I believe either will work, I like the larger pan on the 650's.
Both look to be very well built. I like the quality feel of them.
So which size should I go with? Don't really want to try 6 of each, looking to buy a dozen for now.


I run the MB-550's off-set and like one poster said , unless you got wolf sized yotes the 550 is all you need. Ive caught some nasty yotes and they will not hurt those traps. The 650 is a big trap. Here's a couple pics of the 550's in action.

Just a quick question for a green horn does the off-set jaws seem to be easier on off catches? Around here anywhere you find a good set you can run into coon or fox hounds and I been told off-set jaws are easier on something if you want to let it go
