lost all my bodygrips and muskrat/beaver traps in a fire last year. Need replace them all. Looking for suggestions on what's best. will be getting 110s, 120s, 159s, 160s, 220, and 330s bodygrip wise. I had a mixture of duke, victor, belisle and bridger for bodygrips.

colony traps and floats i made myself and will again.

Coilsprings i had bridger 1.5 specials and they were awesome, ill get them again.

beaver foot traps i had duke number 5s and mb 750s. i could it easier at my weight to set the 750 so id get those again.

the bodygrips i am undecided about what brands to go with. I know years ago the bmi was the 110/120 to get. maybe belisle for the bigger ones, but I'm open to suggestions and why you'd choose what you would? I am in canada so they have to be approved, but most are. Getting stuff from the usa is no issue for me.

Ive had good luck on Facebook marketplace

they will be new. price isnt much of an issue but im not gonna spend double on brand a if b is just as good and half price.

Duke traps.

Duke, they have everything you need. Priced right and work great.

They used to be priced right , but now they are pricey. You can find new Victor traps for less than Duke. But Duke does make a good trap nowadays.

Duke super magnum 330’s are awesome

Stay away from Duke. You’re in Canada, no need to stoop to that level. Americans pick the cheap dukes because Belisles are super expensive there. Here, it’s the same price to buy quality gear.
Beaver footholds? TS85 is pretty common up here. Bodygrips, I use Belisles for everything, you won’t regret it.
Check out Dam Beavers site, Duke 330s are the same price as Belisles.
Gotta be on meth for a Canadian to buy Dukes…..lol.

Hopefully your home owner insurance covered them,buy the best you can afford,it only hurts the one time.....

We pick the Dukes because Belisles are no better.

$$ talks. Dukes cheap.
If $$ is no option, would you still run Duke?

Yes

For conibears, all sizes, I run mostly Victor's. They have a great stock 4way trigger and need very little adjustment if any.

Like I said, for you, it makes sense to buy the cheap stuff. Not for anyone from Canada……tariffs or not.

If you say so.

I know how you feel. Lost over 1000 traps a few years back. Over 200 power rams , 150 round colony traps ,100 double floats and and all my body grips and foot holds. All stored in a buddies barn that burnt. Takes a while to find everything to replace but I had a bunch of other gear in my garage.

With body grips I would go with belisle. I replaced every size with them. Easier to get in Canada and like someone mentioned same cost…..I had Belisle, Victor bridgers sauvegno( spelling)and dukes in body grips and in my opinion the Belisle were the best trap. I see dukes is copying the Belisle trap now , I have not tried one to see if they are as good but by them copying the Belisle should tell you something

Footholds it looks like you figured out what you need. Our muskrats are making a slow comeback after 7-8 years of barely anything. I rebuilt 200 round colonies and 3 different sizes of the square ones. 5x5, 6x6 and a wide 24 x 6 that is 3 feet long like my colonies. Probably won’t use floats again because of how easy the colonies are to run. Was easy to do 1500 plus in a week in spring or fall with the colonies. Couldn’t do 150 in a both spring and fall now because of low numbers.

Never used footholds on beaver because Belisles worked just fine for me.

Coyotes I only have a 2 week to 6 week window with footholds before winter shuts them down. I was lucky to get some sterlings, bought some alphas and have some Bridgers. I buy more of each in the same order when I can find them.

It’s like the ford, Chevy dodge debate. Pick what works for you and gear up!

I have about 60 prebuilt funnels and 5 or 6 rolls of wire for muskrat traps sitting in my shop. Haven’t built colonies for awhile.

Good luck to you and I hope you find what you’re looking for.

Your going to be limited to certified traps, correct? You can find what has been certified on pages 25-26 of your trapping guide

I have always been impressed with Belisle's and that is all I run except for 110's.
