 I worked with Bill Duke on the redesign of their #1 stoploss,it is a very good trap.All the Duke traps have been improved the last few years.I have sold quite a few Dukes to my customers,with very few complaints.
 They will work well for you.

The later model Dukes are a much improved trap. IMO they are a good value. The Duke conibears I have are very strong and well made. Although I havent tried the new model stoploss yet I really do like the wide Blake & Lamb type guard that is on them now. I believe it is a good idea to have some lower priced traps to use in high theft situations or where flood water can carry them away.
