Crawfish Trappah trapper C Joined: Mar 2016 Louisiana	I have the Extremes....I can't think of a negative about them other than they can sort of "stick" on lock up which can make them hard to get off a live market coyote which is what I do. They are also tough on grey fox but what trap is not? All of the other things above are accurate. I mean you can say they are expensive and I guess in comparison they are but when you hold one and get to looking at them I don't see they sell them for what they are priced. Very heavy frame, music wire springs, bolt spring pins and bolt jaw tips, huge low sitting dogless pan, laminated, painted and heavy chain and MB swivels. I may order some JRs next.

Beav, you are looking at the 1 1/2 size trap, not the Extreme or Extreme Jr. Kendall's website clearly shows that the Extremes are Made in the USA.

yukonal trapper Y Joined: Dec 2014 MN	Originally Posted By: trappergbus I've got both the extremes and juniors, both stout traps. The extremes mud up in some soil types, lost one coyote but I think it was toe caught and it twisted out because of the 1/4 inch offset. Could be wrong. The extremes are a great snow trap and if we ever get a wolf season they would be great for midwest wolves. The Juniors fit my style better, 6 inch jaw spread is Ideal for yotes and occasional fox in my mind, but cant get the pan tension below 2.5 even when waxing the contact points. Our red fox here average 8 pounds so if I can't get 2 # pan tension I see tracks on my pans. Love the adjustable dogless design on both. Don't know how they would be on extended checks. Both paw freindly. All mine are 4 coiled and outside lams. The coating on my Extemes are wearing great but not with the Juniors, flaked off in a few spots. For straight coyotes the Juniors fit.. Good write up, Gary! The good, the bad, and the ugly. I need to talk to you a bit more about the jr's. I have a couple thoughts about pan tension I want to throw at you.

Like everything we buy You can have them supply the steel certifications, we do with all steel & components.... All steels have a range of the different composition levels, tensile strength, and elongation, so even if they fall into the specs. they can still act somewhat different when you form them.

His 1.5 is top notch, the levers and pans are thicker than anyone else's and his prices are great on the traps themselves but the shipping sucks but that isn't Kendall's fault.

I will second that. I got a dozen Extremes after talking to Kendall at Minktoberfest last year and I will be ordering more after using them this season.
