Any idea how many states this trap will be legal vs illegal in? With the cast jaw can it be inside laminated easily?

I needed to get accurate measurements for you this morning.
Jaw Post to Jaw Post inside 7-1/2"
6-3/4" outside jaw spread
6-1/8" inside jaw spread

Every state is different with jaw spread regulations and how to measure.

It's legal here same inside jaw spread as a bridger 3.
I like having options and a round jaw traps.

They dropped the ball on this one. You would think they would want it legal in as many states as reasonably possible. Just that 1/8 on the inside spread is knocking them out of several states.

My hope is they release a "600" in the next few years that falls between the 550 and 650., say the size of the duke #3 . I ask Bill for this in an email, if enough guy ask for it, we might see it. And I was ready to drop coin on a dozen 650's , but the state of Indiana knows best. mad

I like the jawspread on this current 650 but realize it won't work for a lot of States.They do have the 550 size.Maybe they think they have it covered?You fellows for whom the 650 won't meet your restrictions,will the 550 not work for you?.

You can take a 1/16 th lamination put them one each side and get them to the 6 inch inside measurement. I know a guy that runs # 4 s in Alabama. Their laminated Monster traps.

All our regs say are 5.75” jaw to jaw. Don’t know if that’s outside or inside. I guessed out side and went with 550’s to be safe.

I talked to Bill today It sounds like the retail price will be about $185.00 per doz.

He also said this on the 650 size thing. It's hard to keep everyone happy.

The 750 Is in the design stages and maybe 2 years out. If I remember right there will be a offset jaw option.

Good deal. I hope they do a bunch or research on the holding power of beaver and otter if the Duke 750 is of the same design as their 550 and 650 with wide smooth jaws. A toothed option could be awesome! Many states allow toothed traps for beaver under water. They are legal here in Iowa.
