Funke Trap Tags Bodygrip & Longspring Setter Model 3 — Aluminum, Lightweight 10 oz, Rust-Resistant

The Funke Trap Tags Model 3 is an aluminum setter built to set #110–#160 bodygrip traps and #1–#2 longspring traps quickly, rust-free, and at just 10 ounces.

Whether you’re prepping a line in the field or organizing traps at the shop, the Model 3 Bodygrip and Longspring Setter from Funke Trap Tags is designed to speed setup and reduce hand fatigue. Constructed from aluminum to resist corrosion, this lightweight tool includes a U-clip for longspring traps and works across a range of bodygrip sizes and longspring models, making it a versatile addition to any trapper’s toolkit.

How does the Model 3 make setting #110–#160 bodygrip traps easier?

The setter provides mechanical leverage so you don’t compress the springs by hand, which improves safety and consistency during each set. Its form fits the common dimensions of #110 through #160 traps and locks into position for precise placement.

• Fits #110, #120, #160 bodygrip sizes
• Reduces direct hand pressure for safer operation
• Delivers repeatable, consistent sets every time
• Made from rust-resistant aluminum for field durability

Can the Model 3 handle longspring traps, and how is the U-clip used?

Yes—Model 3 supports #1 and #2 longspring traps. The included U-clip secures the longspring’s jaws to the setter so you can compress springs and position the trap without slipping, enabling a controlled release when placed.

• Compatible with #1 and #2 longspring models
• U-clip anchors springs to the setter for safer compression
• Helps align jaws for accurate placement in diverse terrain
• Lightweight design keeps field kit weight low

What materials and construction aspects matter for field use?

Model 3 is machined from aluminum, so it won’t rust when exposed to wet or muddy conditions common in trapping. The lightweight 10 oz. weight makes it easy to carry on regular outings, while a robust profile ensures it withstands repeated use without bending.

• Aluminum construction resists corrosion and reduces weight
• 10-ounce weight for easy transport and reduced arm fatigue
• Sturdy build tolerates frequent compression cycles
• Low-maintenance: wipe clean and store dry for longevity

How does the Model 3 fit into a trapper’s workflow?

The setter speeds setup, allowing you to prepare multiple traps faster while maintaining safety and consistency. It’s particularly useful when working in cold conditions or with gloved hands, where manual spring compression is harder and riskier.

• Speeds multi-trap preparation and line setup
• Improves safety for users with gloved or cold hands
• Ideal for use at the bench or in the field
• Works with both bodygrip and longspring trap types

Who is this for: The Funke Trap Tags Model 3 setter is built for trappers, fur buyers, and outdoor professionals who need a dependable, rust-resistant tool to set #110–#160 bodygrip traps and #1–#2 longspring traps. It’s a good fit for people who value a lightweight, durable setter that cuts setup time and enhances safety during repeated trap placements.
