Those square pan stoploss with the wire dog on the front of the trap were nowhere as good as todays round pan stoploss with a regular jaw. Many of the square pans when set--the pan would not set flat. I am not sure if there was a round pan before the square pan,but over the years there were several stoploss versions. Tom

Hippie, I can't believe you never saw one. I don't go to many public sales but I have seen them at public sales several times. You also see them at about any convention in the tailgating section. I agree with Bogmaster, I never liked them because many times the pan was way too high when the trap is set.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

While the stop loss is my favorite muskrat trap,the square pan sure isn't. LOL that might be the reason the Duke stop loss doesn't have a square pan and wire dog. Tom

My favorite muskrat trap. I'll second that motion. Besides they don't chew up your waders when setting them over your knees. And if you ever lost that wire trigger, it is easy to make one out of bicycle spokes in the marsh and you were good to go back at er.

LOL,I never had a bike in the marsh,so spokes were never a replacement option. Tom

I used to have several of those old wire dog stop-loss. I loved them when I started using them back in the day. I still have a couple of them in my man room collection. It was over 50 years when I first set them.
