As you gain experience you will figure out what you want. We all have different preferences.

Never mind the rust but the cast jaws , larger pan, nite latch, centered d ring and swivels are just great. I’m sure you will find this with other brands but this is my favorite

The most under appreciated trap by me by far was the sleepy creek line of of traps. I have some and they slowly grew on me and now that most aren’t available, I’m craving for more. I have no problem paying a little more for American made traps.
