MTP Recommendation: Great coyote and fox trap and for your multi specie line.

 

The 550-CL has an outside jaw spread of 5 1/2” and an inside jaw spread of 4 3/4”. The cast jaw face is 3/8” thick. We’ve installed a Paws-I-Trip pan system and stainless steel night latch dog. Pan tension out of the box on the two coiled version runs an average of 2.5 pounds which we have found to be a very good number for a multi species trap. Pan tension on the four coiled model runs an average of 4.1 pounds. Waxing will decrease pan tension by about .3 pounds. This trap is fast and excellent results are obtained using it two coiled. We do not recommend using the 4-coiled version if grey fox is your target animal.  #3 chain, crunch proof swivels, and a 2-piece gusseted frame for strength and reliability.  The 550 is an excellent live market trap, as well as the trap to use on a mixed specie line. Small enough for fox and tough enough for the nastiest coyote.


**Disclaimer: We try our very best to source all Minnesota Brand trap parts within the USA. At times in the past we have had issues sourcing sufficient quantities of particular parts from our USA suppliers. It is very important to us to provide a USA made product but also be able to provide trappers with traps. Therefore, our Minnesota Brand Traps are fully assembled by our American crew in Pennock, Minnesota with either all USA made parts or a combination of USA and minimal foreign parts when necessary to provide product to the marketplace. The vast majority of our MB trap parts are punched just 8 miles from our shop by LFS Tool & Die Company and sufficient quantities of those parts are never an issue**


 

What is the difference between a regular and offset jaw?
When the trap is in the fired position and you are looking straight down on the trap if the jaws touch together it is a regular or closed jaw trap. If there is a gap where the jaws meet that is called an offset jaw trap.

 

What is the difference between a 2-coil or 4-coil trap?
A 2-coil trap has a pair of main springs on the same side as the dog. A 4-coil trap has a second pair of springs on the opposite side as the dog. Typically, most 4-coil springs are smaller in size than the main springs.

Quality costs less 4/15/2020
Best trap in the business. Buying less than you can afford will cost you more down the road. Students ask me all the time if different brand traps make a difference in catching animals. I tell them most of the time not the first one but having a trap that doesnt need replacing because of bent levers, frame, etc., does make a difference when youre trying to catch one after the other. MB-550s fills this requirement completely.

Quality in quantity 3/24/2020
Some traps have certain components that make them good choices. MB 550s have every component that makes them great traps. Out of the box ready, depending on your choice of anchors, this is a trap that delivers season after season. Thats quality that cant be duplicated. Made by a company that has no equal.
 
Nothing Escapes 3/5/2020
I have a lot of traps but this one is my absolute favorite. I boil them in logwood dye and soak them in wax and they have no problem catching foxes, possums, racoons, and other small game as well as coyotes. After a lot of rain with the mud hardened around the trap, they still perform and come out of the ground like a rocket. Never find these guys triggered with no game in them, they get the job done every time. Expensive but well worth the extra cost. I wont put anything else in the ground but this MB 550 Closed Jaw any more on my trapline because it delivers results.

Great Trap 2/20/2018
I have used a number of trap manufacturers leg hold traps for Coyote and MB are by far the best! Traps are made indestructible! Nice high leg holds that I missed with other traps. Jaws are thick and springs are so strong I need tools to set. I will not buy any other trap!
