I’m law bound to use rubber jaws on land here and during the cold months the mb550s and the Vic 3s seem to work just fine for me as well. As far as the bridger 1.65 rubber jawed traps, I agree the pan is small and flimsy. A quick cure that worked for the cats I caught in those traps, was using a #2 bridger pan on them. I since switched most of them to the sterling pans on the 1.65s and both work very well. Those traps (1.65s) I run those all 4 coiled. The others, MB’s, Vic’s, so on, 80+% are 2 coiled with plenty holding power.
Side note, I find the mb springs are superior

Rubber jaw are great if temp stays above 30 degrees if it falls below your done. Best all around trap is a regular jaw450

Not slight offset I think..not sure . 4 coiled with 1 1/2 ..4 coil springs.
I have not seen any difference using either regular soft jaws or slight offset..I have both.

Thanks for your help. Do you take the springs off and replace them with the springs from a 1 1/2 trap? Not slight offset I think..not sure . 4 coiled with 1 1/2 ..4 coil springs.

He still used the #3 Victor soft jaws for a reason. Wonder why ? He could’ve used other traps there are reasons he didn’t.

I'm not disagreeing with you on that. Couple reasons...
Cheap, easy to tune or repair, larger jaw spread, good quality rubber. Want me to call and ask him when he gets back from his trip?
