The No. 214WA110 KAHLSICO MUD SNAPPER is a foot-trip model, capable of fitting through a 15 cm (6") diameter ice-hole, and fabricated from sturdy bronze and stainless steel materials to assure long-time, trouble-free service.

The Snapper has a long threaded post with a strong compression spring surrounding it which presses against the jaws at one end and is seated inside a cap at its upper end. By turning the threaded cap, spring-tension adjustment is effected on the closing jaws which are easily cocked open by the attached foot-trip assembly. The post may be fastened to a long, hand-held rod for shallow-water use, to a sounding weight for intermediate-water sampling or to a lowering line for free-fall to the bed of a lake, estuary, reservoir, etc. Upon impact with the bottom, the foot-trip is pushed up, disengaging the pivoted locking arm and allowing the spring-tensioned, hinged jaws to snap shut.
