And one in a MB750, he didnt make it down the rod so he was unhappily waiting on the bank for us.

You must have arms the size of Popeyes. I cant budge the levers by hand, and the levers barely move if i stand on them. You cant go wrong with either trap, but for me I need setters for both of them.


It's all about technique. I've seen a picture of QBD. He's not a big guy and I believe he's in his 70's. I'm 5'6" and 150 lbs. I have no problems compressing the springs with my feet. .

Their front feet only get so big..... unlike your overgrown clods! wink

Seriously, if I were to buy new beaver traps knowing what I know now I would but the MB750’s, with Dave’s setters. I currently run the TS85’s because I love the loose jaw and smashing the levers is relatively easy for me.


Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it.

Thanks silky! I am not that big and definitely do not have the strength I once had. And you are correct, I am 75. I used setters when I used MB 750s. No way I could do those short levers. But I do not have any problem setting the Beaver Extremes and removing them from catches by hand. I do not set them over my knee. I set them on the ground and push the levers down with my hands. To remove catches, I hook my fingers over the levers and pull them down.

When talking about coil springs, I have had 750's, CDR's and the Beaver Extremes. The CDR's are a great beaver trap, but I cannot set them without a setter. I can set the extremes easer than a CDR and if I have to without a setter. I really like the dogless better than the dog on type.
I have 6 doz extremes and use the, almost daily. I take a couple of weeks off every year. This is how I make my living, if they did not catch I would not use them.
Dang good trap at a good price. If you are in salty type water replace the pan bolt with a SS steel bolt.
