    I saw a mate make one with a bucket of water, a piece of stick and an old wine bottle. The wine bottle is taped to the bucket so that the side of the bottle is on the edge fof the bucket and the neck is over the centre of the bucket. The stick runs from the bottom of the bottle to the ground. Then the handle is taped so it sits with the top of the handle is a few inches above the neck of the wine bottle. Tape the bait to the handle. Critter walks up stick out onto the neck of the bottle. When it stretches up to reach the bait it slips on the glass like a greased glass diving board and when it is unable to get any traction on the glass, it falls into the water and drowns. Similar idea to the Fat and water one above but without the fat.

    Effectively self reloading.
