I would not buy the Duke ripoffs. Don’t handicap yourself with traps of inferior quality, which includes all components as stated by Rick. Also don’t limit yourself with traps that are smaller than the legal ideal. Go with the MB traps of the best legal size for your area. I use the MB-550 2 coil offset jaw.

If your serious about long term the MB Alpha #3 deserves a close look. The MB 550s also. I use both for different situations. MB450s will hold coyotes till the cows come home but a smaller trap is a handicap. Trap is only as good as the steal it's made from!

I have some Duke 550s and they are great coyotes traps. I also have some 650s but haven't used them yet. Both traps are well built.

I planted mine untreated and have very little rust. That tells me a bunch about the quality of the steel!
