The FB ad doesn't say who. It just says the company is under new ownership. Rumors are they might be made in Georgia soon. Dont ask...I cant say anymore.

I wonder if they are going to change anything. Like making a 5-1/2” offset cast jaw, double longspring that comes stock with an enlarged trap pan
If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

I saw this on the Trapping Only thread and if they keep up the quality I have found in the #4 1/2 and the #11 LS I will be all for it. Those traps are awesome. The #4 LS is a good one too. Held a wolf long enough to have it stolen, but the trap took some serious damage to the point is still functions but is pretty bent up even with bending back into shape. To be expected on a non-laminated #4 size LS though.

Not sure what all the secrecy is about. Why make a vague announcement and not give your customers any details?
Maybe to “get people talking”? But while they are talking they may be buying other brands of traps instead of waiting for the “big secrets” to be revealed. Maybe a handshake deal but haven't signed a contract yet.

So all the traps I bought before they closed aren't going to sky rocket in value and make me rich, this sucks.  Just kiddin and I hope the new owners are as good as the past ones because they were awesome. I will add that I hope the new owners keep them made here in America. There's something incredibly special that happens when you set traps made here by Americans.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

There's something incredibly special that happens when you set traps made here by Americans. Yes sir, and unfortunately there are only a couple companies left that make them here... Not that I’m a super fanatic about it (if they are quality I’ll by foreign) but, I prefer to buy from North America... made and assembled.
