How many use, this size trap on their line or even own them?

Would a mb 750 or cdr 7.5 be considered a number 5? They should be and yeah I am known to own and set a few of them.

I use bridger 5s for beaver trapping, and love them!

I got some 750s for beaver.

I use Bridger #5, #5 dbl, and several TS-85's.

I do.

I do

TS 85 isn’t legal here if it’s over 7.5 inch jaw spread that is the only reason I don’t have any

Great traps for beavers,if they ever have a wolf season here again the #5 Bridger coil is a good wolf trap,#5 LS might be a decent wolf trap as well,but there are better one's out there.

I use them where they are legal

Sure, got some #9s but the MB 750s fall into that 7”ish size. But I like the idea taller jaws on the #9s in the snow. I’ll buy a 5 Bridger just to try though.

I use #5 Bridger coils for Beaver and love them. My favorite is B&L #44 LS but they are hard to find and expensive.

Got some for beaver

I use them

I'd be very inefficient trapping beavers without this size foothold.

I have a few 5 LS for certain nuisance beaver applications.

I have a dozen Blake & Lamb #44 long springs
that I use with deadly effect on beaver.

They have inside Laminations to down-size the inside spread
to 7 1/4" inches so that they are New York State Legal.

They are also base plated, center swiveled & have been up-graded
to #3 twist loop chain with three crunch proof swivels.

They are beaver catching machines.

Show off!

The reason I asked is I have used #4's of beaver and really haven't had any issues but haven't used them for beaver for years now. I use 330's strictly now but have a chance to purchase a few used #5's.

Do you see any real big difference from the #4 to #5's on beaver that would make it a game changer to go with 5's instead of 4's?

The wider jaw spread and higher jaws on #44 B & L's make
for a higher up catch, and greater catch percentage than the smaller # 4's.

IMO
