For those useing rr tie plates you can weld a couple of rr spikes in them to dig into the bottom, it takes a lot to drag them then.

Well since this post got dug up, I might as well tell you all the results of my setting at that location. I got 1 coon, a 17 pound boar and he didn't move the weights, went right down and was DOA upon my checking. I had used 2 rr plates and 1 brick wired together. The nearby set I never caught anything, had a cement block weight. I never caught anything else there either, though a mink and a muskrat did walk by on the opposite bank. Had been a good coon location a few years before when my friend Larry had set there. I think he got 3-4 in a week or something and the guy is sucky at trapping. I have to talk to him about setting downstream some, I need to ask him where the property line is and make sure the old man landowner who lives across from there has been told of me, as I will be more visible downstream if he looks outside. Larry did say he mentioned it last year and I never had anyone come out last season and ask me who I was. The land is part of the lease land for the farmer and Larry has the "trapping lease" and was subletting it to me as he has no time to fur trap. Anyway, downstream another stream enters the bigger one, this would be a better set location.
