I stumbled upon a company supposenly making a number 8 double long spring. Seems like a pretty big trap, heavy duty. Now obviously it would be illegal to set for bear, but with the way things are going, I'm thinking if one had to catch a bear, either a problem bear or to have a good supply of meat and fat, in bad times, - , the number 8 offset with teeth may hold one.
Not sure, wondering what other people think, what the old new house number 5 dimensions were, current bear foot snare dimensions, etc.
All hypothetical, not planning on violating any game laws or bear, just something that got thrown out in my survival group.

Without a doubt the best built long spring traps being made today. Very similar to the old Newhouse traps.

I've handled a couple and I'd think they are designed for Lions but would hold up to s black bear so long as it got a good pad catch. Obviously the bigger bears might not fit.

The trap on the right is a number 8 LPC

I won the trap on the left in a raffle at coyote days a couple years ago
