The flower pot holds the 120 in place. When the trap fires it swings free. A stack of 50 pots is less than $30 on amazon, and about 3' tall. Super easy and fast.

Wonder if there's a flower pot size appropriate for a body grip for a coon?

Caught it in a mink set which is unusual, haven't caught many using fish for bait.

Most suppliers list the 160s as the smallest recommended for raccoons.

Most suppliers list the 160s as the smallest recommended for raccoons. 160's work ok on coons. A lot of states have maximum sizes you can set on land. A quick search on google and it looks like your max size for body grippers on land is 7.5", which allows you to use 220's.
