I have some of both. It's like having a Lamborghini and a Ferrari. I don't know which one I like better. They are both awesome. I want to invest in more which ones do you guys prefer

If cats are intended target also, Jake'shave a larger pan. But I don't want to fool with rubber jaw and have a coon chew them up.im going with Sterling.

Sterling 600s. I never really liked the jakes. I don’t really think you can compare the two.Both are well made traps but they are very different in so many ways.

Between these two....Jakes for me. And the reason is versatility. ...adjustable pan, the rubber jaws are tough and can at times gain you access into certain areas....just my take.

I have never owned a Jake so have no comparison, but love the Sterling 600s I have.

Jakes for me as well. Built like a tank.

X2. We are lucky to have such good equipment. I love how a 600 bed's. I love how a Jake fills up a walk through. All my traps are for sale except my Sterling's and Jake's.
