Description
The Duke #1.75 Coil Spring Offset Foot Trap is a high-performance predator trap designed specifically for the land trapper. It balances speed, weight, and size, making it a highly effective tool for targeting fox and coyote.
Key Features
-
Offset Jaw Design: The jaws feature a built-in gap (offset) when fully closed. This allows the trap springs to remain under higher tension and provides a more secure hold by allowing for better blood flow in the animal’s foot, which reduces numbness and the urge to fight the trap.
-
Ideal Predator Size: With a 5.25-inch jaw spread, this trap is large enough to consistently catch coyotes while remaining the perfect size for fox. It fits easily into standard dirt hole or flat sets.
-
Quick-Fire Coil Springs: Powered by two strong coil springs, this trap provides the fast closing speed necessary to catch fast-moving predators, even when bedded under several inches of sifted dirt.
-
Heavy-Duty Frame: Built with a reinforced steel frame and a sturdy base plate, ensuring the trap maintains its shape and performance through repeated use in tough soil conditions.
-
Standard Trigger Assembly: Equipped with a reliable dog-and-pan system that allows for easy field adjustments and consistent firing.
