I have a couple OLD 110s and some new Duke 120's. The Dukes seem to be hard to set off and easy to get around the triggers. I play with setting them light but I'm thinking some weasels are still just slithering round or through and cleaning up my bait.

Suggestions?
