or anyone else that uses them. I acquired some Bridger #2 dogless 2 coiled traps. What modifications/adjustments do y'all recommend for this trap?

Not either one of them but I’ve got enough and have seen that we do similar things to them

Try taking a grinder to the tab inside the jaws in an attempt to tweak the offset. Can’t say for sure that I know if it truly helps. Also consider adding four coils. Bottom line is the design likely doesn’t have great lock up so we are grasping at ways that might improve outcome. I’ve got a handful that are laminated also but not enough to tell if it’s great improvement Cheap affordable trap especially good where might be stolen or run over by heavy machinery. Holds critters but it’s also the trap that I’ve lost more critters from than anything else

Also at its price point it’s not super rugged. As in it pretty routinely is twisted and bent from a catch so keep an eye on that. Worst parts are the pins for spring holders
