Looking good Tim ............ and as some others mentioned the #3 dogless has me saving a line on my xmas list ........ would love more info

unless they moved the levers out that pan is not as big as a duke unless im missing something or seeing it wrong. a sommerville aftermarket pan will fill the width between the lever pivot points, and as you can see in the first pic there is plenty of room.

Which is better for the money, Taiwan,Korea, or U.S.A. If they were made at home I would consider them.

yes wissmiss, your right!

have a couple hundred dougle longspring traps (old vics)without a pan tension bolt and nut,it causes problems with non targets--does the little, expertly welded bump on this bridger dog act as the "tensioner"? these non tension traps do have thier place on the line,but its an inconvience otherwise.

these look like really nice traps though,rounded jaws, thicker a little bit,levers come up high,nice swivel setup

when a coyote comes along-are we going to have to put a drop of weld on the jaws to prevent jaw popouts

Bridger traps may be made in Taiwan, but MTP is an American company 100 %.

I'm thinking that if Bridger traps were made in the USA, they would be quite a bit more expensive.

If you limited your purchases to items "made at home" you are passing up any number of good products.

Wissmiss, that is true and by no means is all my "stuff" made in USA. Just bringing up a point that someone else undoubtably will. As I have sean this happen in many threads.

Nice trap, gonna try and get a few. What kind of mods would you fox trappers make?

I want to order some...
looks like these new Bridger 1.5s will be a favourite over the Duke 1.5s

only time will tell....whats the price per dozen??

i like it. i like the heavier jaws. reminds me of the northwoods. good job mtp! ill prob get a couple to test out.

Mr Pellethead,


Thank you for your update..........I like the little trap just as it is, then again I like your fox 450

easy there tiger, you dont even know what price point they are at and you already put them to the top of the pedastal. Heck, everyone knows the mb450 is the best 1.5 sized trap made, get yourself 50-60 doz of them and hit it hard!

exactly.

Mr. Otis, here is the picture that you requested with the 1/4" board. I will get back on here later tonight to address some of the other questions. Thank you. Tim Caven, Minnesota Trapline Products, Inc.

Ive never had any of these what was aron with the old ones?

stupid coon trappers

is there a double jaw coming out with these new bridger's somewhere down the road..would love to see a double jaw 1 1/2 built like the old blake and lambs. now you would have something.

X2

lol
how bout a Mb 550 more of coyote/red fox trap?
