Wondering if anyone has used 4-coil conversion kits, and how they worked. You can find an example at www.murrayslures.com/custom.html

check with Tom on here ,i believe he carries them or can get them for you. I would recommend only four coiling nbr 3 ect for canines or bvr. Anything below that in size is taken care of with good new music wire springs. Any more questions fire away.

they are called Beefer kits. you can get them to fit different trap types. I have 4 coiled my Lynx and Coyote soft catch traps and found that they work very well.
Cheers

I didn't see the benefit of them for many years, then bought some 1.75 4.4s this past year and was very impressed with the stout springs and how balanced the trap fired, and hold I got on yotes with them. I may convert many of my 2-springed coils now over to 4 coils if it will help them perform like these did.
I agree with rdfox though that they probably aren't all that necessary for smaller game animals and smaller trap sizes. I've seen articles on them used for #1 coils on coon even, so possibilities are endless...
