1....no both fox and coons have been held. 2.... Two coil is how I roll...no paw damage 3....use pan screens instead of under all's and it will trip with a direct step... 4....2 coil is all I use and the off set jaws will hold the Titanic afloat!

I prefer closed jaws for cats. Other then that either style is good in my experience. I have been using the 550's since they have been produced.
What would be wrong with using offset jaws for bobcats?

Agree with two coil over four, But not so much as for holding, Over the years, I've seen where an early season cold would crust the ground just enough to have a lot of misses with two coil traps, slower ? Never had a problem with two coils for nuisance work in warm weather.

650 has adjustable pan tension. So out of the box they could be 2, 3,4 even 5lbs. Just depends how tight they got the bolt the day mtp built the trap.
