Southern Snares and Supply Body-Grip Safety Pin — Yellow U.S.-Made Conibear Trap Safety with Floating Lanyard

The Southern Snares and Supply Body Grip Safety Pin is a U.S.-made device that mounts to any size body-grip (Conibear) trap to hold the jaws open and keep your hands out of the strike zone.

This safety pin is built for trappers who want a simple, durable way to set and transport body-grip traps without risking pinches or crushing injuries. Manufactured in the United States, the unit fastens on top of the trap jaws and includes a buoyant green nylon lanyard and nickel-plated ring so you can secure it to a basket, belt loop, or other gear. A bright powder-coated yellow finish resists chipping and corrosion, helping you find the safety pin quickly in low light or water.

How does the safety pin keep my hands safe when setting traps?

When placed over the jaws, the safety pin physically blocks the striking path so the trap cannot snap shut on a hand or tool. This gives you a stable hold while positioning the trap or attaching bait and activators. Because it mounts externally, you avoid putting fingers near the trigger or springs.

• Fits any size body-grip trap by attaching across the jaw faces
• Prevents accidental closure while you work on the trap
• External mounting keeps fingers away from the trigger area

What materials and features make it reliable in the field?

The safety pin is powder-coated bright yellow to resist wear and prevent flaking that leads to rust. It comes with a green nylon rope that floats if dropped into water, and a nickel-plated retention ring so you can clip it to gear. These choices prioritize longevity and ease of retrieval in wet or rugged conditions.

• Durable powder-coat finish prevents chipping and corrosion
• Floating nylon lanyard reduces losses in water settings
• Nickel-plated ring for secure attachment to baskets or belts

Will it fit my trap model and how easy is it to use?

The design is universal for standard body-grip (Conibear-style) traps and works across sizes by sitting on top of the open jaws. Usage requires only a quick placement before setting and an equally simple removal before deployment. That straightforward action saves time and reduces the chance of mistakes during trap handling.

• Universal fit for common body-grip trap sizes
• Quick on/off operation for fast setting and transport
• Works with existing trapping workflows without modification

Who is this for: The Southern Snares and Supply Body Grip Safety Pin is intended for professional and recreational trappers who use body-grip (Conibear) traps and want a low-cost, robust way to reduce handling risk. It’s suited for waterside and upland work where gear can get wet or be dropped, and for anyone who values visible, corrosion-resistant safety tools that attach to a trap basket, belt, or pack. Because it’s made in the U.S., it appeals to buyers looking for domestically manufactured trapping accessories that emphasize durability and practical features for field use.
