What would it be? I just spent a couple days chasing down some old #44 Blake and Lambs. I sure wish someone would make it's equivalent today. I was wondering what particular model some of you folks miss, and would like to see made again.

B&L #44 DBL LS. I have a couple and love them. I wish I had bought more years ago.


I have nothing clever to put here.

20” across so did they use 220 springs or make their own.

The Montgomery #2 round jaw, man what a neat coyote trap. I had a bunch of them after college and over the years my supply dwindled to 0 from either theft or tractor mashing.
I bought some more of them off of Scott on here a few years ago and when I caught a coyote with them that first season setting those, man it brought back some great memories. Stout music wire springs, flat set profile, round jaws with smooth edges. I started my search for more of them. Really hard to find.
I know Montana has a good replica but those are hard to get too.
Sigh…

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
