Thanks for the replies. For Father’s Day I’m getting a dozen Duke 155 . Legal on land in NY. Also 4 oz. of Mark June Coon Candy I believe.

160s are legal on land in NY, just blind sets no bait. The 155s can be used with bait. I have 160 Dukes and they work great. They're easier to set than Bridgers and I've never had a coon alive in them. Have Bridger 155s and they are such pain to set, because of the small eyes on the spring. I had to grind down some of the humps on the jaws and had to grind down the ends on my setters to get them to go in the spring eyes. I never had to do any of that to the dukes. I do like the Bridger coil spring traps just not the body grippers.

I run mosty duke 160s on coons. I have paid for them over and over. I have some 8 yrs+ still strong. I do have a few duke 330s have weak springs . They are the first 330s I ever got. I ordered new springs they will be like new this season. I will be getting a dz of belisle to tryout too before season. For the money dukes will do the job.

Just played with the new 155 Dukes. I have an RTS setter and did have to file the setter. Looks good so far.
