Duke #1 LS Long Spring Trap 4-Inch for Mink and Muskrat

The Duke #1 LS Long Spring Trap is a traditional foothold restraining trap intended for lawful mink and muskrat trapping and wildlife-management applications. This exact model uses a single long-spring configuration with a 4-inch jaw spread, giving trappers a compact option for sets designed around these smaller furbearers. Duke manufactures the trap from steel components and powers the mechanism with a tempered steel spring that extends alongside the trap. This established design traces its practical roots to early forged traps and remains useful for trappers who prefer the straightforward construction and secure holding characteristics associated with long-spring equipment. The pressure pan is positioned within the jaw area for conventional foothold set preparation, while the attached chain provides a connection point for properly securing the trap according to the chosen set and applicable regulations. Its uncomplicated mechanical layout makes the #1 LS suitable for experienced trappers as well as users learning to prepare and maintain traditional trapping equipment. Before field use, inspect the jaws, pan, dog, spring, chain and connecting hardware to confirm that every component moves correctly and remains in serviceable condition. The trap should be cleaned, adjusted and secured using methods appropriate for the location and target species. Because trapping seasons, approved trap types, jaw requirements, tagging rules and placement restrictions vary by jurisdiction, users should review all current state and local regulations before making a set. Careful site selection and responsible placement are also important for reducing encounters with pets and other non-target animals. Duke model 0310 is the standard #1 LS configuration rather than the double-jaw, guard-trap or larger #11 version, so its 4-inch spread and single-spring construction should be considered when selecting equipment for a trapline.
