Duke Coil Spring Trap Offset Jaw No. 1 3/4

The Duke Coil Spring Trap Offset Jaw No. 1 3/4 is a professional-grade steel trap designed for serious trappers targeting medium-sized predators including bobcat, coyote, and fox. Built with offset jaws and a 5 1/4" jaw spread, this trap delivers the precision and holding power required for effective field work. Whether you're managing wildlife on rural property or conducting professional predator control, this Duke model combines proven engineering with reliable performance that has made Duke traps an industry standard for decades.

The offset jaw design is engineered to distribute clamping force more evenly across the animal's limb, reducing escape risk while minimizing injury compared to straight-jaw alternatives—a critical consideration for both ethical trapping and field results. The coil spring mechanism provides consistent, reliable trigger sensitivity in varying weather and temperature conditions, ensuring the trap activates reliably when set correctly. The No. 1 3/4 sizing strikes the ideal balance for the target species; the 5 1/4" jaw opening accommodates coyote and bobcat leg diameter without excessive bulk, while remaining compact enough for strategic placement in den approaches and travel corridors.

This trap suits experienced trappers, wildlife management professionals, and landowners who understand proper setup, local regulations, and ethical handling. Success depends on correct anchoring, appropriate bait or lure selection, and field location knowledge—factors where this Duke trap's mechanical reliability removes doubt. At 1.3 lbs and compact dimensions, it's portable enough for multi-location traplines yet sturdy enough to withstand repeated use and outdoor exposure. Always verify local trapping seasons, licensing requirements, and species regulations before deployment.
