Been using 4 dozen 550 s for several years now and a dozen 650s for coyotes, also use 2 dozen 750s for beaver. These traps and the people at MT P are the best there is. |

First Coyote |
5/12/2020 |
My 12 year old son started showing interest in trapping coyote recently so I bought him a variety of new traps to get started, he caught his first coyote with this trap yesterday, these traps are easy to set and bed and did not damage the coyotes foot at all. Great trap I will be purchasing more as his trapping skills improve. |

Trappers change of heart about his beloved traps... |

I have been trapping for 42 years, and still use Northwood, Victor, Montgomery and long springs. Somehow, read up on these traps and sent for two dozen. Caught my first huge female cougar and it was there when I checked my traps and, yes, it was appropriately tagged by Game and Fish. Coyotes and bobcats attempted to flee, but stayed in the trap. Gray fox feet were not damaged so I could let them go without any harm. I will be selling my traps and replacing them with these. Oh, well, may keep a few for memories...Happy Trapping season - 11/20/2018. |

Awesome Trap. It’s a Tank |
11/1/2018 |
My opinion these are best traps built today. Strongest most rugged trap I ever used specifically used for yotes. Expensive, yes. But worth every penny. A trap that comes pre tuned, who would think that’s possible. A must have for every yote trapper to at least have a half dozen of these in their arsenal to compliment their line |

One of the best traps you can buy for the money. Put a midchain swivel on it and pair it with a super stake and you’re good to go |

Best trap on market! |
10/27/2018 |
I have tried just about every trap on the market and this one, in my opinion, is by far the best . The trap is very rugged and will hold up to the meanest coyote. The jaws are thick, with rounded edges which help to greatly reduce paw injury to target and non target species alike. The Paws-i-Trip system works like a charm and all but ensures you will have the right amount of pan tension for a secure hold. The price may seem a bit high, but this trap will last for many years on the line. |

Best Trap out there!!!! |
1/28/2018 |
Hands down best trap out of the box. Boil, wax, in the ground thats it!!! No messing with pans, dogs, night latching etc. Perfect for coyotes and cats. Caught several big coyotes by two toes and some nice cats by a toe or two. Held them like a BOSS!!! Tim Caven you got a winner with this trap. AWESOME!!! |

perfect trap |

I love these traps, the only thing that could make them better would be wire levers like the 650s. They are great either way! |

MB550 |
12/12/2017 |
Wanted a trap that was easy to get ready n good quality. Bought a dozen 550s thinking Id give them a try. Best trap ive used. A bit pricey but well worth it. I would suggest MB chain super stakes not wolf fangs tho. Wold fangs break. Held every coyote so far. |

Best Coyote Trap Ever! |
12/8/2017 |
When I bought my first MB 550 I never turned back to the old Victor brand traps I was using. The MB 550 may be more expensive but you get what you pay for, a coyote catching machine! I will definitely recommend the MB 550 to everyone I know. Thanks for making the MB traps they are a great line of traps. |

Well-built! SOLID! Great heft & feels well-made in your hand. |
6/13/2017 |
A well-built, solid item. PS: You WILL want to get coil trap setters if you get this 4-coil trap. I tried using two crescent wrenches-- they worked, but concentrated too much force to a narrow space & you could see some bending to the ears. The ears need to be grabbed as a unitas a setter would do, taking advantage of the box-strength of the full ear. Thats a fact, not a flaw, it simply exceeded the design of the trap. Again: SOLID trap. It feels well-made in your hand. |

Will be my main trap in the future. I havent had time to set a line of them yet, but just from comparing the MB550 to all my other name brand traps it sets great, and is built much better. Other then the reviews already on this page I know friends that run these traps and they perform successful. Also fast shipping all the way from Minnesota to South Georgia! Thanks |

I called Minnesota Trapline and talked to Jeff who helped me out tremendously! I got the predator starter kit with the 550s and I can say they are ready to go out of the box after the typical prep work. 2 coyotes so far in my first season and these things are working great!! I can see why these are a favorite amongst rookie and veteran trappers alike. Great people and great products. |

MB 550 |
12/17/2016 |
These traps are quickly becoming my new favorites. I have run MB650s for years but liked the cast jaw and the way these are built so i thought i would try a dozen . The more i use them the more i like them catches have all been high enough the toes are still touching the pan while holding solid in the two coil version but not damaging the foot. A smaller hole to hack out of frozen ground also a plus. They do come with a 4.5 lb pan tension on a two coil but on coyotes I think this is about right to make that perfect catch. Being smaller and more user friendly than the 650 they are becoming my go to traps another home run from MTP . |

The Best trap I have ever used |
11/28/2016 |
Bought this trap off Amazon and it is the best trap I have ever used for coyotes..I will be replacing all my old traps with the 550 |

They have it going on with this trap! |
9/13/2016 |
I thought I would buy one to see how well it was out of the box. Well, the trap runs well, but the pan tension was at 4.5lbs. Just something to look at if youre after fox also. The springs are strong.....looks like a trap that will outlast me! |

MB-550 Double-coil offset jaws |
3/21/2016 |
Well-engineered, heavy construction, with heavy chain and dog latch style anchor. Notched trigger enters set position with low profile positioning of a moderately wide pan. Action is fast. Offset jaws reduce bone fracturing and toe holds. Weight of trap further reduces likelihood of rocking when planted and adds to the durability and last of the trap. Do not reject The Best |

Theyll Hold.....No Question!!! |
2/4/2016 |
After nearly twenty years of trapping Ive finally found a trap that will replace all others. My go to land trap no matter the target. Ive been using this trap for three years now and Ive found that once it closes it holds. Ive never lost an animal or had a pull out. There is not another trap on the market that beds better. It practically beds itself. Solid!!! |

Best Trap in the business |
12/20/2015 |
When i first started trapping, i did look at other traps...then I studied each one, read reviews and spoke with several trappers. Then I held one and knew I needed it because of the way it was built and how it operated. I purchased a dozen and started trapping. They are the best made traps out there and very easy to use. Although they are expensive BUT your buying quality and you cant put a price on that. Money well spent, will have them for a lifetime. |

nice trap |

Heavy duty well built traps. I like the heavy jaws and the night latch works well. These will hold the biggest yote that comes along. Should last for years with normal care. |

MB-550 0ffset |
11/3/2015 |
Bought a dozen thinking id give them a shot. caught 17 coyotes on a 5 day trip to ND, The only issue I was able to find was one bent spring pin, other than that, the are as good as the day I pulled them out of the box. The 2 coiled version hold coyotes perfectly, no need for 4 coils. |
