Guys,, are the 155s kinda difficult for you guys to set?
I couldn’t get the 155 because they were out of stock,
So I ordered some 150 and some 110 springs and it’s almost like the spring eyes are too small on the 150( before I added the extra spring) is this a thing or did I just get a bad batch?

That's the way they are. Small spring eyes.
I've heard that they intend to correct the issue, but I don't know if they've done it yet.

They are a pain to set, without a setter that is. I was told the smaller eyes were intentional in order to make the jaws close tighter.

I don't have to set them anymore. Some good ol' boy sent my kids a setter, so now I just sit back, relax, and rest my hands. grin

Bridger 155s suck for that reason.

MTP has been told by every trapper since they released them

MTP has new production traps that will replace the OLD style Bridger body grippers coming out. The new traps have bigger spring eyes and better trigger/dogs. Contact them for more details.
