Duke Traps 0470 Coil Spring Foothold Trap 4.75 Inch Jaw

Product Description

The DUKE TRAPS 0470 is a steel coil spring foothold trap designed to catch and restrain wild animals without killing them. Built around a compact dual coil spring mechanism, it delivers reliable holding force across a 4.75 inch jaw spread. The all-steel construction keeps the trap durable through repeated sets and varied weather conditions. This style of trap is a standard tool in the wildlife management and trapping trades, relied on by licensed trappers and animal control professionals who need a cost-effective, field-ready restraining device.

The 0470 is suited for medium-sized furbearers and nuisance wildlife including fox, mink, nutria, and raccoon. It fits typical land and water set applications where a foothold restraint is required. Common deployment scenarios include dirt hole sets, flat sets, and bank or water edge sets targeting the species listed. The compact coil spring design keeps the trap profile low, which supports natural set presentations in both rural and wetland environments.

Installation Notes

Setting and deploying foothold traps is regulated by state and local wildlife agencies; verify licensing requirements and legal jaw spread limits before use. Use a trap setter tool to compress the coil springs safely and reduce risk of accidental jaw closure during the set. Stake or anchor the trap securely to prevent drag by a caught animal. Check traps at the intervals required by applicable regulations in your jurisdiction.
