Description
The Duke #2 Coil Spring Trap with Offset Jaws is a rugged and reliable land trap specifically designed for the professional predator trapper. Built to handle the strength of coyotes and bobcats, this model incorporates a jaw gap that provides mechanical advantages for a more secure and effective hold.
Key Features
-
Offset Square Jaws: The jaws are designed with a 3/16-inch gap when fully closed. This offset allows the springs to remain under higher tension and provides a wider surface area that reduces the risk of numbness in the animal’s foot, leading to less fighting and a more secure grip.
-
Increased Strike Area: The square jaw design provides a larger "kill zone" than traditional round jaws, increasing the likelihood of a high, solid catch when a predator steps on the pan.
-
Rapid Firing Action: Powered by two heavy-duty coil springs, this trap is engineered to fire with enough speed and force to clear thick trap bedding, frozen crust, or heavy soil.
-
Heavy-Duty Construction: Features a reinforced steel frame and a thick base plate to maintain structural integrity under the high stress of a struggling coyote or bobcat.
-
Tension-Adjustable Trigger: The standard dog-and-pan system is easily adjustable, allowing you to set specific pan tension to target larger predators while avoiding smaller, non-target species.
