How are they? I know Belisle's would be the best, but kind of in a pinch. Has anyone used the Duke 330 Magnum?

Yup, the 330 that everyone has a few of. They kill beavers as good as any other.

I like the regular jaw better.

I never had any complaints!

They work.

My buddy has some Belisle's. The other day the trap went off with both safeties on and It broke his finger. There Is no need for a trap that powerful.

duke 's work great for me,

I like mine, first ones I grab.

By far the strongest springs in the industry !

Been using mine for years. No complaints. Eric

Dukes here......jk

I was looking to add a couple more 330’s and the Belisles were around $34/ea and I would have to pay shipping as nobody local carries them, Duke are $18/ea at the local General store. I went with the Dukes and got twice as many.

Do the duke magnums close all the way?

Sure there is..

The magnums close all the way. Eric

Close all the way? Are we trapping cigarette papers.

They are good traps, no my favorite but I catch a lot of beaver in them.. They are not that cheap anymore. Often more than bridgers by a dollar or two.... Now look at the Rudy bodygrips, they are a nice trap, well built and only $2 more than Dukes... No trigger adjustments, stronger frames..
I like Dukes just fine but they are not the great deal they use to be...

Yup, the price gap is closing.

I have a bunch of dukes in my inventory. They kill wolverine just fine. bad tendency for the spring eyes to slip past the corners of the trap though. Not a huge deal but can be an inconvenience when setting a whole bunch. They are small for a 330. id take bridger over the dukes to be honest.

Just wish they were 10x12
