I think Minker is either referring to a KB 5.5, which has compound levers, or else an MB 550. I have never tried the 5.5, but I love my 550s and would recommend them to anyone. MB 550's ROCK! [the coon pull out if you have off set jaws thou]

Just my two cents' worth, K9. I made a dirthole last year, didn't use gloves, didn't use a kneeling pad, nothing. I really goofed off with that set, just trying to have fun. Stuck some fish down the hole, and put mink gland outside the hole. The set wasn't within 100 yards of permanent water. Had a gray fox the very next day.
I read about a fella peeing on his competition's set, only to find the same thing: A gray fox in it the very next day.
I'm not saying you're wrong, just saying, there are different ways of doing things, and they all work to some extent.

I know of people who have used gloves and who dont i think it truly depends on population. and just how picky the animal wants to be. I have also reset with the same so called dirty trap and cought two more reds on the same trap.

jersey gloves are scent free when clean, wash in baking soda...we talked about this on facebook, and im sure i trappedd more k9's then you, not to be competitive, but maybe scent has something to do with it.. i will garenty you have trapped more fox then me but i think my main prob is trap stability and frozen trap beds but it could also be sent but i have talked to guys that trap lots of fox any where from pennsalvania to missisipi i know i spelled that rong but he said gloves made no difrence in the catch rate for him and he did not wax his traps eather

I could imagine you catchin more yotes then me,Ive caught 2 this will be my first year tryin to catch them though.When you hit over 120+ fox then will compare numbers.I finally got a camera too.Oh and im a VERY competitive person.Ask Garett!!!

My idea of scent control is Get in and get out. Dont hang around your sets too long.

I've seen many Mark June demos, K9, and he never has said at any of them that scent is important. He says that the main thing is LOCATION.
