I would definetly go with magnums. One extra beaver held with the full closure jaws will more than cover the extra cost. Ever once in a while I accidentaly catch one by the foot or tail in one. Without the bent jaws of the magnum style, you would never hold them.

Does anyone know how to modify older traps to have a kill bar or modify the jaws to close more tightly?

A 330 is a 330. ALL will do the job if the triggers are tuned and the springs are strong. But..IMO the ultimates are the Belisles. They PANCAKE the beaver. If you have never used one...you just can't appreciate what I'm saying..LOL. If you use them...you know what I'm talking about.
Their spring safety hooks are the best system out there. Ran Duke 330's and Belisle's side by side on the beaver line a few weeks ago, and there is no comparison. If you have the $ the Belisles are the way to go. No struggle, just dead!

Keep in mind that fimgers , hands and arms caught in magnums don't come out as easily as they do in a regular trap. If you trap by yourself you need to take this into consideration.

I know a fella that was trapping bank beaver with some 330s He set the trap under water and reached down to place some guide sticks. Somehow he bumped the trigger and it "bit" him around the forearm.. You can't take a 330 off with one hand. He had to walk back to his truck and drive to a local conveince store and have a couple fellas there get him outta the trap. He'll get picked on about that till the day he dies.. LOL

Any #330's I buy now are Belisle's. I still have some of everything from over the years, but I sure like those Belisle's, except the price!

I agree with you here, and for that reason, I use safety setters on all 330's Magnum or otherwise.
