I just recently got some used 120's. To say the least thay are the worst trap I ever owned. Not sure what brand they are but they absolutely suck trying to set. The loops on where the springs meet the trap are way too small making it almost impossible to set. Who makes a good 120 with bigger loops on the springs that are alot easier to set. Thanks

Those are bridgers I'd bet. Dukes have a bigger spring eye, so do victors, and belisles are great if you can afford them.

Does the dog or clip have any markings at all to help ID who made it?

Sleepy Creek 110 and 120 not much better. Have small eyes and short spring arms. Logo is on the dog........except it has odd numbers......like 145 or some such.

Sounds like bridger traps. I only use dukes for the same reason.
