I like the pan a slight bit better than the 750. If money were a limiting factor, I'd use the bridger 5 coils. All closed jaw, of course. This. The CDR is the holdingest beaver trap made. Close jawed, no mods. "Those who hammer their guns into plowshares will plow for those who do not."

I started with B&L #4 double longs 40 years ago and I've never had any issues that made me want to use anything else. It's just my preference and I'm sure you'd be well served with any well made trap of the propper size, but a big double long spring is my idea of the "best" all around beaver trap. I'd hate to have to do without my 330's too. Bob ~ AKA The Skunk Whisperer

After all the answers I have gotten I plan to buy a half dozen of the Montana #5s The Bridger coil #5s The KO beaver extremes And possibly some of the Bridger #5DLS just to satisfy my curiosity.
