.... I have quite a few 550’s... they’re a thick solid trap... but I’ll grab a bridger 2 dogless first... that is the flattest...easiest bedding trap I’ve ever used... almost don’t even need to dig a bed in soft ground... just twist it in
... and I have no problem with letting sorry stinkin coyotes wear the burs off lol Folk like you are the reason antis have got so many restrictions put on us. That attitude right there. ... go on and wire some maxi pads to your trap jaws ....and then ask the antis if they like you now ...and are going to let you keep trapping lol ... sissy
Insert profound nonsense here

I do not trap a ton of coyotes but do catch some every year and I use MB 550s along with some other traps. I have NEVER had to readjust/repair anything on a MB 550s after catches.

I have some mb 650s with offset cast jaws, theyre a nice quality trap. Stuff made in North America is worth the few extra bucks. I have some bridgers and dislike them. Last time I checked Taiwan wasn’t in North America, however, they are quality traps. I said I have some bridges and dislike them. But they were a gift lol so what can you do. I know they're made in Taiwan and I personally wouldn't buy them. But whatever lifts yer skirt.

I've been quietly and not so quietly promoting the MB 550 OS since they came out all these many years ago. It's all I use and I haven't ever used a shock spring with the short chain set up. More to bed, taking longer, and you don't need them.
Wisdom from a Biblical narrative = realizing you don't know everything. That's opposite the modern-day definition which may well be: Whatever you know about, I know more than that.
Blessings, Mark How many inches of chain do you use. I have been thinking about taking the shock springs off mine.
