Description
The Duke #1 Coil Spring Double Jaw Trap is a specialized tool designed primarily for harvesting small furbearers in areas where high animal activity or potential chew-outs are a concern. The double jaw design provides an added layer of security by preventing animals from gaining leverage against the primary jaw.
Key Features
-
Double Jaw Design: Features a secondary "inner" jaw that sits just below the main jaw. This prevents the animal from reaching the trapped limb to chew, and provides more surface area to ensure the foot stays securely in place.
-
Compact Frame: The small footprint makes it an excellent choice for tight pocket sets, blind sets, or trail sets where space is limited.
-
Responsive Trigger: Equipped with a standard plated pan and a reliable dog-and-notch system that allows for fine-tuned tension settings.
-
Durable Construction: Built with steel components and powered by two high-tension coil springs that ensure a fast, clean strike even in muddy or underwater conditions.
-
Swiveled Chain: Comes standard with a factory-attached chain and swivel to help reduce stress on the animal and the equipment once the trap is sprung.

Application Note
This trap is particularly effective for water-trapping applications. The added weight of the double jaw helps the trap stay submerged and provides the necessary hold for smaller, high-energy predators.
