Are the 650 with locking jaws hard to set. Do they bed better than other traps!!

They do bed easily. Much like the Sterling 600. I like the MB 650, especially when I add the Monte Poole pan.

I'll second what Marty said,...great trap and Monte's new pans are top notch but it does take some getting used to setting and working with the trap....like anything else.
They bed great and fire up through some adverse ground conditions.
