Generally I am not a fan of rubber jaws, but the man who designed these traps nailed it. The rubber lasts next to forever and they prevent all movement of the foot in trap preventing damage and escape. I use them for coyotes, fox and raccoon and have yet to walk up on an empty trap circle.

I say that because most states will say offset with lam.s or rubber pads...that’s BMP study info. But no matter 52Carl hit it on the head...don’t use the Jake without the pads.

It made a lot of sense to go that route.
