From Bill-“We expect to start shipping the 850-OS October 1st. The 850-FJ will be in November.”

[@AnthonyRubeoOutdoors]

Awesome 👌 👌 👌 👌

[@Chronicle_Randomness]

The only reason i dont buy the duke pro series traps is because im pretty certain they are made in China, compared to the Minnesota brand traps that are made in America.

[@jakehembree3859]

Duke traps donated DP traps to all the kids that attended the Alabama game and fish trapping class. We buy Duke traps.

[@willythomas584]

Looks like a solid trap. I wouldn’t have a use for it in Ohio. Coyote is the largest game we have in my area. It’s great having Duke value your channel as a positive influence on them. With me getting back into trapping after several years you’re channel has refreshed my mind and some good memories. God Bless you my friend…. Thanks for sharing!

[@bmk506]

Go with the 550

Great beaver trap

[@stevedingman474]

Nice 👍🏾 if they’d open gray wolves to trapping in Iowa

You deserve the special ride! Glad they did that for you. Thanks for all you’ve done for trapping!

[@earllemming6103]

Can't wait til season openers!! Keep the videos coming! Glad to see you getting the recognition you deserve

[@ratedredneck96]

Bill sent me half a dozen 650 traps and i absolutely love them. If he doesnt already offer them seperate they need to sell those massive swivels as upgrades for the other pro series traps. Id love to get some of them swivels on my 650 traps, they look like they would absolutely destroy the crunch proofs in a strength test. Bill is such a great guy, always smiling lol leading innovation in trapping right there! The pro series traps are no joke

[@johnlejeune5086]

Glad to see your trapping channel back up. Enjoyed your fishing channel, but I trap more than I fish. Either way, keep up the good work.

[@kritterkatcher1486]

Picked up a few 550 Dukes this year and their pro-series traps are awsome construction!! Tell Bill they are doing some good things with their traps. They are hitting all the boxes on my checklist and are ready to go out of the box, even down to the nightlatch!!

[@huntnfishnuts5880]

Picked up 2 dozen duke 550’s for this season looking forward to using them, there a solid product.

[@bigfootoutdoors90]

Sure would be nice if we could use those in pa for beaver!

[@bbcustomoutdoors]

I may have to look at these. I like my ts 85’s for beaver, but I really like a cast jaw. I think they are less painful for the critter and the hold the same, if not better!

[@isLife-nn5yl]

Any speculation that the new Duke Pro series was made to undercut the MB line? There was another video comparing the 2 and I know it has been heated with my trapping friends in IL. Just the difference of a trap made in the states vs one made overseas. Bottom line, both brands get the job done.

[@christopherw4527]

If you dig a bit deep, you'll find that the MB jaws are still cast in taiwan. You missed the big scandal that popped up a couple years ago.

[@ggdd8874]

Looks like that trap would hold most black bear . Set for wolf and release bears LOTS OF FUN

[@stillwater62]

I wish North Carolina would allow leghold traps larger than 7 1/2 " for beaver. I would love to use the TS-85 and this beast of a trap the 850, both have a jaw spread of 8 1/2 ", an inch too much for North Carolina.

[@redbaron7710]

Pretty cool experience! That 850 is a monster looking trap!

[@billc3405]

Bill Duke you should up grade your 160 body trap. I know it can not be the the same trap that Canada certified for raccoon. If it is the Canadian trap Certification amounts to nothing of reality. The 160 body trap the only trap I ever bought manufactured by duke trap and will be the last.

[@sonyawebb1925]

I had to tack weld my 160s . They were coming apart out of the box !

[@travish4045]

Duke's traps were made in Korea, but now some are made in China not sure that's going to help quality.....

[@billc3405]

@@travish4045 to be honest I dont think Bill Duke cares. Quality is not his goal its quantity. If his so called wolf trap is priced under $100 it will I guarantee will not be of the quality needed for wolves

Glad to see those with a conventional pan and mechanism. Won't have to keep up with a special trap setter

Awesome I've been wanting to make the switch since alabama went to 6in for land trapping. Definitely ordering the 850s asap.

[@t.g_buffington]

I can’t use the 650s on dry land. The biggest I can use on dry land is a bridger #2 and duke #3. But I can use those 850s in water! I will legally have to have them offset tho so imma buy the wolf model

[@shanek6582]

Man that 850 is nice! I’ve got to go look up if I can use them in Tennessee now, I want some.

[@duckbuster27526]

Any talk of 750's in the pro series? Cant use 850's that I'm aware of in my state. Have a few of the 550's and 650's for predators. Looks like may have to stick with MB's for beaver right now with their 750's.

[@jordancamp2305]

The 550 pro is good and the Duke #2-#3 dogless is good, but why won't they make the dogless trap with laminate jaws?!

[@floydlenz2280]

I'm stoked to see those come out.. I don't set many beaver traps but I'm always looking for a better way to do it.. Those look great ! Thanks for the info Amigo..

I’m gearing up for wolves here in north Idaho for the first time. Luckily I have a mentor who’s put up a lot of wolf fur. Years of coyotes and bobcats under my belt but this is a whole new ballgame and it’s not cheap! A lot of heavy metal to buy and a lot of fuel and time off the beaten path. I like what I see and hear about the Duke 850 os, cant wait to fondle one myself, a trapper needs dependable gear at a good price.

[@birddogbriar4335]

I caught coyote on the 550 last year any they worked great. That 650 is a damn beast though.

[@jrrevolt688]

I might have to get a few of those. Here in MI those would be awesome if our wolf season comes back. And if not beaver beware

Solid looking traps and i like those big pans. From the looks of them it seems like they just almost eliminate the need for pan covers to...almost.

@Patrick Henry I am sure that Duke is aware of the regs we have to follow so why make a 8 1/2" trap we can't use like the TS85 we already have and can't use? MB 750 and Bridger #5 are what we are currently limited to.

Congratulations you deserve it.

[@willlothridge3197]

Where are they manufactured?

[@luckytrapper7656]

Very nice looking trap, very beefy. It looks like it will work great for wolf and lion. To use that trap as a beaver trap is way over kill. Any hard-core beaver trapper knows that you don't need to use a trap that big. I use Bridger #3 dogless traps and never missed one yet. Well I lost one due to a chew out. My opinion is that anyone that needs to use a trap that big for beaver is either a sloppy trapper or a trapper that does not know what he or she is doing. Not only that but the weight of that trap in its self doesn't make it efficient for trapping beaver unless you're only walking a very short distance.

[@armaankhan3960]

Sir, keeping at least how much weight on this trap locks it.

[@stevenstrout2393]

How about someone make a trap between a 550 and 450 as 550s are to harsh on fox and 450 are not big enough for coyotes

[@frankmyers7526]

I believe the Glen sterling, made a mj500 5 inch trap!! Frank

[@stevenstrout2393]

@@frankmyers7526 I understand but there is very few if any places where a trapper is not going to encounter coyotes on their fox line.so I guess it is kinda senseless to make a trap for just fox and say it will hold coyotes. My opinion is it is better to catch coyotes but to be less harsh on fox.

They copied Minnesota Trapline products 550. They didn't even change the name. It's a cheap knockoff of the American made 550 by Minnesota Trapline products. Duke spent nothing on research and development when he shamefully copied the Minnesota Trapline products 550 design, but like all knockoffs it can't compare to the quality of the original MTP 550. I work at Minnesota Trapline products and I personally know the guys that build the MB 550. They are decent, patriotic, hard working Americans with families. Any jaws with cast imperfections are rejected and discarded. Each trap is set and hand tuned . The quality control and attention to detail is unmatched.

I plan to buy some 650s but make no mistake kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth Duke has been copying other manufacturers traps for years started out way back when they copied the Victor number 3 then they copied the Duke number 2 then the Duke number to dog less then the MB 550
