The only Soft Catch Victor long springs that I know of were made by Bryan Butera, Oneida Victor Inc., Ohio. He bought the rights to the names, Oneida, Victor and Newhouse after 1999. Animal Trap Company, Woodstream Corp. did make some experimental rubber jaw longspring Victor traps in the 1980s but they were not put into production that I know of.

The only #11 Pan that they have made in anytime says Newhouse, but maybe there is a soft catch pan out there for #1. Last edited by MattLA; 12/09/22 08:40 PM.

These were ordered directly from victor by LDWF If it makes a track on this earth , I can catch it.
