To all: The 1 1/2 Bridger Coil is a great muskrat trap, but it is important to weaken the coils as they have way too much power "out of the box" for Muskrats. If you pass a torch over each of the spring coils 3 times, you should be close to reducing the power proportionally to the target species.

Or you can do like me and tear trap down, throw the stock coils in with the scrap and replace with lovely little 4 coil add on springs, the kind that #3 Bridgers are 4 coiled with.

My wrecked hands can set them all day long and zero issues.
