Deadfall Trap Pack For Sell
premium quality
Price Only $99

Description :
The PDF-4 stands for Deadfall Figure - 4. It mimics the traditional figure four trap trigger system carved out with sticks. This Deadfall Trap is a one-piece design, and it collapses down for easy storage. The PDF-4 Deadfall Trap can easily be set with one hand holding the trap trigger, and the other holding up the deadfall. The traditional carved figure four trap method works very well and is time tested, but can be time-consuming and difficult to set.

This PDF-4 Deadfall Trap is made with a combination of 6000 series aluminum, and the pivot points are put together with aircraft-type rivets. The traps are also anodized with a Type III harden finished. A lot of effort was made to keep these traps light, compact, and durable.

The DF-4 traps system comes with:

OUT OF LUCK

While out bird hunting, our buddy Chase M. caught wind of a nasty smell—and followed his nose to a wild discovery.

Pinned under an aspen tree was a bull elk, already long gone. How it happened? We may never know.

Chase called Fish & Game, who investigated the scene and eventually gave him the green light to take the bull home.

What do you think went down? 💬

🪝 Overview of the Items

1. Materials Used

Bone (likely whale, bird, or fish bone)

Shell (pearl shell, turtle shell)

Wood (often dense and polished)

Fiber Cordage (sennit or coconut husk fibers)

Ivory or tusk (from marine mammals)

Decorative items (beads, seeds, or cloth fibers)

---

2. Types of Hooks and Implements

Fishing Hooks

Many of the pieces feature curved barbless hooks, typical of Polynesian craftsmanship.

Designed for trolling or bottom fishing, these hooks work through unique shapes rather than barbs.

Some hooks are composite: made by lashing together a bone point and a shell or wood shank.

Lures & Line Equipment

The middle shows a lure shank with a cord-wrapped shank, used for deep-sea fishing (e.g., for tuna or mahimahi).

The large coiled cord bundle may be hand-twisted sennit, used as fishing line or to bind parts.

Multipurpose Tools

The upper right features a tool with a large oval ring, possibly used for hauling or ceremonial purposes.

Several implements are designed with toggle or anchor-like shapes, showing ingenuity in hook retention and release.

---

3. Cultural and Functional Significance

These tools reflect intimate ecological knowledge: each hook design is tailored to a specific fish species and fishing technique.

Hook construction often followed ritual protocols, and some were passed down as heirlooms.

Adornment with beads, carved figures, or religious symbols (e.g., the crosses) suggests a spiritual or status-related role as well.

🌊 Broader Context

Oceanic fishing was not just survival—it was identity, economy, and art.

These hooks exemplify a balance of form and function, showing how island cultures developed sophisticated technology with limited materials.

Some of these artifacts are now housed in museums or private collections, preserving heritage and promoting indigenous knowledge systems.
