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 X2 on this. I cant imagine setting a 4 coiled No BS while standing in a creek. The 2 coils are plenty strong.

What’s the difference between the newer CDRs and the old ones? I was the highest bidder on 2 of these at $55 IIRC at the national last year. Crap. With my new phone, I can’t upload some pics.

Shakey, they don't make CDRs anymore WCS is making a copy and the springs weaken after hard use. Thanks, I don’t think I’ve ever handled a new style. I got a bit more info on them. I believe mine are 1st gen. Certainly nothing wrong with the old models if strong is what you want. I’m glad they’re laminated to spread the pressure around.

For the brawn, you use the rubber jawed ones? The only other ones I’ve seen are the off sets. Never thought of using those big tanks for beaver….but I’d way sooner get something cheaper that’ll hold just as well….lol.

I like the Bridger Brawn’s also but they are spendy! I have taken that trap and thrown it into the water in front of blockings and removed beaver….

Following this thread. Looking to try to trap our first beavers this year in footholds. Hope to buy 1/2 dz traps or so to start with
