Won't hurt anything. Seen alot of mink guys moving to laminated traps , apparently helps keep toe catches . Regardless no much of a downside with lams

I see no need for lamination on any trap.

Ive done well with lams on coon traps. Totally see the merits on land traps vs water traps, but hard to beat lams. Swivrls of course way important on coon traps, lams and swivels and you are set. Coon are bread and butter of our fur here. Jim

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

Chew guards to the outside of jaws and light trigger for me. Or dbl jaw. No experience with no bs. Dry land, skinny water, deep water, all good.

The only time I ever laminated a trap was when I was trapping live market critters.Other then that if the critter Is going on a board a nice square jaw face Is the way to go. No slipping of a foot with a nice squared up jaw face.

I personally don't like them for fox. I have the double jaws and I think between the big pan and the double jaws it gets too many toe catches which can mean losses. They will hold very well.. it's not a matter of strength.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Trust me if you've ever been snapped by a NO BS double jaw 1 1/2 you will quickly realize you could laminate it with 1/2" rebar and it won't need extra strength, and yes the 1 1/2's are made in Korea.

This. Regular jaw with beefy outside lams. I’m laying off coon and mink this year but when they return on our radar, No BS 1 1/2” w/outside land is the steel we will be slinging. 8’ cable attached to a window weight and you can get an awful lot of blind sets out in a day.

Laminations help with foot/leg damage period by distributing the jaw force over a wider contact area.. love em or hate em, laminations go hand in hand with BMP's If your using a drowning rig you surely don't need laminations, but it's never a bad idea especially for the outsiders that hate trappers. That's my opinion.
