330s

I use a setting tongs to set 330s.I have found the tong setters to be of better use than the pull setters,especially when standing in 3 feet of water ,taking a large beaver from the trap.One word of caution when using a setting tongs,once you depress the springs of the 330--keep a good grip on the tongs,so they wont kick back at you.

If your just gettin into beaver trappin Ill make a suggestion.  Spend the money and get Charles Dobbins video on open water beaver trapping.  

Rick Hatton used to sell them...not sure if he still does....

anyway, They show you a ton of info including how to set #330's on a shovel handle.   After a month of beaver trapping I bought the video and my catch went up right away.  

Iv always just squeezed them together using every muscle in my body...lol
