A leg hold trap for trapping an animal including a base pivotally mounting a pair of clamping jaws, and a pair of springs for moving the clamping jaws between open, spaced apart, set positions and closed leg clamping positions clamping the leg of an animal there-between. A pair of launch arms are mounted on each of the springs for reacting with the underlying terrain and upwardly launching the base and the clamping jaws as the clamping jaws are moving between the open and closed positions. The pairs of launching arms are swingably moveable about first and second spaced apart axes. The launch arms each include launching rods of a predetermined breadth and a launching pad of substantially increased breadth having a terminal end disposed between the axes.
