Duke 550 Pro Series Coil Spring Trap - Offset

42 Reviews

I've added a total of (21) Duke 550 Pro Series traps to my line. I really like the quality of how these are made. I added a middle crunch proof swivel which is not necessary, just a personal preference. I also adjusted the pans to around 3 lbs of pan tension by slightly bending the dogs with a trappers bender where necessary, as well as adjusted the pans to sit flat after tweaking the dogs. Not much is needed, and these can be used without fine tuning them. On the first night running the Duke 550 traps, I caught a nice female coyote using Caven's Hiawatha Valley Predator Bait, Dobbins Tri-Nitro Lure, and coyote urine with a dirt hole set. The trap held the animal perfectly. These are outstanding traps for the price!

Heavy duty and I love the night latch

Great trap I wished we had them when I was younger. I think this is the best trap I have ever owned. It is to bad furs are so low in prices.

Awsome trap. 99 over all. Caught a red fox on the first night. Not super easy on red fox. Cut skin a little bit.

Very pleased with these traps. Good quality and tough. Well made. Not as much work for these traps to be ready as normal, user friendly.

Great trap. Don’t know why I have not swapped to these from regular coil spring traps.

I own alot of traps and when you step up to the professional traps it is amazing. The only trap I will ever use from now on!

Great trap for a reasonable price. Pretty tough trap. I have been very pleased with this traps performance. Considerably less expensive than similar traps

Love it , using for drowning sets for beavers, easy on non target animals, still enough holding power .

Just an all-around beefy tank of a trap love the cast of Jaws basically the same as MB 550 except I love the bigger square pan

I love these trap they are built like a rock. I will be ordering more of them.

Just got my order today everything looks good the 550 look like a good trap going to use it for coyotes like the night latch

these are perfect size for trapping bob cats and fox, made great and very durable

Caught my first coyote with this trap. Night latch is a must.

I’m giving 4 stars just because I haven’t used the Duke 550 yet. It certainly appears to be well built and able to handle western New York coyotes. Only time will tell.

My go to trap for almost everything I trap from raccoons to coyotes. Ready to go with no modifications.

Easy to set, and already on my trap line!

Trap seems very well built and assembled. All parts are strong. This trap seems beefier than any of my others. I’m excited to get it set out!

These traps are sturdy and strong.

Works great. Easy trigger. Great construction

Nice looking traps! Big pan also. Easy to use just needs a little tweeking for your preference and it’s ready to go after dying and waxing

Bought these traps to give theM a try. Painted them and took them straight to the farm. 2 day later had a coyote did not bend very tough traps! My new go to!

I absolutely love this trap. I really can't say anything bad about it.

I have been using these traps for 3 months now. So far I have caught 8 coyotes on them. Great pad catches and they hold really well. The offset jaws seem to do a good job of not damaging.
Factory night latch was 3.5 to 4.5 lbs, with a little filing I set them to 2.5 to 3 lbs.

I have 8 or so MB550 so I thought I'd try these Duke traps. They are solid and identical to MB550 but with a bigger pan. Cheaper price too.

Solid, works well & I like the night latch

They are working great and will post pictures shortly

Very pro

Well constructed trap, caught coyote and beaver.

Seem to be good solid trap so far. I have had six in the dirt and have made 5 catches with them. All 12 I purchased needed pan tension adjustment. They are set way to heavy out of the box in my opinion. Will probably be purchasing more in the future, time will tell if they keep up to my MB550s.
