Does anyone use these? Is it worth it to outfit all my rat trap coilsprings with them? Should I also switch out all of my Bridgers as well as my dukes? Thanks in advance!

I used them and really liked them. I recommend them.

I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

It's the 1st thing I do to any rat trap. It really is the one thing a guy can do to drastically increase the catch rate of his rat and mink traps. I don't buy into a lot of modifications that guys do, but this is one that proves to be worth the time, effort and money.

If you've ever watched rats standing on the pan of your perfectly tuned stock pans (like I have), you will change your mind.

I haven't yet but my buddy has seen them stand on my pan before. It sucks that this icy and snowy weather rolled in.

Ordered a dozen extra of each because I know I will acquire more traps. So only 7 dozen will have the pans but I have another 2 dozen square jaws that will need them if I like em enough.

What’s the difference between the WR pans and Kendall’s floppy pan?

We just put some on our MB550s, looking forward to catching more cats with them, coyotes too.

In order for a bigger pan to do anything, you have to have animals stepping between the jaw and pan. I think more traps will add up to a higher catch than bigger pans.

Got the pans today. Very nice quality, packing was very nice. Newspaper and standard packing paper, box inside of a box—a handwritten note inside as well, very nice overall.

If you're buying the extra traps then send them right up but for the price of one trap we can put pans covers on that have been proven to help with catches on bobcats and make for less work when setting. Larger pans mean less work and time setting the trap for us.
