Nice meeting Mainedog and like Linguini said these traps are awesome. Missed out on a chance to win one but I plan on adding 2 to my pack before next season. Top quality craftsmanship and some great mods to the original design. Nice hooking up with you on the big lake Bill!
May God bless and keep you always, may your wishes all come true.
May you always do for others and let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung,
May your hands always be busy, may your feet always be swift.
May you have a strong foundation when the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful, may your songs always be sung.
May you stay forever young.

Bill is making nice equipment, well thought out and well made. He's using the heaviest duty hardware I can recall on a tipup.

I own around 40 heritage traps, actually caught just a few fish through 28 years of using them... Modified them greatly yes. Bought a couple FCT just for shizandgiggles,and love the construction. I'll give them their first taste of Embden or Kezar this weekend, not sure which. work em out on Lakers and Salmon simultaneously.

Holy crap! 40 traps and still buying more! Someone is a trap addict lol
Fishing is easy. Catching is the hard part.

They're really nice but talk about sticker shock.

No, thank you Moosehead bunch for another wonderful trip. It was great meeting new friends and old.
I look forward to future trips.

This will probably get yanked, but.....

Bill,

Just placed an order.  Can't wait to see these traps.

I'll put them to the test on some VT lakers next season.

With this order, I'm at 32.

They say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem...

If these traps are as nice as they say, I'll be donating a set or two of my current traps to Ducks Unlimited or the Ruffed Grouse Society as a fundraiser.

business shut down completely, all cash gone to make payroll and creditors, no income and no safety net with sole proprietorship.
But 15 % off , huh...

And yes, I am fishing. Really doubtful for recovery; sand meet head.

My buddy bought a set last fall.  They are beautiful and very well built.  I have Indian Hill traps and while I really like mine, the Forest City traps are much nicer. I keep trying to justify buying a set for myself.

I still caught more fish than he did, but it was the fisherman and not the trap!

That this COVID-19 business has hurt him financially?

In any event, I wish him (and the rest of the IS crew) the best.
