Favorite traps are probably liking asking what's your favorite truck. Everyone has a different opinion. Thought I'd ask you experienced guys what trap you like best. And why is it your favorite?

I'm a relative newbie and need to buy some more traps this year and your feedback would be helpful.

What kind of soil makeup in your area should be taken into account.I like longsprings but we have a lot of sand up here,if I lined somewhere with a lot of clay or heavy dirt I'd feel different.Having said that I like a no.4 longspring modified as in laminated,offset and base plated.

You will get every kind of trap that has ever caught a coyote and every trap that might be able to catch a coyote mentioned on this thread.

New production i like #4 bridger offset longsprings
Old traps #3 longsprings in newhouse, victor 3N, and victor offset

I have been using the Northwoods #3 laminated or Bridger #3 laminated.

I am fond of Sterling 600s, but don't use them in high theft areas as they are pricey . When a yote steps on the pan, he is waiting when I get there. They are also easy to get bedded solid, they almost bed themselves. They aren't exactly a cheap starter trap, but they are a one time purchase trap. I know folks that have been using the same traps hard since the 70s, and still going strong.

KO K9 Extreme, and jakes. I've used pretty much all #3 long springs made and most coil springs made from 1.5 to a 3. The extremes and the jakes fit my set up the best, plus they work great with very little maintenance, and that's what I want.

Favorite yote trap? I guess it would be,the one he steps in. Because they all catch yotes. Lol. But seriously, find what fit's you're trapping style and weather and soil. Buy what you will,but remember,practice, practice, practice. Jmo

Bridger #2 and mb550

Extremes, JR's and MB550.

Fully modified dogless #3 Bridger.

Never tried those endanger species Sterlings but love those Jakes.

It hasn't been made yet.

I stopped looking and testing once I started using the 650Cs

No bs k9 extreme jr. We can't use the bigger one here but they would also be a good option if non targets weren't a problem.

We can use the bigger ones here, just have to inside laminate

I am liking the Victor Montgomery series myself. I have #2 and #4 2coiled offset traps. I like the simplicity and that they are nice and light, and bed nicely...also, I like a round jawed trap .

X2 LOL

Oh yes, it very well may have, Gary. And after you're all done testing, I can't wait to hear your results, and opinions. wink, wink

Cool, liking what i'm reading between the lines here. Waiting list?
