Well my first impression of the 450’ pro traps are good. Same stainless night latched dog as the 650’s. I like the 3 swivels, might change out the one closest to the trap for a rod swivel to help with bedding. If I do I’ll bubble the three bolts on the bottom of the trap and weld all j-hooks. I will be bending the frame to lower the pan just a bit this is an easy fix. Bought these to try on grey fox, the trap is heavy? Hoping the wide jaws will be easy on feet. There are no sharp spots I have seen yet. I’m sure they would hold a coyote, or a few toes on a cat. Should make a fine trap.

Looks like a good copy, but that pan is too big for my liking.

I ordered right from Duke, I use a lot of his squirrel live traps so just had them throw a couple dozen on a pallet of live traps.

Looks like the MB450, lol. Someone didn’t patent their stuff or the patent ran out and Duke jumped on it.
