The Father-in-law and I came up with a way to weight the traps up to 25lbs and keep them stackable.. we took a 2x4 and dadoed out a channel in the middle, poured long strips of molten lead, let them cool, knocked them out of the mould and cut them to length. Lastly we formed them around the base of the trap and attached them with heavy duty zip-ties. They have been going strong for 5+ years. With such heavy perimeter weighting the traps are incredibly accurate on the drop, land properly on the bottom, and fish amazing as they don’t move whatsoever being 25lbs. They were actually over 30lbs to start so we placed two strips of lead on opposite sides of the trap.
