testing the Duke 850's against the other traps
Спорт
tested the duke 850 against a bridger #5 and the ts85's . even with 2 of the springs removed to make it easier to set , it blew the others away . i have to give credit to trapper j with him setting them by hand . i had to stand on the levers to set it before i took 2 springs off .

Just buy a set of Bernie Nelson's setters. They'll set pretty much everything. The NO BS Wolf Xtreme is a tougher trap to set, but Bernie's setters make them as easy as any other trap.

Enjoyed the comparison. I’ve not used the 850 yet but have seen some. They sure seem to be a beast of a trap.

they are about 6 pounds each and drown quickly . in the 4coiled trap i needed setters , when i took 2 coils off i could set them on my leg in the canoe and they are still fast and strong .
I just got two brand new MB-750's and they seem very nice, all around. Duke traps are well built, just got done adjusting some

try a TS85 . you will love them if you can use a trap legally with that big of jaw spread . i like the duke 850 and katz brothers TS85's . the TS85's are just easier to set
Damn that's a beast of a trap may just may have to get one. TIGHT CHAINS Brotha.

get a pair of setters if you plan to use it . i had to stand on the levers to set it . i watched trapper j set them by hand , he must be as stout ad a bull . this one can get away from you quick if you make a mistake .
Wow! My old butt couldn’t set that thing lol Even in a two coil. But I like the speed of it! 😊👍👍👍👏

I got my box of 850's in yesterday. I opened them up to look at them . They sent the offset jaws not regular jaws. I could have picked the offset up when i was down there. I was hoping to have them to put out this week. They are sending them out today. With pre paid postage to ship other traps back with. Them 850 are some tanks. I have Bridger #5 DLS and coilspring. I like the looks of the 850's the best.. Heavy cast jaws big pan.

I like my duke 330s, but for foothold, that TS85 is my favorite. Nice and easy to set, and its made in Minnesota!

the TS85 is one of the best traps out there for beaver . i plan on trying some beaver extremes . 330 maniac has switched to using them . i want a couple to try out .
Impressive. I have not met this trap in person yet. I'm looking forward to meet it! I like the wide jaws....too bad they are not off set a little.

the setters i bought work pretty good , solid as a tank and easy tu use . i would love to find some one handed setters for the duke 850's . then i will run them as 4 coil .like this video has shown the duke 850's are stronger and faster than the other 2 popular beaver traps . i caught a beaver in one today over 60 pounds . the 2 coil held it solid .
Nice looking traps

some traps are just hard to set . i bought some setters for the 850's but are still a beast to set . running them 2 coil and still holding big beaver . good luck with the 750 . they do have a great lock up .
They are a nice trap I just don't think a man needs to go that big to catch beaver in my opinion, I got my first beaver in my TS-85 today. And don't get me wrong hey they are fast and got a lot of holding power. When I was young one of my mentors who taught me to trap caught 100s of beaver in a northwoods 1 3/4 coil spring trap he had about 6 of em and he caught beaver every day ! He would annually put up 60 to 80 beaver every year! cheers
That's a big one!
