Duke 550 Pro Series Coil Spring Trap - Offset

20 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!

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.

Works great for coyote and Bobcats

What a well built Duke this trap was almost perfect out of the box just a little tweaking on the dog and that was all! Great trap Duke y’all nailed it...

Tried one from a friend. Getting rid of my others going straight Duke 550 Pro Series.

well made. and strong. sets flat.when set does it job well. another satisfied customer of fleming traps i love all there products.

The Duke 550 seems to be a nice trap for the money. Right out of the box it was around 5lb pan tension but to be honest I'm fine with that tension, mainly targeting coyotes. I did replace the swivels but that was not a must. All in all for the money there is not a thing wrong with this trap and I will order more.

Great build, very sturdy. I like the square pan. Needs some adjusting out of the box. The pan sets a little high on some and the pan tension was about 5lbs on most of mine.

Is it an MB550? No, but if the difference in price means that you can get traps in the ground it is more than adequate. It’s quite an upgrade from the Duke #2.

Beautiful trap for yotes. I have only good things to say, have not had any problems.

I ordered the duke 550 pro traps, and boy am i glad I did. I orderd some traps from another company before I ordered from you guys. Thoughts traps was crap. the trigger for the trap wasn't even on the the traps.

These are my new go to traps! I dont think anyone can touch Bill Duke for the price that these go for. So far I have caught and held two coyote and two boar coon. MB has some competition now for sure!!

Very nicely made. I have a couple of small problems with them but they are not MB-550s and are not prices as high either, so I would complain.

This trap is built very well and feels beefy. The only problem is the pan tension is very high (almost 5Lbs). This should be checked from the factory. Not very user-friendly for the beginner Trapper.
