This past rain had the traps sanded in, I haven't had that happen in a while. Maybe I'll have some pictures to post tomorrow. "TO BE THE MAN, YOU GOTTA BEAT THE MAN" RIC FLAIR

BREEZE1 10 point Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 3,026 Oak Grove	Yeah it's a #2 duke. I pulled them and laminated the jaws with 3/16 rod today. Maybe that will stiffen them up some to. I should have stepped up to bridgers or something. Just starting out I went cheap. I won't buy no more of them. Last edited by BREEZE1; 02/20/16 02:39 PM.

You just weld a bubble on the end of the jaw tip. That or buy some better traps! Lol! Sorry dude I have a few duke traps that I've acquired over the years. I just hate they aren't built better.
