What is everybody favorite trap to attach to a drag? I've never trapped with drags before. Wondering what the normal damage is like after a trap has been dragged through the woods, etc? I plan on using these Sleepy Creek Number 2's come this fall. Just pulled the chain and added PIT dogs, swivels, shock springs and better chain.

Wow that is an absolutely beautiful set up right there. Are you using those for yotes and cats. I may have to rethink selling my number 2 longs. I have thought about doing something like that and running my #2 longs on drags but this has made up my mind.
Now to answer your question. I use whatever I've got right then but longsprings seem to do really well with a drag. Also there should not be any more damage to a trap on a drag than on a stake. If so I'd say you should think about getting better traps. What you have there should be fine after catching a yote on a drag.

If trapping yotes, go bigger. #3 DLS or 4's.

Stop shock closer to trap. Only thing I would change.

Thank you! I enjoy tinkering and modifying. Our land has a gravel road that cuts though about 3/4 of the 100 acres. It was a pain to stake so I decided to give drags a try mostly for coyotes! I would love to catch a Cat. I added the PIT dogs to help prevent bending.

In NY we are limited to a 5 9/16 jaw spread, Most 3 & 4s are 5 13/16 or bigger, so I had to go with the number 2s (Nearly Same spread as a MB550)

I think you should be asking what drag to attach to a trap. Your #2's will be just fine, don't fall for the "ya gotta have a huge trap" bs. PM Jabne, that good ole boy traps with #2 longs and has a great set up. Good luck.

If thats the case you might want to go with the MB 550 and not the #2 DLS.

I have few MB550s and use mostly Bridger Number 2 dog less and NO BS K9 Extreme. These number 2s are my "drag traps" I like them because we have a lot of red fox.

Thank you!

Listen to this man. He knows what he's sayin'.

I agree.

I'm a bigger trap guy when it comes to coyotes and there's a reason for it

No problem thank you for giving me an idea of what I want to do to my #2s and #11s
