I've had the opposite experience... empty traps and catch circles. I bought a dozen, and sold half of them to another guy and he had the same problems... Maybe sleepy Creek changed their design at some point, but with the already offset trap and the extra give, the ones I had didn't work for me. Which is why I said to check them out before purchasing.
Another trap that a lot of people had these problems with was the 1.5 bridger before Minnesota changed the jaws. I had a dozen, not offsets... my little girl caught a coon right away in one, came home for me and it pulled right out. It wasn't caught low either. You could make them work with extra strong springs but it was the same thing, the jaw angle didn't allow for good lock up.

That was before the internet and trappers didn’t know 1 3/4 won’t catch coyotes lol

Wouldnt the swivel have to be non working in order for that to happen? I noticed your traps were stuck in the grooves of your bedliner,, not allowing the trap to swivel.
