I'll comment about 155's. I bought a dozen from every manufacturer to test. These were used for fisher and marten. I then added 10 dozen Bridgers. After three or four years I sold them all and bought 10 or 12 dozen Belisle's. If I was rat trapping i'd try the Bridger 150s because of the price. For me the NWs are not worth the extra cost. What do you like about the belisles better?

I'm thinking about trapping some fisher and marten again this year and by using the 5 inch conibears or smaller I still have to use the exclusion cages but not the ones with the mazes I was debating going with the belisle 120's or the 155's where I sold all my fisher and marten traps.

Which one do you like better and why?
Thanks. I haven't tried the Northwoods. So I can't really say. But I can tell you I've sold all my #110s and gone strictly with Bridger #150s, and they work just fine. Bonus is, for me anyway, they set right on the KB stabilizer square up making them super for bottom edge sets.

I like the Bridger150's. Work great. Same here, no complaints. I will add that the new springs are strong and some folks complain about the springs eye holes. I’m thinking about giving Victor and Belisle a try, not that it adds to the conversation.

I own a few Bridger 150s. Overall they seem like a good trap. They are a little bigger then a 110 which can be nice when trying to block a slightly bigger run or den hole.
