Sleepy creek #3s are about what everyone seems to like as far as something you can currently buy and use without a lot of mods.

Yep, offset jaws here in arkansas. You can get the #4 bridger longspring offset as well.
3n's are my favorite.

I thought sleepy creeks weren't made anymore?

Bridger #4s are good. I really like Victor #4s, if you can find some. They don’t make em anymore but I’ve got some that are older than me that are still holding coyotes as good as brand new coil springs. Really any brand #3 or 4 longspring is a good coyote trap, especially with laminated jaws, bubbled jaw tips and a baseplate. I would also beef up the dog by welding a rod to it, a particularly nasty coyote will chew up a standard dog like bubblegum. I actually prefer longsprings in soft soil that isn’t frozen, they bed so easy it’s almost cheating.

Southern snares bought all their tooling and little birdies said their gonna have some nice stuff in 2021.

You can also by decent quality victor 3's and it's not too much to modify them if your a decent welder
