A trap and set that takes both Marten and Fisher, and the right way to handle their fur for the most value.
Marten and Fisher often share the same habitat and are attracted to the same baits and lures, but because of their very different body size, finding a trap for both has been a problem. The #120, suitable for marten, can be too small for fisher, and the #160 and #220, suitable for fisher, can be too large for marten. Now there is a trap size that will consistently catch both: the new 5x5 and #155 double spring bodygrippers, with full 5-inch inside jawspreads.
In the first hour of this DVD, Bob Noonan demonstrates an effective combination marten/fisher set with the 5x5 on a northern Maine wilderness trapline. In the second hour, well-known Maine trapper and fur buyer Jerry Braley, who has handled 3,000-plus fisher and 4,000-plus marten, gives in depth, detailed, step-by-step fur handling instructions for both these valuable furbearers.

Bob Noonan has trapped fisher for over 40 years, and has interviewed a number of professional longline fisher trappers. This video contains knowledge from many combined years of successful experience. Fisher sets should be simple, fast to make, and weatherproof. This video contains an in-depth demonstration of modern equipment, including a new re-useable anchoring system, and proper bait and lure usage. Several traditional sets, and two effective, never-before-seen innovative sets developed by Bob, are shown in detail. There’s plenty of instructional footage on the trapline itself, showing locations, fisher catches, and the beautiful forest surroundings of a central Maine winter. Also, professional wilderness trapper and wildlife biologist Bill Mackowski discusses the latest research on fisher behavior, and shows his fast, simple version of a pole set. This video is literally packed with information. It’s also a visual treat, an actual trip on a winter fisher trapline.
2 hours & 15 minutes.
