For you beaver trappers who have made your own floats... How do you keep you 330's from slipping out due to the current or anything else? Do you use hooks & rubber bands to keep them in the slots?

How are you making your floats,I use 6 nails. I never made any before until yesterday. I made two of them out of 2x4 boards & plywood. Both of them are 36" long. I'll post photos when I get them on my comp. |

With that beaver float design bungee cord would work best.
Nice looking muskrat floats.

Thanks Judd! It's a shame that I have to wait until next season to try them out since everything is closed here in Illinois except beaver which only has 4 days left. At least I'm planning ahead!

Agree bungee cord.
I think those long rat floats are going to need a piece of 1x1
about 2 inches up from the bottom to keep them from tipping.
Good looking floats.by the way

They shouldnt tip much if I have them set with a center post through the middle of them. Well I wouldnt think they'd tip much.
