That’s a good suggestion, Caleb. I have used 1.65′s and caught a few critters in them, including a coyote. They are a really tough trap and I expect they will become much more popular in the future. If a guy were just getting into coyote trapping, I would recommend a #3 or larger due to the wide jaw spread. For all around trapping, 1.65′s are a great idea.

instead of buying the 6 #2′s and the 6 # 1.5′s buy a dozen bridger #1.65′s 4 coiled, laminated, baseplated with ring in center. these traps will hold any critter that steps on the pan aside from a mountain lion or wolf and they are a very humane trap when used right with the modifications that i have stated above.
