The NoBS beaver come in a full jaw non laminated. I got a dozen from Kendall last year at the MO convention

I run a Spring beaver line in Northern NY every year. Much of this is on rivers after bank beaver. I use mostly footholds on drowning rods. Here are my thoughts-
1. I agree no offsets. It's not uncommon to make a catch with just a toe. Could be gone in an offset.
2. I have CDR'S, 750's, and No BS beaver extremes.
CDR's- love them. If I could buy more I would.
750's- work great but I'm not a fan of the held down jaw. All these beaver traps are serious business. I feel way more comfortable slipping my fingers up under the loose jaw to set the night latch. I cut the lever off so I can lift the loose jaw.
NO BS- work great and built like a tank. I like the powder coat finish.
So....when I get new ones I get No BS ( I love the other Caven stuff though, MB-550, etc.)

I may be wrong, but I doubt it ! I think Tim Sawatzky was the originator.

What's did they do to the new CDRs which makes them problematic?

I guess I've in the woods too long. I didn't know there was a new CDR out there. If they are just like the old ones they would be great.

2poor is correct on the 750 story.

I've been using the No BS beaver extremes in closed jaw not laminated for several years. They are a great trap and I won't hesitate to buy more if I ever need them.

You will get someone who prefers every beaver trap made and many who prefer beaver traps that are no longer made.
I have and have used them all, all of them currently made and many no longer made. Except bridger Brauns - I really need to try them.

My advice is to buy one or two of every currently available full size beaver trap (and definitely get some old original CDR’s if you can find them) and try them all in your conditions and with your trapping style.
They all hold beaver, I have not had trouble with that on any of them. What makes the decision for me is how easy they are to use - which is more than just how easy they are to set - it includes how they can be placed, how big the pan is, do you target front or rear foot, and other factors.
I do have a favorite, but they are my favorite because of features and suitability for my style and conditions. I like a small pan because I target back feet. I like a pan that flips up nearly vertical so I can safely get it positioned and bedded then click it down and walk away, so PIT pans or modified dogless pans. For me, the perfect trap isn’t sold from the factory - and that is not to say the trap makers dont get it right - they all make good traps that are a mixture of strengths and tradeoffs - as they must be when making production traps. By trying a few of each, you will learn what features work best for you.
After decades of doing ADC beaver work, I have sorted out the features I want in a foothold, and I modify my traps to fit what I want. But if you want the best factory foothold for YOU, you will have to try them all and see what works for you. Perhaps 20 years down the road you will end up like me with a bunch of metal fab tools, modifying traps to suit your style.

That was a long story that did not answer a question……

ADC said it best,,,,,,,,,, TLTR…

Vinke version for short attention folks:

Buy a couple of each, see what you like.

They all work, just different features.

Regular jaw, 2 coil, No BS Beaver Xtremes for me. I started off with their 4 coils and they are dang near impossible to set by hand.

Have had no issues at all going to their 2 coil. Plenty strong and I can set them on a muddy bank without needing to carry around setters

Absolutely. Why take the chance

That's news to me. I stand corrected.

From my limited knowledge, I've known that the TS85 was Tim Sawatsky's creation.....but didn't know the MB750 was also.

Tennessee law may require the offset and/or lams.

You’re correct. I must have looked been looking at one of their other traps.

I’ve see a few folks mention the sharp edges on the jaw. Do you think it’s a problem? The thing I really like about the No BS traps is the coating, so if I file off the edge then I’m getting rid of the coating.

Victor No. 4 jump traps have served me well.

Still using the old #4 long spring traps.

I like a sharply square edge, like on the CDR 7.5 , it holds nicely.
