Nice, easy to produce unit! Thanks for sharing.

CANT WAIT FOR THE TRAPPING VIDS

Great video! Love the shop too!! 👍👍

Best drowning rod video on KZfaq.

Thanks for sharing 👍. Finally bought a welder for the garage. Great information

Thanks for sharing buddy!!

Thanks much, will be using this set up Cheers

I will have to make a few of them for next season thanks for showing 👍

Can't wait for the spring beaver trapping vids, been looking forward to these for a while

Nicely done. Heck of a shop you've got to work in!!

The NO BS Traps are amazing definitely my favorite over the MB 750 that I've used for like 8 years. I started with the NO BS last year and they are well worth the money. Metal shavings suck so bad. Something I don't hear people talk about much is Flash Burn from the welder or even potentially getting it on your eyes, if you look too long at the Arc. I have 4 years of welding experience and it's mh favorite thing to do. It's extremely fun and enjoyable I'm thinking of going to college for welding.

Question..I can have access to smooth rods from the old oil pump houses around locally. , Or do you have to use the rebar like u use?

I build mine similarly...just a heads up to people using a lower amp/smaller stick welders at home...if you are using zinc coated washers, you will need to remove the coating on the washer first or burn through it. I learned this the hard way and my washer at the top fell off in the River. I’d suggest steel washers. Just trying to help.

I always wanted to make some . I like my cable lines.

Awesome video thanks. I'm not a welder so I hammer a bend over the trap end and use a cable clamp on the drowning end. Not as sleek as your setup but it works.

Nice setup! I will be waiting for the Beaver videos!!

Good Stuff. The area I trap could use some of theses to make things easier.

👍

Thanks for the Johnny Rod build. I was hoping for a measurement on the stop but it looked like16 to 18 in.up thanks!!! Rick NE. Ohio

A+...........................thanks!

Love drowning rods as 100% drowning set providing water is deep enough compared to cable which I found a pain and not as efficient not to mention hauling heavy weights around.

Nice barn!

Tkx for sharing I'm on this now. 😅

pretty neat, I use a heavier snare cable with a weight in a minimum of 4 feet of water. i can see using your method in a few tight spots. thanks for the share...and BTW, good job welding. :)

hopefully, there will be a video about setting traps with this soon.

Awesome video buddy!! It doesn’t take much welding to make Drounding rods!! Some people get all flustered when they hear guys talk about making them & just want to buy them!! I bet it didn’t even take 330 a half hour to make all 18 drounding rods!!

Thank you for your help and videos for the beginner got steel in the Pa water today thanks to your video. Can you show a video rebuilding 330 with rivets for traps with loose rivets....

Nice job 👍👍👍👍🇨🇦

excellent video. Curious if you spray paint the drowning rods or treat them with anything to keep them from rusting.

For the stop on the bottom of the drowning rod, I put a bead weld about 1/4" high. It's quicker and I have had welded #9 wire break off after a while. Never lost a bead button at the bottom. Also use 3/8's rod 10ft long, it's lighter and will bend slightly to allow a deepwater stab over the hump of the bank. It is easy to straighten when you have a long reach to deepwater. I also use 1/2" short rods for den snare supports, to use double snares on. They drive deep & sturdy, then come out easy. Tough ones you can grip with channel locks and hammer them out of the hole. A couple of good whacks will loosen well enough to pull out by hand.

You could cut the flat steel quicker if you lay it flat in the chop saw. Great informative video. I’m looking forward to your spring beaver videos. 👍🏻😎

Just built some just like that for this year

Whats your opinion on using the swivels that come with coil traps for a drowning lock? Noticed u used 2 use them 3 + years.

I love this! I've been using a drowning cable hooked to a cinder block, but its a pain to haul that block around....this looks like the cats meow! Gonna make some of these! Thanks for sharing all the great trapping tricks! 👍👍👍

now i want to see some welder reviews....

Question , what is the reason to use those drowning rods ? Just to carry them around would make me take the 330 every day of the week

Way cool - what kind of welder?

Would welding a 5/8 nut work for a stop

Love your channel ! Been subscribed.. Question ⁉️ what benefit is setting #330 trigger mechanism in the mud "upside" down??

Do you have to deal with a lot of frost when setting drowner sets in the spring. I do in ND just wondering how you deal with it thanks.

How much do you have the cost of all beside the trap thank you much

I've asked before who sings that song after the end of your show?

Good video brother. I've been wanting to do this setup. Question do you prefer 10 foot over 8 feet. And what is your thoughts on the fiberglass 8 foot rod

How do you keep it secured on rocky bottoms

Drowning rods are good if you're going to be using them all the time but to carry them back in the bush you're better just to use cable I've trapped all kinds of beaver with cable all kinds and it's nothing to carry him back

I had one break my wire this year.

Great video!!! Good information👍 Looking forward to the spring beaver vids
