These are what I use. The price is nice. The trigger is decent quality, wires are long enough for different configurations. I tighten up the bracket the trigger wires are held by on new ones as there can be play side to side. The dog generally requires only a little filing to tune to a light trip, depending on your finish too. Spring eyes are small and rarely go around the corner. Safeties are long enough that when the critter is crowded to one side of the trap you don't have to compress the spring all that far to engage the safety. Springs aren't crazy strong, which I consider a plus. I like having just one make of trap of a size to deal with.

I bought some for this past fall season and had them set out. I can't remember if I caught anything in a box with a Bridger or not. Regardless, I found them to be a strong, well built trap for the price. I also like the solid riveted trigger for installing coni pans. Well worth the money, and I will be buying another dozen for this fall.

I had some years ago but got rid of them because the small spring eyes made them a pain to set and fighting traps out there is not what I like to do.


you can vote your way into socialism, but you will have to shoot your way out.

These are one of the traps we use. They fit our smaller boxes. They're good. Easy to set. We did have an instance where the hook caught the box when it sprung once. We also use Belisle body grips, and holy (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) they can be a (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) to set. But the hooks don't swing about like the bridgers.
