"tune it" he says, that mole couldn't have got anymore through that trap if it'd had wanted to. Bad back end catch that.

Yes. you're right. I had experimented on a couple of traps by squeezing the trigger loop narrower enabling it to be positioned further forward. But it actually allowed some of them to get too far forward by presumably going trying to go around the side of the trigger. They are back to normal now.

Terrible catch !

Try bending the triggers towards the end of the traps and pushing the kill loops further into the soil . Should stop bad back end catches

That's what I did. When the traps came I adjusted two of the three traps to bring their trigger loops further forward. As you can see, on this occassion it did not have the desired outcome. The new traps I got are better designed.

That was a bad foul back end catch, that mole would have suffered and taken a time to die. The duffus needs to a lot more tweaking that what you have done.
