Description
The Duke #1.75 Coil Spring Foot Trap is a versatile and reliable choice for land trappers, specifically sized to target fox, coyote, and bobcat. This model is favored for its balance of a compact frame and a generous jaw spread, allowing for easy bedding without sacrificing holding power.
Key Features
-
Optimal Jaw Spread: The 5.25-inch jaw spread provides a large enough target area for consistent catches on wary predators while remaining small enough to be easily concealed in dirt hole or flat sets.
-
Standard Closed Jaws: Unlike offset models, these standard steel jaws meet fully when closed, providing a traditional and secure grip on the target species.
-
Fast Firing Speed: Driven by two high-tension coil springs, this trap is designed to fire quickly through various types of cover, ensuring a high grip even in freezing or muddy conditions.
-
Rugged Construction: Built with a durable steel frame and reinforced components to withstand the stress of a struggling predator and the elements of a long trapping season.
-
Adjustable Pan System: Features a reliable dog-and-pan assembly that can be tuned to the desired pan tension, helping to prevent the firing of the trap by smaller, non-target animals.
