Guys, how many of you still own and run the CDR 750s? Those have got to be the strongest beaver trap ever created. I can’t set those buggars without setters,,, and I can set the mb 750s on my knees without issues. I’m always extra careful when using them… a guy could have himself some difficulty getting himself out if he got pinched,, even worse would be having your drowning rig all set up.

Great trap...still use them...I love the pre-setting feature with the pans. You can add paws-i-trip pans to others and get that pre-set feature. I got a bunch of duke 4x4 traps that I've done that to. Same pan will fit a bridger #3. I, too, like that set at the truck tuck the loose jaw under the pan feature.

That is the coolest thing about them. Walk in with a pack full. Mbs you have to wire a stick or something under the pan and suck to latch….. I had a chain reaction in my pack before I learned. New CDR any good?

I've always considered the CDR the best beaver foot hold I've ever owned and I'd tried most of them. Hardly ever lose a beaver once any part of its foot is in one.
When us older people say, "Enjoy them while they're young." We are talking about our hips and knees, not our kids.

Had one this am on a nuisance job in CDRs.....I use a two trap set up on a long well swiveled chain. The beaver had front paw in one trap and a back foot in the other.

Has WCS fixed the spring problems on their WCR7.5? I know people were shimming springs attempting to address the issues.

I still have some that I use in places that I'm not worried about theft. These are the ones Carl, Don and Randy made (CDR). That was a lot of years ago and the springs are still strong. Carl gave me a dozen of the prototypes to test. The prototypes had regular levers rather than the wire ones. Changing to wire was a big improvement.
