How is the Bridger 155 in comparison? Is the Bridger the same size. Adds say they are both 5 X 5. Are the Bridger springs as strong. The CTM is a square trap. The Bridger is indented on the top and bottom, would this make the trap appear smaller to coon and make them hesitate to put their head in the trap. There is a really big difference in cost. Is the extra cost worth it. Thanks

A big coon would be hard pressed to get its head in a 5x5. Last edited by imissed; 12/12/18 04:13 PM. WISH I HAD MORE TIME TO TRAP!
