Can't help ya here. Its illegal to free a live coyote from a trap. Im interested in where this goes. I didn't know there was a live market for coyotes.
You may think before you act. The question is did you listen to your own council?

I just got done trapping a bunch of coyotes for a DNR study and I used # 2 Dukes and had no injury issues. I will Pm you the contact # of the individual that ran the study.

Paw damage has alot of factors IMO, the coyote for one, some lay there some are doing cartwheels before they even see you. Inline springs will help, method of securing the traps ie drags, stakes, anchors. Ive had the same trap chew into a paw on one and no visible sign on others. Ive never used rubber jaw traps but i would tend to agree with you that you would have to carry lots of spare pads, i like offset jaw traps personally and dont get much or any damage depending on situation.

Are live catch snares a option also?? No paw damage there for sure.

Bob (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) has a dvd on live market coyotes. He used victor#3 rubber jaw with helper springs. he said the only damage to the rubber jaws were by big coon.

I've used the stock 550 2 coil OS model and they are very good. Nothing is foolproof and they aren't either. As a former researcher who's done post-mortem necropsies on coyotes including their paws, I know that rubber jaw traps need to be checked quick as the rubber seems to cut off circulation resulting in resultant tissue death. There's no mark on the outside of the paw but the tissue, once exposed, shows lack of oxygen = it'll wither and die over coming days. If you run rubber jaws, better get to the critter quick.
I also short tether with stock chain with the crunch proof swivel at ground level so there's less chance for massive flipping and running around at the set.

I wouldn't say that there is a "perfect trap" for live market. I personally run Bridger #3 FM Dogless and still get cuts from time to time. To remedy I rolled the inside jaw edges and installed in-line springs. I tend to think that a shorter chain and the more swivel points the better. I am also preferring drags over chain stakes anyway so you actually get the "give" when they wrap up.
There is also a school of thought out there that actually closed-jaw traps (like the MB-550 2 coiled) are best for live market, as all traps are not "offset" with a full pad catch on a coyote. Makes sense to me. I am actually excited to see and use the new Duke 650s, as I prefer a #3 size trap vs. a #2. Of course you would need to grind off the offset lugs, as they can lacerate a coyotes foot if caught wrong.
