The Sauvageau jaws don't get bends in them like the Belisle traps tend to do, but the Belisle safeties are better. I like the. Sauvageau traps better.

My go to beaver trap, more pricey than the competition but worth every cent. The newer traps have a much better safety on them.

The larger trap definitely an advantage.

The savageau is a better trap overall than the Belisle. Because of their design they can use a better metal so you don’t bend the jaws. Because of their design they have more leverage and hold the best.

Downsides-
Safeties (Belisle are the best)
Weight
Catch further back on a beaver
Cost

Nobody has mentioned the Minnesota brand 12x16. How does it stack up against the Canadian brands?

Buy the Savegeaus if you want a larger trap.

My experience with the early MB 1216’s had me selling them ASAP.
