For the guys who use them for rats, weasels, chipmunks and such, what is the best model? The strongest and most durable. Thanks!
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Whatever is readily available locally for you is what I would run with. I can get both the metal pan and plastic yellow pan Victors for about 2 bucks each. I'm not sure which one is better and maybe there might be another one out there that's good.

This may not help you but ive caught probably 10 gallons of packrats and the best trap I've found for the job is my bridger #3s. Lightly cover with ground duff and sprinkle some grain on the pan. An exposed victor rat trap seems to scare them and ive tried them many different ways. I've got probably 5 dozen of the Victor wooden yellow pan rat traps. Wow, I would have thought the jaws would go over them. Pretty cool!

To juice them up enough to knock a gray squirrel crazy and put a definite dead on smaller stuff like weasels, red squirrels and large rats, lift the back of the spring's tail and place a thin wooden shim under them. If I get a chance tomorrow I will post a picture of what I mean. Thanks Eric!
