Looks like you get what you pay for. They look kinda weak. The review also states that.

Just save your money and get Belile. You owe it to yourself and the animals you’re looking to harvest. You can buy a dozen Belile’s at once and save yourself some money.

Half the price, half the trap, in this instance anyway.
Take care of them and good traps, especially Belisle good, hold their value incredibly well.

I don't know anything about the wolf creeks, but you sure don't need a $31 conibear to kill a beaver. A Duke does the same thing for a lot less money.


Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

If the beaver is caught by the neck Yes. caught by the tail or leg No a duke does not do the same thing.

I assume $$$ is important for this to be asked.

The three lowest I see online are the wolfcreek which look like the Chinese FPS trap that was around for a minute. It looks suspect to me and I'm a user of the wolf creek dogless traps.

Next is the Rudy out of Canada. A known name if not common, looks good and sold by a reputable company. Edges out Dukes by just a few dollars.

Then the Dukes.

Switch out the #330 Duke dog with a Belisle dog
& you will have near complete jaw closure to get
those accidental tail or leg captures.

Add an Adirondax stainless circle trigger to
the duke and they are even more deadly.

Duke makes magnums too, I believe. Personally I don't care for them. I like my fingers.
I have caught a lot of muskrats in Duke traps by tails and legs, however.

It has little to do with killin'

Rather feature(S that are valuable to a trapper

1. safety hooks that stay where you put them. even while setting underwater. Safe!!!

2. springs cannot twiste around corner. Speeds up set time. xtra time saved is valuable.

3. Holding power from dog design = complete closure of jaws. = more catchs = more to sell.

Seems like we went down the path of killing elegantly. I retracted my previous post.
Killing is killing. I have zero problems with how anyone does it. Bottom dollar or fancy traps that meet any standard.

I have one of those belises. Hard to stabilize, trigger doesn't function correctly, safety hooks don't work any better than normal ones after some use. I quit using it.
