Or they read about it here. Lol

Help me find it. not so long ago there was a photo here of 154 beaver.

44 B&L for me

Helfrich 750.

Impressive catch of beaver in adc post, so ts 85 have weak holding power the way built even with 4 coils ? I like the big jaw spread, price better some, spend close to $50 on 1 foothold beaver trap to much , 8.5 jaw spread would be good but not weak hold power, I probly vote no on ts 85 after hear this, if even a chance it true, want nothing to do it, 1 chance at big beaver is likely all get,rember last winter when look at public place for late deer hunt an was all snow in the entrance, a huge black look or dark beaver under bridge just sit around bank didle around when we t past twice on way in an out ,not try bad mouth but rember now, a vender had ts 85 also had colony traps an were junk new, real lite jinsy cage an wrong size of squares on colony but set them an rats would get out the colony trap between side an door , I complain them an got sent new ones an were told that no good an mistake

I haven't had any trouble with the holding power of my ts85's. I've found if my set is made right and the beaver does what it's supposed to they will be there. I've heard this complaint about them ever since I started using them. Still haven't seen it, and I feel I've put plenty of beaver in the truck.

Maybe there ok then, would be interested in 2 of them for that price, can't figure out why more than several complaints of sprung an out at terminal end of slider or rod, I have had happen more once with 3 bridger could that were 4 coiled, once this fall, unless they were set shallow an pinch beaver by chest an grab ahold chest hair ? Are they strong spring an fast ? It say 4 coils but in pic it look like 2 coils

Mine are half and half 2 coil and 4 coil. I like the 4 coil better because they are easier for me to set and it definitely speeds them up.

Nice trap.I have one also

Dave, You know how some people are, they just want something to complain about. I agree with possum63, I don't have any problem using the TS85's and them holding beaver. In my opinion, they are a good trap.

I'd try a couple of those when I can touch them before buying....hopefully at Cumberland s or Log cabin store

Looks like more cougar or wolf trap, on 850 s, are ts-85, 4 coil?

I have coil spring setters that old, I don't think fit some, u got buy speacil spring setter for different brands ? Why it's trap easy set by hand compare others? I can set bridger 5 without tool

TS85s are not 4 coiled...but can be.

I'm a double longspring guy for beaver myself. Blake and Lamb or Victor 4s are what I use and like, haven't tried any of the new companies double longsprings. Newhouse are the best, but I'd hate to have something happen to one while I was trying to catch an $8 beaver with it. So the couple I have are wallhangers.

Bruce T, I never liked those Victor jumps, but I caught quite a lot of beaver in them, would set them wherever I had any worries about Johnny Sneakum because I wouldn't be as broke up over losing one of them as I would over losing a dls. They work, but are a directional trap, and I like setting a double longspring over my knee while standing in water, with wet cold hands a lot better than setting one of those jumps.

It say 4 coiled on Cumberland trap site , so they are easier to set by hand then others ?

Then buy them. If them come 2 coiled, get on here and let us know!

WAY easier to set. I told you that already. They have long levers and weak springs so they are easy to open and set. Easier than a real strong 1.5 coil. That is the two coil traps. Its also why so many hate them because they are apparently magic and work great for one guy and the next guy can't keep more that 50% of the beaver in them. Hopefully, you'll be in the first group that they work for, you seem lucky like that.

Myself, I'll try the Duke 850 if I ever seen a need or have a desire to buy more beaver footholds. I don't take people's word for anything, I always learn the hard way, always been that way. lol

Here you go Dave,
