I'd say add a swivel and keep the chain short. Now that I have some traps without I can't stand bedding the ones with the springs. How many coyotes did you catch? Cheaper made traps, unless modified can be dismantled by a coyote pretty quick. I have caught and held coyotes in Duke 1 1/2's and I have caught and lost coyotes in Victor 1 3/4's that were not modified in some way. I've never had a problem with Jake Traps with or without shock springs installed.

I put some on mt Bridger 2's that I used for fishers this year. My heart belongs to my family. My body belongs to my work. My soul belongs to the woods.

Wide face = less cutting & Strong springs = Less foot sliding = less cutting. Shock springs help prevent shoulder injury during lunges. They also lessen the chance of your staking system being dislodged by stronger critters like coyotes. Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service

I have no evidence they hurt or help,BUT I know for sure they help when I’m talking to landowners about permission. I usually bring one of my full mod traps with me to show and explain exactly what swamp wolf was saying about jaw thickness and edges etc.
