Re: Lil Grizz's??
I bought mine about 5 years ago, and they're still going strong. But they are effectively obsolete. Too many dog proofs out there for under $15. The dukes are a knock off of the grizz, never tried them, very cheap. If I were buying today I'd look at coon cuffs, hear lots of good about them. They have a 2 way trigger which would make it a lot easier to catch house cats, but also much easier to catch coons as well. You can catch cats in the griz but not as easy....which is a good thing for trapping around houses.
$30 would be about 3x too much for a used griz trap.

Re: Lil Grizz's??
We bought a dozen of the dukes to use this past season and were very pleased with them. The trigger is a pull only style but they can be converted to work push/pull. We painted them white and welded on a bit more rebar to the staking system to make them a little more solid when pushed into the ground. baited with some homemade ground up fish and anise bait and impaled a marshmallow on the trigger and they caught coon all year long. No complaints here for 12 bucks each

Re: Lil Grizz's??
Coon daggers are the dps that seem to be all the rage these days, not the cuffs like I said ealier. I've got plenty of dps with the griz so I'm not buying any more.
