Dukes are not entirely junk. I have found that the #1.5 make an ok trotline weight.

Duke traps are "cost effective" for me ...the cheaper the price the more I can put out on my line. Like said before bubble weld jaw tips and maybe tack weld baseplates. A 1.5 coilspring in East Tx. will hold a mangy yote to bobcats with no problem.

the 1.5 is a great coon, mink, rat trap and will hold the occasional Love of hucks live, the coyote, the 1.75 will hold a yote with little problems, and I aint talkin them little things out west that ya'll call yotes, I am talkin the eastern wannabe wolfs we have ;D the #110 mags are great for mink and rats. the #120's will lay a coon out for those of you that can't use anything bigger on land then a 5x5, like us I would have to say that over 90% of my traps are dukes, and if one gets stolen I aint out that much, unlike back in the 80's, when my entire line of B&L's got stolen

YEP There junk!!!! I have done every thing I can think of to them and they still to this day will not hold them dang pink elephants!!!
I think they are a good enough trap, they do need some mods for coyotes I think, but for fox and coon I think they are fine.

A little mod work and sanding they will work but there longevity is not good. They dont take alot of abuse without being sprung out of shape. Jaws bend levers twist. They are in my opinion a work in progress. LOL
