Sapele masts and maple arms. Putting some hardware on. Waiting for instructions on the color of tape/flag and trap style (cross or H) for whomever wants to purchase them.

Here is what Carl from New York sent me after receiving his order. Thanks for the feedback, Carl.

I will be heading into year 10 this season.

I built 50 traps this Spring after the ice season.

I normally build about 100 traps per year.

I will try to build as many as I can this year. 50? 100? 150?

Thanks for your support.

Done.

Working on my last two sets of "wait listed" traps.

It's been a busy Spring. I am kind of looking forward to a bit of a break from the shop and some time on the soft water.

Those are maple masts. The customer supplied the wood.

Sending out a couple more orders tomorrow.

The one on the left is Rosa Paduk masts, Sapele arms, larger reels (4.5") with cork drags.

The one on the right is red oak, red tape, and reflective orange flags.
