Cory,trail sets,are good for mink.Also look at creek banks with overhanging grasses,you will often find where mink and rats are running the banks,under the cover of these grasses.
The correct terminology --is foothold trap,when referring to longsprings and coilsprings.
I carry several books,and a video or two on these animals.You will find that the bulk of the mink information is on open water trapping of these animals,but land sets are often covered.
