What’s everyone’s favourite 220 for coon and otter? 220’s have to be set in boxes on dry land here. I personally like belisles but always open for a new trap to try.

IMO you have only two options, buy Belisles and have the best or buy whatever other brand you can get the cheapest, because cost is the only downside to Belisles.

I always thought that the victor/duke 220 design was pretty good

Duke is my favorite.Didn't say the strongest or the best but what I like. I wouldn't want to squeeze 100 or so belise or bridgers each day. Dead is dead is my motto.

Belisles are no harder to set than a strong Duke. Plus a lot faster as you don't have to deal with the springs going around the corners, tangled traps with the dog some how through the spring eyes etc...

Love the belisle's. I think they are easier to set than the dukes I have. Plus have tail caught a few beavers with them that a duke would have missed completely.

If trapping an area with a higher possibility of theft go with Duke, less painful money wise.

I just find the belisles bend, now the LDL mags are great. I do put belisles safety’s on them though.

Sauvageau,LDL, or belisle.
Like you said,belisle jaws will bend(loss of clamping force),but belisles are the cheapest trap to buy so you get what you pay for,I guess.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

LDL are my favorite 220. They are the only ones I've used that will kill an armadillo every time.

Belisles and Dukes both have the jaws bend when they make a bigger catch-easy fix-couple hits with the rubber hammer and they are fixed-some of the Dukes spring weaken up pretty quick though i FIND SO i use belisles over the Dukes if I can.The belisles will also catch the "reachers" as well as where the Dukes don'y usually hold those coon.
