Very informative, and always felt the Duke 1.5 was the best in Duke's line...
Seems like the double jaw variety is all the craze these last few years, but I make out just fine with the single jaw for less $$.
I really liked the bent lever mod, great stuff!

Thorpe was a thinker, I believe those bent jaw tips could also aid in breaking through the trap covering of a trap bedded below surface... Adding the dual advantage of a reduced resistance lever, plus the added stabilization from the bent down lever tips.
Many other great tips in that vid Coon Duke, thanks for your contributions here on T-Man!

Evening Todd and Michael....around here in our cold weather those lever tips MIGHT FREEZE DOWN. But a guy could spray some anti freeze where the lever tips made contact with the ground. I’m sure Thorpe’s weather was just as cold as ours so maybe not a big deal. Just thinking out loud here guys. And Todd ....another good informative video. Evening Mike, Great line of thought, freezing could possibly be an issue...Think I'll try some bent levers out this season, but the winters here generally wouldn't compare to yours and Todd's.
