I was thinking of buying some bodygrip 110s but I was wondering whether I should get Duke or Bridger. I’ve seen mixed reviews about both. Any opinions?

I think either one would be just fine.

New trapper. Both 110's are a little bit different from each other but both catch animals well. The dukes have slightly larger eye holes on the springs than the bridgers. Looking at 110's though this isn't much of anything. Both have been on many a trap line over the years and have caught a lot of animals. Getting and keeping the triggers working properly is likely the number one issue with running bodygrips especially for new trappers. The archives here have great tutorials on how to set them up. Grab a file and get em ready. Any questions post them up here.

150 Bridger hands down. It's basically a 110 but just a touch bigger.

I’ve used both, and for 110s, I don’t think it makes too much of a difference. They kill muskrat and mink just fine. For larger conibears, I prefer bridgers.

Any of the 110 size traps are just fine. I own & use all brands. Don't forget to stabilize them with small sticks at sets. Don't want them to fall over until a catch is made


Till that day.....
