Looking to buy some new for fisher and coons. In NY that’s the largest bodygripper we can use on land. Your experiences?
Thanks

I don’t like them. I have arthritis in my hands and the small spring eye gives me fits.

The ones I have are hard to set the eyes are an issue evidently. I thought I must not be setting them correctly but I’ve seen enough other posts on here cussing them I feel like it’s not just me.

I use a small grinder and level off the tabs on them. Not a perfect solution but makes them usable.

I prefer the 5 x 5 duke. Duke uses a 160 size spring on it's 5 x 5, Bridger a 110 size spring. And the ever present spring eye issue with small bridger BG's.

Very weak trap in my experience. Have had several less than ideal scenarios on fisher with them. I no longer use them.

What about wolf creek 155's?

I grind all my bridges the same

Thanks for the replies. Anyone can use Wolf Creek 155 s?

Duke also makes a #155

Take the bridger springs off and buy used 160 spring from the duke 160 that people sell that they took off to make single spring 160 for muskrats. And still grind off those nobs like shown. Basically do not buy the bridger conibears......jk

Why not buy the Duke to start with? You don't have to replace the springs or grind down the nobs.

I don't have a Bridger 155. I have a 150.......I think it came free with a MTP order. It was worth what I paid for it. The Bridger 160 is an absolute hammer.......that won't work at all until you replace the trigger wire and clip with a Belisle.

What Bridger ought to do is contract with the folks that made BMI traps and rebrand those as Bridger. Do that and they could own the body grip market. What they offer now is scrap metal.

But until then, go with the Dukes.

I like my Bridger #155's and the RTS Setter. I also add a swivel and paint dip them. No complaints...
