The 1.75 and the #2 Vic are better stop loss traps. But The rat knew I would comment on this thread.

I sold all the ones I had. For open water rat trapping, I preferred a #1 Victor with a railroad spike attached to the base of the trap. Quick drowning rig.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

I have had "old style" Blake and Lambs. They always seem to me to be a better version than the Victor.
They didn't rely on the jaws going off first and releasing the spring at the same time.
The safety bar under the end worked well when the rat would start to move and the stoploss spring would trip off.
Thus pinning the rat and not letting it wring off!

Not sure about the new ones but I used to have some old chas.briddle? Jump traps that the rat gard only employed when the vermin pulled on the chain. Don't know if anyone makes anything like that now but it was a good system.

Wouldn't be without my stop loss traps.Love how they work--and they work well for me. Beav can haul all the #2s around he wants--give me a #1 stoploss.Victor,Duke,Bridger ,Blake and Lamb,Northwoods-I have them all and use them with confidence-have also held hundreds of incidental coon and beaver in them-the largest beaver was 53 pounds and numberless coon over 30 pounds. Only one I have never tried is the sleepy creek. Tom

I've used them for years inside huts. They work great, especially if you don't mind dealing with a live rat.
