The Improved Noose Style B.C. Trap, each designed and individually handmade by John Graham, are made from ½ inch hardware cloth and salt-water leader line. The salt-water leader line material, made of braided steel line and monofilament coating, used for its durability and tensile strength, will not break when your bird is caught. The improved nooses last longer and require less maintenance than the older and more common monofilament nooses. They will not age and become brittle, that occurs too often, resulting in lost chances when trapping your next bird of prey. The yearly maintenance required when using the monofilament line will be a thing of the past. Gerbils and other bait cannot chew through the improved nooses, thus, eliminating the need of a second cage, again decreasing the likelihood of a lost bird. Trapping trips become fun again, more birds caught with more regularity, saving you money and time and less frustration.

To date, there has not been a single report of a bird ever being hurt from this Improved Noose Style B.C. The Improved Noose Style B.C. is a very effective way of trapping your passage birds for falconry.
