I'd probably go round, for the sake of mass.

Too much weight will slow them down some. 1/8" rod will work also.

I use 1/4 flat on all mine. Plenty fast enough. Never had any problems.

Are you required to laminate or are you trapping for the live market? If not then don't bother just set them and catch coyotes.

I have laminated a bunch of coyote traps and also have a bunch that aren't laminated. I have no requirements either way and they all catch coyotes equally well.

Good advise. ' If It's not a legal issue don't do It.
