The kind of fumbling that'll get you bit if you dont get it lined up just so. Understandable concept to go for a full closure and hold but everyone else done figured out how to bend the jaws to accomplish the same thing.

I bought some 160s and instantly had to put Belisle triggers on them because they had way too much play. I also had the spring eye problem multiple times and it was near impossible to get it back to normal. The only thing I don't like about the Dukes and I don't know if it's only on the 110s or not. But I do not like how the Duke's jaws can open up a little bit when set off and the ones I had were at least a 1/2" gap. I've said this before. Your not trapping cigarette papers.

The spring eyes are too small, makes setting them a pain, and I've had misses with them because the small spring eyes hung up where the frame was welded together, so the traps in question "fired" but the bars never closed. So I'd stick to Duke
