At the Ohio convention this weekend, JC had one of his newly developed Jake trap. He said the jaw spread was 5" by 5.25". As with anything JC makes, it's top quality. He said he's planning on bringing it out for sale this spring.

Views of the trap....

Looks like a great trap. JC makes good stuff. Makes me wonder if there's a "Big Jake" wolf sized trap in the works. John Wayne would approve.

-Dang thats a thing of beauty

Oh what high levers you have.

Cool!

Can't wait to drool on one.

I wish I could “Like” every post here so far, including this one.

Something with 9” jaw spread would be interesting. JC is savvy enough to not label a slightly stronger beaver trap as a wolf trap.

Sweet!

the original Jake was so close to exceeding PA's size limit that it made it tough to risk using here.

Jim will always get an A+ for innovation and providing the industry with yet another great product.

Very Cool

glad to see that, thought he gave up on it 20 years ago. ANYTHING Jim builds is bullet proof!

Have to try some of those, everything I've tried of J.C.'s has been exceptional.

Wish he would start making his bags again they were great.

Excellent

JC is the best of the best. He innovates, improves upon his designs, and always seeks to create new and useful tools for trappers.

Thank you, JC !

I want a couple of them

Yes!

No experience with Jake traps, do they only come in padded jaws?

That was my question. I'm not a padded jaw user.

Wow I spoke with him about this probably 20 years ago and finally give up on it. This is amazing....

I can see myself bedding a couple of those in future.

That's a good looking trap. JCs videos are top notch.

If its anything like the original jake trap and it appears to be. You can take out the pads and bolt back on the flat stock and you have an offset laminated trap...

Mannnnnn, now that looks like a solid piece of equipment right there!! I’d love to have more information on how to buy,,

I know a lot of folks might think it has kind of a small jaw spread for coyotes and cats but you have to remember that it is almost identical to a #3 long spring. No idea how many hundreds of thousands of coyotes have been caught in the old #3 LSs

I agree 100%!
Will be getting a couple dozen when JC has them available.

I thought that I wasn't a "padded jaw guy" until 2 dozen Jakes showed up at my doorstep. They were highly recommended to me by a well respected coyote trapper, but he left out the part about the pads.
I went ahead and set them as is and every time a trap was sprung, there was a coyote in it. Those pads are tough as all get out they cannot slide their feet whatsoever. They hold toe caught coyotes too since there is no offset. I set them for coon when I have wind blown sand piling up on sets. Those traps fire through some pretty deep sand, and the coon will still be there when I show up. JCs rubber jaws are the ticket in my opinion.

Excited about this!! I love the jakes but the jaw spread is too wide down here for predator use.

That is for us old farts that struggle to open a door now days! Do you believe in mechanical advantage? lol
