I've got two of the 110 sized round bg. And I can't say they work any better than square bg, but they did catch rats/mink. They do blend in pretty good on dry trail sets though. Strong little buggers.

WCS has the 2.5" model for $11.75 and the 3.5 for $11.95.
I have the 3.5" and the trigger pressure is so high I don't think a mink could set it off. I haven't tried lowering it yet.

WISH I HAD MORE TIME TO TRAP!

Brad would you slightly round out the trigger notch to lighten the pressure?

I’ve got one in the 110 size made by Seldom. It too has a stiff trigger and I have not tried to adjust it. I set it at the end of this season in a 24” double wall tile ( smooth on the inside ) along with a 160 on the other end. I covered the tile with long grass, put dirt and other debris in the bottom of the pipe and canned cat food for bait. I caught a double on opossum the first night and a big sow coon a couple of nights later. The coon and the opossum were both caught right behind the ears with very little disturbance at the set .
It’s only fair to mention that I did have a miss with this trap on the last day of season. The cable was pulled all the way out ( 4’ ) and from all appearances had a large coon pull out ! Thanks for the report, Golf. These round traps are intriguing. The high retail cost is a deterrent. The pull-out is interesting, too, because usually when coon get a leg caught in a conibear style trap, they are held there. Probably due to those straight jaws across the leg. The round jaws would give the animal some freedom to torque and bend its leg, and eventually slide it around. Hmmmmmmm

Don't do much mink trapping but did set a RBG 160 on a mink trail and got this buck mink a couple weeks ago  I have 5 differnt sizes from 2.5 " to a big 440 size. I bought them for ADC work. The 160 And 22o size are killer in woodchuck den holes, paid for all my RBGs with one woodchuck job in less than a week I really like them There was a thread a month or so ago about a new guy making them now
Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!
If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

I used the 160 size when trapping coon In trails. Worked as good or better then the 160 square type.
They just blend In so much better then the square ones. There Is nothing In nature that Is square.
The only problem Is you have to chase the springs around.
If you have a stiff trigger issue just use a wax carpenters pencil on the trigger system. Or If your careful you can start the trigger. When you do this the trigger will hang a bit loose and will give when a critter pushes against It. And of coarse It will go off with less pressure.

I know Nick he and his father make them there at his feed and outdoor store in Holland In.
I was there this fall and saw them working on them.
