im guessing thats an OS jaw judging by the lugs?

Also has a closed jaw prototype and from what I got from are conversation at pta closed jaw, 3/16 offset, and 1/4” offset.

Will come in reg jaw and offset, as well as a few lamination configurations

I can’t wait to get a few dozen definitely going to make a nice trap to use in the areas where fox population are higher then yotes but will handle any passing yote with ease.

Looks fantastic and I hope it’s a successful endeavor for him.

Looks a bit heavy for grey fox.

I agree Patrick. Any trap over 2 pounds pretty much seals the deal with grey fox. Not saying it wouldn't be a great coyote live market trap but I just do not like square jawed foot traps. It's just my opinion but I have personally lost 4 coyotes out of #2 bridgers 20 years ago. Traps where newer with good springs too. To make matters worse I have personally seen 2 coyotes pull out of them right infront of me. I can honestly say I have never had a coyote pull out of a round jaw trap. Even #1.5s or mb 450s. I spoke to Kendall about this trap and asked if there was any chance he would do it in a round jaw but he said no. Not knocking the man or his traps. I have much respect for him and have spoke with him several times. Great guy! Just I favor round jawed traps. Robert Waddell once said round jaw traps pay the bills.

You're not kidding!

Dang i thought i was done buying traps i guess not lol

Any info on pricing?

With the gap in the jaw for the pan to engage I don't see this trap being any good for the live market, now if the pan was designed to engage on top of the jaw then maybe so.

I agree. That notch won't do foxes' feet any favors.

Maybe a welded on tab for dog engagement would work instead of the dog engaging on the jaw face.

The springs are on the wrong side.
A benefit?
Maybe great for the trapper that looks
in the mirror a lot lmao

Often wanted to talk with this guy
but he is ALWAYS busy at the conventions.

That is one stout looking 1.5.

Bigger and stronger is not always a plus with some equipment. With my experience I am going the other direction.

A moderate weight, sound trap with 2 coil springs is plenty trap for anything I am after. Like in using lure and bait, more is not better. Spend more time on learning location and a little goes a long ways.

Curious what the intention with this trap is. Seems way overbuilt for a 1.5, or any animal you'd target with a 1.5.

That's my thoughts. From the weight and looks of it, heavy for fox and a smallish jawspread for coyotes.

THIS^^^

This is what I asked on page 1 of this thread.

Are there a lot of trappers out there that need a 1.5 coil built that heavy? Im all for the availability of well built traps, but not sure this was a good business decision for NoBS Traps.

The springs being on that side decrease pan tension with that dogless design

With the springs on the "right" side the pan tension is a little higher from the factory and require some adjustment

Trappers nowadays don't own a file and like to complain when factory pan tension is higher than they deem fit, so that's why NO BS puts them on the "wrong" side
