The best is the one with a beaver in it!! What is your favorite of the ones you have? Get another one!! I would get a sleepy creek if you can find one.

I like the #5 bridger double longsprings. Take up space to bed but the big coils are hard on the hands. Also reasonable in price Yeah, I’ve looked at them, probably best price for big long springs

Problem solved

B#L #44 DBL LS is by far my favorite if you can find them. My second choice is the Bridger #5 coils.
I have nothing clever to put here.

I 2nd that nomination. great trap. Old school that gets it done.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Certainly not the best Many other better choices. Have caught a pile of beaver in #14 jumps over the years.

You might have
But they're are better choices now Depends.Trapping under the ice I don't have to build a platform if I use a #14 jump.In open water I use a short chain hooked to a slider for a front foot catch so they drown very quickly.To me you can't beat them.
