Just picked up a half dozen off a member and they are some stout traps. Those of you that run them, do you run 2 coil or 4 coiled? Also, thinking about running regular jaw vs the offsets, thoughts?

I am curious to hear opinions from the guys that use these also. I just picked up a half dozen this year to try out. 4 coiled and offset. Haven't connected with a coyote yet with them.

They are stout, strong springs and heavy construction. They seem to bed pretty nice for me too.

I did have a raccoon pullout on one. I figure it was a front foot catch. Pretty sure coon, as that is what the catch circle smelled like.

K Snow, how are you liking the 4 coil? The ones I bought off a forum member are 2 coil and I honestly don’t think I need the 4 but curious to hear others opinions. They were offset so I went with them but am thinking regular jaw for a mixed line as well!

I wanted the 4 coil, as I'd like them to be my crappy weather traps. We've had a lot of freeze thaw winters here lately, so I wanted the extra springs to help out.

My two coil 550s work fine when the weather is decent. And they've caught coyote in bad weather too.

I started with 60 2 coiled JRs and they held everything that stepped in them. I 4 coiled them all to deal with frost - freeze thaw and am very happy with them. I've held enough skunks, coon, and possum that I see no reason to dislike the offsets.

I have no complaints
I use 4 coiled due to snow/ice/mud
The coating is very durable, I don’t have time to wax traps every year
Also very good on feet but I run double laminated and have very minimal non targets
They are rugged too, don’t be afraid to throw them around, don’t have to worry about bending anything
