Duke Coil Spring Trap No. 1 1/2

The Duke Coil Spring Trap No. 1 1/2 is a professional-grade trapping solution designed for predator and fur-bearing game control in outdoor and rural settings. This trap excels at humanely securing medium-sized game including fox, mink, nutria, and raccoon—species that require reliable restraint in property management, wildlife control, and ethical hunting operations. Built to withstand field conditions and repeated use, the Duke trap delivers consistent performance when properly set and maintained.

The trap features a 4 3/4-inch jaw spread, engineered to close with sufficient force to securely hold target species without damage to the animal or trap mechanism. The coil spring design stores energy efficiently and releases with consistent pressure, reducing misfire rates and false triggers common in poorly tensioned mechanisms. This compact footprint—measuring 5 by 4 by 7.75 inches and weighing just 1.15 pounds—makes it portable for trappers who cover extensive territories, while the robust construction resists corrosion and wear from outdoor exposure and repeated cycles.

Professional wildlife managers, agricultural operators, and licensed trappers rely on Duke traps for their predictable operation and durability across seasons. The No. 1 1/2 size bridges the gap between lighter traps suited to smaller furbearers and heavier models designed for large predators, making it versatile for mixed-species control programs. Proper placement in travel corridors, near dens, or along fence lines maximizes effectiveness; regular cleaning and light oiling extend trap life and maintain spring responsiveness for years of reliable service.
