Bought 2 doz. XTREME JRs. Last year at convention and love em the best built tuffest trap out there. On on the inside lams you have to actually set them in the night latch cuz the dog shelf is to wide and wont click down, dont know if there all like that but not a big deal to me. Peace.
Todd Caskey yes, I learned a lot! Location selection, gear selection, trap placement, set construction, skinning, fleshing and stretching just to name the highlights. We stayed in a very nice lodge on the property. Meals were great too! You get lifetime discounts from Kendall, Lesel and Leon, all top notch products.
I’ve never run the full size Xtremes. The size diff is about like a #2 to a #3. Not sure why but I’ve always liked a #2 sized trap. I know Kendall, who makes these, is running the Jrs now.
Can’t believe they’re factory set at a very high pan tension... that’s a huge disadvantage especially with cold weather bc pan tension will increase. Not exactly what I would want
There's 3 different ways to adjust the pan tension on these traps.....I've never bought a brand new trap of any kind and not had to tweak it a little to fit my liking. These traps are hands down the best on the market.
Why buy a trap you have to work on that much if I buy a bunch I'll have to spend alot of time on them they need to fix the problems before they send them
Great video. Keep up the good work!👍

They sure are the best trap on the market. (
Looking at getting a few of these this year -2 coiled. A friend let me check his out. Tough trap.
Hey bud do your back a favor and get up on a workbench! Great video!
Great video, did you learn a lot at the LKL ? Where did you stay ? Did they give you good deals on supplies ?

MO Trapper awesome !
What are your thoughts on the JRs vs the bigger extremes?

Great video. Stop by ours when you can
Set the trap with the pan towards you, crack it down with both hands slide your thumb under the pan and set.
You need to get yourself a workbench

Scott Swift there’s no problem with the traps. The only thing I do to these that I don’t do to MB550s is add a little bow string wax.
