As far as the copying situation trappers begged for a larger version of the 550 for years minnesota didnt deliver. I am not knocking Minnesota products as they make a high quality line of products. X2

I got my hands on one a few days ago, thinking about 10 dozen are in my future! I'll wait for the MB version. The duke is like dating a fat chick, feels good till someone sees you.

What's your thoughts on the duke 650 as a beaver trap with the offset? I've never set an offset trap for beaver before but like the idea of a universal coyote, cat and beaver trap for a reasonable price.

Yep they seem like a decent beaver trap as well, eh?

I’ve hated duke traps ever since they started with there one and done body grip traps. These 650s are a good trap. I switched the chains and swivels out. No tuning, no bent dogs, lock up super tight. As far as copying traps, MB is as guilty. I expect static from those who have heard me cuss duke for years. Im just waiting for them to copy belisles 😎

I'm not sure but I think Duke has a 750 beaver/wolf trap on the way. I believe one Is offset and one isn't. Bill said he would name the beaver trap pro Beav. LOL
I have a doz 650s I got for my birthday but I haven't used them yet. Looks to be a great trap.

I ship out of the Duke factory in MS everyday just about. You should get the traps in two to three days no issue this time of year. Everything comes UPS. at least all of my orders do. The trap (650 Pro) in my neck of the woods has performed well. I have used it on slide wires for beaver and on my coyote and cat line. No real issues have popped up. I normally do not use offsets for beaver but i wanted to really get these out and try them everywhere and see what i did and did not like. I am not a huge fan of the chain and swivel setup on them and I will likely swap that out but i will say there was no issue in the field with it. Just not my normal setup.
