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 marten in Maine and Alaska, and has interviewed American and Canadian professional longline marten trappers from across the continent. This video is packed with detailed information from many sources, and many combined years of successful experience. 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. You’ll spend time on a November marten line in Maine’s Great North Woods. You’ll see locations, numerous marten catches, incidental white weasels and fisher, and some real wilderness scenery and weather as winter slams into the northern Maine boreal forest.
2 hours & 15 minutes.
