Duke

[@raydowdy6914]

Really enjoy the trap modification videos. I wax my 110s also

[@martinmackett2758]

Great Video, informative and you delivered all the information without a load of unnecessary waffle. Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@robanderson2296]

Very good information Todd. Thanks. I wasn't aware of the side pressure on the trigger firing a waxed 110. Keep the tips coming.

[@pmtips4482]

I like that sensitive trigger action, especially for tree sets for squirrels. Thanks!

[@bolgerlake]

Thanks for this video. you've just saved me some money, I was about to buy new triggers. I haven't had this issue with new duke 110s, but the older models I bought used had this issue. Thanks again!

[@timzeafla7678]

I noticed that on my Duke 160s, the trigger is the same with the travel issue. Thanks for the tip!

[@thebackwardstrapper]

Great info. I have had this problem as well were the mink will walk in and my trigger is about level and not set off.The waxing is ok but i figured out that F1 dye works just as well

Excellent Mod👍

[@barrymcockener2209]

Thank you! I'm brand new to this and the notch being oversized was bothering me. Couldn't figure it out till now.

[@donaldtownsend3789]

[@garytaylor623]

great video,,thanks for the tips..

[@cbeebr]

Well done video!

[@johnbsys1846]

We been waxing ours for years the only ones we dont are the 330s beaver and otter are pigs coming through the shut I've yet to have a 330 fail to catch

[@charliewright6823]

Are the 110’s ok for catching rabbits

[@hennytucker1646]

that a really good tip thanks ? 155 to?

[@toddstrohecker]

I’ve never worked with a 155 but if the trigger is similar I bet it would. I’ll pick one up at the next convention I go to and check it out.

[@g.alistar7798]

Do you think this same principle of a nail to. Make it sensitive will work on 220 or 330 traps?

[@toddstrohecker]

It should. Use a slightly larger diameter nail

[@tripplebeards3427]

I know they are too small for raccoons…but…if it was left that way would it beneficial to leave it that way and turn the trap around? That way a bigger animal like a raccoon would get its head pretty far into it before snapping?

[@tripplebeards3427]

I have experimented very little with them so. It seems if I set them with the dog in the front I get a “suitcase” and if I set it with the dog in the rear I get a head and neck catch with small varmints.

[@toddstrohecker]

That may have some merit. Not all of them have this issue though.

[@tripplebeards3427]

@@toddstrohecker I have a couple a bought last week. They both have alot of movement of the dog both ways. "I didn't think???" ..Neither of them had any "slop" till i caught a couple of animals in them. My guess is they were always that way and I had it set inside or middle catch. The outside catches on both brand new duke 110s have alot of slop. I did have a couple of misses and I am sure it's what caused the misses.

[@keithcampbell8363]

How again does the waxing help ?

[@toddstrohecker]

It makes trigger fire with very little pressure.

[@David-kg1hc]

Would fix n wax work for this?

[@toddstrohecker]

Anything that provides lubrication should work

[@jasonturner1136]

Does anyone know if the belisle in the 110 size will fit the same diameter pipe?

[@widerivercc]

It will not due to the shape of the jaws. I made the mistake of buying them for that reason. The belisles also have trouble when used in a Noonan style stabilizer. So much tension on the trigger that it takes quite a bit of force to fire them. Get some dukes or Bridgers for setting in drain tile.

[@georgezink8256]

Waxing makes them snap shut faster also

[@toddhertzog5411]

Paraffin or bees wax?

[@toddstrohecker]

I just use commercial trap wax.

[@toddhertzog5411]

@@toddstrohecker Okay, thank you for replying. So, it appears that paraffin or beeswax is okay. I did not know if paraffin wax would create a deterrent odor.
