Description
The Duke #4 Coil Spring Trap is a heavy-duty, large-frame trap engineered for professional trappers targeting powerful furbearers. Designed for strength and stability, this model is a top choice for managing coyote, bobcat, and beaver in various terrain and weather conditions.
Key Features
-
Large Target Area: The wide jaw spread provides a substantial "step zone," increasing the likelihood of a high, secure grip on the animal's foot. This makes it particularly effective for wide-stepping predators like coyotes.
-
Square Jaw Design: The square jaws offer more surface contact than traditional round models, providing a more reliable hold and reducing the chances of a pull-out.
-
Superior Closing Speed: Driven by two high-tension coil springs, the Duke #4 is designed to fire rapidly through thick trap bedding, mud, or snow, ensuring the jaws clear the cover instantly.
-
Reinforced Frame: Built with a heavy-duty steel frame and a thick base plate to withstand the high leverage and physical stress of large, struggling predators without warping or losing alignment.
-
Adjustable Trigger System: Features a traditional dog-and-pan assembly that can be field-adjusted for pan tension. This allows for precision targeting of larger animals while minimizing triggers from smaller non-target species.
