I just ordered a couple to try, has anyone used the RBG's before? I figured I'd try out the 330 size and get more if I end up liking them. I could see the 440's working good for lynx cubbies. Just looking for some other's opinions on the RBG's

I've got a couple dozen 150's with double springs I'm looking forward to trying on dryland blind sets and log crossings for mink.

I might get some smaller ones too if I like the 330's. Also kind of curious about the 440's, but that'll have to be another order.

Check out the MB1216, I think you will like them for both wolverine and lynx. Less refusals, big strong traps with a cable and swivel attached from the factory. Made in USA by MTP.

Order straight from MTP or have Ted in Tok order them and maybe save some shipping if possible, Teds fur shed.

I bought a few of the 330s 10 years or so ago. I like them fine, but for me at least, I didn't find them to be either a advantage or a disadvantage over a traditional 330. I've never bought any more, because the price is a bit high considering they didn't seem to offer any kind of an advantage over a traditional body grip, but they are good strong traps and it's cool to have a few.

I'll look into those too. That's why I was looking at the 440's too, I figured a bigger opening looks more inviting. I don't know that I'd want to use them in the water a whole bunch, seems like you'd hip catch a lot of the quicker moving otter

The 1216’s hold onto things. Always fun when you have an otter by the tail.

I'm sure they do, I was talking about the 440 RBG's in water sets, if I like the 330's I'm gonna order a few for lynx/wolverine cubbies and I was just saying I'd wonder about otter zipping through and getting hip caught if I were to use them in the water

I used a lot of RBG160s for coon In trail sets, and they out preformed the square type 160s. They just blend in better.

That's what I was hoping for. I'm going to try the 330's first, and if I like them I'm going to order some 440's for lynx/wolverine cubbies. I figure a bigger opening and a more natural shape can only help things

I didn't care for the ones I had and I sold them but I seem to be the only one on the internet that doesn't like them. I use a long cable on my body grips and there were signs of struggle on the catches I made.

Work great for beaver and otter.

Went and picked up my mail a couple days ago, they showed up and they seem like a solid trap. Got them dipped in vinegar water and hanging to get some rust started, gonna try to get the shed warmed up enough to paint them tomorrow night.

Where did you find them? I cant seem to find any for sale.

I ordered them through MTP

I bought them in the classifieds here. Pretty sure he ordered them from the manufacturer. I don't think they add the second spring commercially until you get up to the 160 size.

Bill crum is the guys name I think. I have seen them double springed in smaller sizes, I just haven't seen them available at MTP or F&T
