Fish Trap Pro traplink question

[bucketOsticks]

What other clam shelters can the Fish trap pro connect with via the traplink system?

[jigging-matt]

I have a Voyeager and I was told by clam that I can connect with a yukon as long as I use a voyeager traplink. I would think as long as you use the link for the bigger of the houses you wish to link to you will be okay. I'm sure that more people will be able to provide more details than I was able to. You can also e-mail clam and ask them. Have always had great customer service. Hope this helps.

You should be able to link to a guide if you use the Guide size traplink. The sled height and roof height of a Yukon or Voyager make that trap link impossible without a custom sewn link. You can do the Yukon to a Voy though. It's just too far of a size difference to go Pro to Yukon.

The zippers are the same, but the physical size of the different links is where the problem comes in. You can always link from a larger to a smaller unit, but you will excess zipper and a wrinkle in the link. If you go smaller to larger, you won't have enough material and will end up with a hole where the wind and cold can get in.

I tried to link a Votager to a Guide and its a no go for 2 reasons.

1. The height difference and lack of material will not allow the zipper to be closed unless you elevate the guide.

2. Using the Voyager link, when attached to the Guide you have 6" or so of slack in the zipper.

I sent an email to clam re this. See below.

Is it at all possible to link a Guide to a Voyager?

I have a Voyager and my son just bought a Guide, we tried to use a Voyager link to hook them up on displays at cabellas but

found 2 issues.

1 the guide sat to low so a link with more material would be needed to compensate.

2 the opening on the Voyager is bigger so there was roughly 6 inches of extra material when zipped.

Do you make any special link?

Would it be possible to use 2 links?

Thanks,

The height of the tubs will unfortunately cause them not to match up perfectly and the size of the TrapLink holes on each unit is different. There is no special link available at this time. With 2 links, I think you will run into the same problem and I’m not sure the zippers will match-up.

You make a good point and it’s something I will pass along to engineering and R&D as we develop next year’s products.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help.

I will be looking into making my own link..

So far I know I can link to a Guide (maybe) and for sure another Pro, but a Guide sized link would be needed to get it to work with a Pro. Anyone disagree with this?

You can only hook a pro to another pro. This is the only house that dosn't hook to a different model. I'm sure if someone was good with sewing maching they could easily come up with an adapter.
