Name a commonly trapped animal that you would want to hold, that the MB trap is not beefy enough for? Never seen nor heard of any deficiencies with any of their products. In my opinion a trap doesn’t have to weigh 4 lbs to get the job done. Only bent frame on an MB was due to a tractor and hay wagon on my line. I surely can’t blame them for my mistake in placement. I agree with this to the point of most traps made currently. There is a difference in damage between a lot of brands and styles but there are few new traps that are not made to hold the intended animals well. I see a lot of them come in and out the door. Personal preferences are certainly where the market is at kind of beyond building a trap to hold an animal. There look to really answer a lot of requests from MB fans wanting more. I think it will come out fairly expensive and it will sell well for MTP because MB guys will snatch them up as a best of both worlds Bridger and MB. Then the Jake guys will still be Jake guys and the Sterling guys will still be sterling guys and then there will be the group ranting about made in USA or assembled in USA. All of that lol. Oh and don't forget the NO BS guys will stay NO BS guys too i presume.

I was really hoping they were gonna come out with a scaled up version of the 550 Duke did Lol. Sorry I had to throw that one out there. I really like it and run a lot of them actually. I think there is a good reason why they never made a big version of the 550. My personal opinion but the 550 fit a great mold for them and they could sell them to almost every state and corner of the continent really. This allowed them to create options for the trap and not limit the sales of those options. It is expensive to market a trap as 2-4 coiled offset and non offset and then rubber jawed. On the other hand Duke makes 650's or 550's one way no options. That does limit where those can be sold and who can use them. I think the alpha as it is being called will fall into the same category as the 550 as versatile so they can continue selling options. That is one thing folks like MB for. They can still get traps the way they want them.

I’ll add to the list...they don’t hold up well with bulldozers either. You’d think for what you pay they would be indestructible. As far as the new traps, they will be GA legal!! I’ll probably get a dozen to try and if I like them I’ll buy more.

Lots of guys would love to see an actual wolf trap from them and not just a modified beaver trap with a small, for wolves, jaw spread. A true 8.5" or 9" spread that comes up through crusty snow and frozen ground would be well received. Especially at a fair price point.

I join in the complainants about the MB 550 being just not tough enough to get brush hogged and still be ready to reset without even an adjustment. When will they improve? In all other ways they are just wonderful!

I was just trying to standardize on the 550s. Come on. Honestly I think I would like the 550 jaws on a bridger frame if they would sit as low then. My neighbor ran one of my 550s over driving around my farm looking for his dog. I told him my wife would go becuse she knew where my traps are. He didn't wait. He was in his large side by side utility vehicle. He found his dog wearing a different 550. he seemed irritated but hard to tell in a txt. I tried to call to verify but he didn't answer. The trap fired and dosen't open as smooth going past where the jaws connect. Still held a coyote just fine.

I've never had a MN Yote shake a stock # 2 Bridger dogless. The MB dogless should be a total success. IMHO, the KO's are overkill unless you are chasing Timber Wolf.

They've held 2 different bears in the 75 to 100 lb. range. And they held me be by 4 fingers once.

Competition is good there would not be a new mn trap except for duke making the 650. The more trap companies there are the more trappers will benefit I agree 100%.
