A marten trapline calls for a large number of fast, easy to make sets, that will stay operational during freezing rain, heavy winds, and snowstorms. This video shows how to do it. It contains in-depth demonstrations of modern equipment, including a fast, re-useable anchoring system, and a number of different sets. It also introduces a set variation using extremely light, portable, inexpensive equipment. Professional Maine marten and fisher trapper Jerry Braley shows his version of an effective marten set, as well as his innovative variation of a #220 pole set designed to take both marten and fisher.
