Now I'm starting to wonder what I am missing. What do you guys use? I'm getting fat and lazy, so looking for something easy to carry and use, and of course reliable and durable. I would be using it primarily coyotes. Man who mistake shillelagh for fairy wand; see pixie dust, also.

I have had one of the PVC ones for years, but had a dog destroy the cable. The Ketch-All swivels on the end if the animal starts rolling. Also has a quick release.

Works good on cats, yotes, foxes, etc. I just couldn't see spending the money on the catch all YET.

It is one of what I am currently favoring. I have never heard anything negative about the catchall. Over the years I have seen some decent homemade designs on this site. They seem to be functional, and even efficient, and definately cheap. Even my own home built that I made before the age of the internet has been functional, but, I am at the stage where I am ready to spend a c-note for a sophisticated commercial one. How about the Tomahawk? Does anyone have any experience with them? Man who mistake shillelagh for fairy wand; see pixie dust, also.
