What do you all prefer? I have way more experience with coils, but the long springs I have seem to bed faster and easier.

I like coil springs. I dont understand why they say they bed easier and faster. Always a pain for me. But again the old wolfers caught a lot of fur with them.

My favorite use for long springs is water sets in drowner situations for mink, rats, and coon. I have a couple that I use on my landline, but they’re heavier and clumsier IMO.

I like double long for cats in freeze thaw situations. coils for fox and coyote.

I keep a couple dozen long springs for trapping in really soft ground/sandy (which we have very little of) more metal on the ground = bedding easier, for me anyway. But yeah I can set coil springs faster than longs.

Coils in the regular sets (flat, post, hole) and longsprings on the fresh badger mounds and above ground cat sets.

I have a dozen sleepy creek 11s. I find them a little hard to set in water without a trap setter. I think #1 1/2 coils work great for water and land sets for red fox.
