The host then introduces a Conibear-style trap, which he believes is a #110 or #120 trap, and its accompanying metal stand. He demonstrates the careful process of arming the trap by compressing its powerful springs and setting the sensitive trigger mechanism. He highlights the trap's lethality and the importance of extreme caution to avoid accidental injury. He explains that when a muskrat swims through the trap and touches the trigger, the powerful jaws snap shut, instantly dispatching the animal.
