Beast of a trap. If you like dogless traps, there hard to beat for durability, and price. American made to boot!! I have caught a far share of cats in mine.

 

I’ve got 3 dozen. They’re REALLY stout. Heavy too.. I run them with super stakes on chains. Never had a pull out. Very very fast. And the fact that there powder coated is awesome. Back when I had time to trap, I was just boiling them and setting…. Use the screens he sells that go for them. Awesome setup

 

I looked at them several times, never have used them. The weight was my concern. Not because they were too heavy for me to carry, but maybe too heavy to be dangling from a grey fox’s foot. Some canines are pretty docile after getting hooked up, others go haywire. I questioned what might become of a fox’s foot/ leg with a heavy trap attached.

 

I can't remember catching a grey fox in a Jr, but have caught a few in Jake's. Very pleased with them, and they are just about as heavy, if not heavier than a JR. I just dont think they can manipulate a larger trap like a N.O. BS or a Jake like they can some other brands.

I haven't caught great numbers of them though to see if that's the truth or not. My MB550s it's a 60/40 shot what your going to walk up to.

 

In my very limited rookie experience, I love em

 

tell ya what Beagler, you take me on a guided cat calling trip this winter, and I’ll give you a few to try hahaha

 

Only negative comment I've read about them was some guys had issues with heavy pan tension/trying to lighten

 

If your targeting fox not cats or coyotes, I wouldn’t recommend them

 

Thats my only complaint about the Jr or the Extreme. The use a Phillips head screw, that is very easy to round out. With the big heavy pan on them you gotta run pan tension or your going to have sore fingers. Trust me!!

 

I ordered two JR's from F n T to see what I think. Have enough of MB550's for fox but do target cats/yotes depending on location.
