There is absolutely no standard when it comes to trap size numbers and actual jaw spread.
Eh...wot?

Though not the first choice of coyote trappers the Victor 1.5 coil has hung onto hundreds of coyotes for me down South since the 1980s. I did got a few traps distorted by mean coyotes but baseplates stopped that.

I know a Duke 1.5 will hold a wolf, so I would guess a victor 1.5 would hold a coyote.
Cold as ice!

A victor 1.5 has a bigger jaw spread 4 7/8 than a bridger 1.75 4 3/4. And the bridger 1.75 should hold a yote so why can’t a victor 1.5 Because the Bridger is a much better built trap. One of my favorite all around traps. Also, the Victor is only that wide in the center, correct, because it's a round jaw. Which actually has more room inside the jaws?
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

To be fair though, I don't think any serious coyote trapper is running 1.5 traps. It's not just about holding, it's about getting a deep hold on that big foot to start with. Just because I can hold a coyote in a coon trap doesn't make it a good choice for coyotes.
