Description
The Duke #2 Coil Spring Trap is a specialized tool designed primarily for the land trapper targeting fox, coyote, and bobcat. This trap is engineered with a larger frame and a wider jaw spread to provide a significant advantage when dealing with larger, more powerful predators.
Key Features
-
Square Jaw Design: The square jaw configuration offers a larger target area and increased surface contact compared to rounded models. This design helps ensure a secure, high grip on the animal's foot.
-
Superior Closing Power: Powered by two heavy-duty coil springs, the Duke #2 provides the rapid firing speed and clamping force needed to push through heavy trap bedding or frozen soil.
-
Durable Frame Construction: Built with a reinforced steel frame and a sturdy base, this trap is designed to withstand the high-stress demands of predator trapping season after season.
-
Precision Trigger Assembly: Features a standard dog-and-pan system that is easily adjustable. This allows trappers to fine-tune pan tension to avoid firing on smaller non-target animals while remaining sensitive enough for wary predators.
-
Swiveled Anchoring: Comes equipped with a factory-attached machine link chain and heavy-duty swivels to minimize leverage and reduce the risk of equipment damage during a catch.

Application Note
The Duke #2 is widely considered an excellent choice for "dirt hole" and "flat" sets. Its size makes it particularly effective in regions where coyotes are the primary target, as the wider jaw spread provides a larger spot for the animal's foot placement, leading to more consistent results on the trap line.
