what would you get new? trap, chain, anchor, coating, mods? I assume that we all try to save money on here, but if you had an endless supply what would you get?

thanks!

I would probably get a 6.5 Grendel or 204 ruger to hunt me some coyotes

All stainless steel trap. Springs, chain, swivels everything stainless
Then blacken it in nitrite90. Just have to clean and wax, no rusting.
And I'd like 20 dozen mb 550s done up that way
Thank you Please

Bridger 2 square jaw coilspring, 4 coiled, laminated, base plated, dogless pan, short chain with mid chain swivel, and bullet anchor on 18" of cable.
3s grabbed too high for my liking last couple seasons.
2 is about right.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

MB 550 OS, oh wait that is what I have. Don't think any trap would convert me, I really like them.


Wish I had more time to trap....

The trap aint the dream. I already have the perfect setup...and a bunch of em, for my conditions.

Making it 17 more months to retirement so I can do what I want...when I want....that's the dream.

I'm good with a modified #3 bridger, and the older I get a long chain and good drag.
Or at least a anchor I put in before frozen ground.


Let me sugar coat this

Stain"less" doesn't mean it won't rust. Just means it rusts slower.

I like my MB 550's but interested to see what the new dogless ones will be like.
