Ray, I am with Mark and Scott. For the critters you mentioned, imo, you want the pan to barely fall on its own. Rick.

I agree with the others. If youre wanting to include mink/muskrat into the equation, you dont want any tension. Otherwise, youll have rats and mink dancing all over your pans...lol

I'll be different For the mink,rats and coon in a water set I like zero pan tension. For the fox I like 2lbs and you will also pickup pretty much any coon that happens to work the set also. I'm guessing you're not making water sets for the fox.

I'm guessing you're not making water sets for the fox. ditto. except im probably closer to 1.5lbs for fox and dry land coon. But he said one tension for all of the above, which would have to be zero if he is including mink and rats IMO.

X2, my pan tension on the dry land sets for fox/coon is prolly around 1.5 lbs. if you let the pan free fall for fox youll "pinch" alot more and have more pull outs i learned that the hard way. IMO rats/mink/coon let the pan free fall
