Was just wondering if they are still at it ? The last time I tried to buy some traps I just gave up and went with another brand that was available. ( 330's )

If you like strong 330s, BMI is no longer the way to go

LOL!




If getting 330s, check out their BT300 line. As far as non-belisle 330s, those are the only ones I buy.



Also ask if any magnum jaw large traps are available if interested

The new BMI 330's I bought had exactly the same spring strength, on a scale, as the old Pioneers I bought in 1980. They were less than half the strength what new Belisle's and new Dukes were. I could set them on my knee, while in a sitting position, without hardly leaning in to them. If you like them that weak, go for it, they are a well built trap otherwise. But traps get weaker after use, and traps that weak are notorious for giving conibear burns on the backs of beaver.

Goldy,

I wonder if you got a bad batch of springs on your traps. The last BMI 330's I bought had very strong springs. Wish they were just a bit weaker.

Don't know. I sent them back. They just refunded my money. They had good service anyway.
