Im still using CDR's and MB750's but always had and liked liked Bridger #5's as well.. Ive actually been looking at the dogless wanting to order a few to try... I can say this, Ive talked to a few trappers lately that do use them and they all to a T said they loved them

We beaver trappers today have got some top notch foothold traps to choose from.

They are a great trap! Only complaint is I can't set them by hand like I can my 750s and ts85s. But I guess strong springs is a good problem to have.

Yea we do, and all of them are good traps for the most part.. ..
Ive noticed that MB750's are stronger now than they were back when I firsts started buying them. I had a real old one that I bought a new set of springs for last week. I thought at first they had sent me wolf springs but apparently Tim upgraded the springs.. They have 4- #2 music wire springs on them now that are a lot stronger than the old ones.. I caught a beaver the next day in that trap and it was locked up like it was welded...
