Double spring X-trap 25x25

This 25 cm by 25 cm trap is perfectly suited for fox trapping. It is the largest and most powerful X-trap on sale on our website. It is a robust and efficient trap of very good quality as it is made in Canada by the historical manufacturer of this trap: Belisle.

Its quality justifies its price as many trap sellers sell products made in Asia and of much lower quality. This one guarantees a direct catch and immediate killing of the animal. The other X-traps on sale on Hénon Shop are rather adapted for the trapping of the muskrat, the weasel (and other mustelids) or the coypu.

Triggering the trap :

The X-trap is a trap that is triggered by a small "fork". When the fox passes over the trap, it rubs against the fork and triggers the trap. In order to be more discreet and to guarantee a quick catch, some trappers cover this small fork with chaff or very thin branches. As long as this does not interfere with the release of the trap, it is a good idea. 

Reminder: to set an X-trap and especially a 25x25 trap, it is necessary to use special pliers. The reinforced clamp is perfectly suited for the 25x25.

The use of an X-trap for foxes:

The trap on sale above is perfectly suited for trapping foxes all year round. It is very effective when placed in the mouth of a den. But it can be used under different trapping techniques. If you need more information, but also interesting tips for setting your trap, we advise you to read the book L'incontournable du piégeur by Jean Claude Saulnier. This book is not specific to the X-trap as it talks about trapping in general, but you will find everything you need to know about this trap.

Finally, if you find the X-trap too difficult to use for fox trapping, there are other traps that are also very effective and easy to use. In the fox trap category you will find everything you may need to trap foxes.
