Does anyone else run these and prefer them over 110's? I just like the slightly wider and taller opening. Seems to fit better in some trails and runs. Bought myself another 2 dozen the other day.

Replaced all my #110s with 'em. Fit the KB stabiizer perfectly.

I have 15 dozen. They are absolutely great for under ice muskrat, but we also are using them for marten now (second season of seriously trying them) and I am personally undecided if it was a good idea. I grossly prefer working with single spring traps, and the increased jaw size is a plus in my mind. It is hard to quantify if fewer refusals or not, but they make me happy. My concern is potentially increased fur damage from kill times (over a 120) and tbh I haven't really observed it. I had live marten in 120s before with poor catches, so it pretty much came down to getting a good hit anyways and with a good strike the 150's kill just fine.

I just didnt like owning so many small traps for marten that were completely worthless for anything else, because there is no way I am ever fussing with 2 springs when setting them for rats. Also it really is so much nicer to work with single spring traps even when marten trapping.

I like the idea of em, just not the execution.

I have 4 dozen 155's loaded up for Marten and Fisher opener Saturday. I always ran BMI 120's but bought these 6-7 years ago and am just now getting around to trying them.


I have nothing clever to put here.
