Here are the three version of the trap I have. Vic low lever with jaws outside the frame, B&L jaws inside and Vic high lever jaws inside. All three have the same frame and thin jaws.

JT does that trap have professional on the pan ?

I don't trust those traps on any critters bigger then a rat or mink single or double coiled! They aren't heavy enough to add stronger springs!

Those Vics with the outside jaws and low levers are a 1 3/4 frame and can be converted with 1 3/4 jaws and levers to a usable trap, however not one really worth the cost of parts. They aren't likely to hold an otter as is, they can be used for mink. I've never used the others, but I won't argue with Tony's summation.
If I was looking for otter the #11 would be my choice, I once spent a couple hours talking with a feller that traps a lot of otter in the Ar. delta every year and he convinced me that the #11 was the best otter foot hold trap, specifically the Sleepy Creek #11 was his recommendation.

Not that I can see.

I know the #11 holds like a vise but they have such a small jaw spread. If I was a better trapper maybe... Plus they are pretty pricy compared to say a duke 1.75 coil.

With a drowning set-up I wouldn't be afraid to use them. I see your picture of the 3 traps lined up- I had at one time, #2 Victor high levers that actually went up higher (to the very corner of the jaw bends). They were factory and I haven't seen any like that since. Sure, there are better traps, but if that's all ya got.....
