Who uses what and why? Price? Effective?

Berkshire. They are cheaper than any other stake and they work really good. I have never had anything pull one out. I use the heavy duty ones with the 15" cable.

Pogos are the cheapest, if you make them yourself and i have never had a coyote pull one farther that a couple of inches up. Then, the only reason that it did was, it was the 4th one from the same set. I wont ever use anything else.

are they easy to drive....do the drivers last? Pogos that is

Wolf Fangs. Price is good and they don't bend, and drive in all kinds of ground. Haven't used pogos and berkshires are flimsey, break when driving, break when pulling...truly disposable.
Really have no complaints with the Fangs. They do take a big turn underground, which took some getting used to, but I use them on land and water both, whenever I need a stake.
I finally broke the head off the driver near the end of the season, but the other end of the driver is still good.

I have not used the wolf fangs but they look good. The HD berkshires are junk IMO and I will never buy another one (too many bent and ripped out heads trying to get them in tight ground). I like pogos in some conditions.

Wolf fangs have worked great for me, no complaints.

X4 on the Wolf Fangs....

I've got clay and sand but no rocks. I've been using pogos for some time now and I have no need to use anything else and I've got the time to make them. Here's my cost breakdown by 100 count-
100- #20 Common= $5.40
100- 1/4" x 1.5" Fender Washers= $10.00
Makes them $0.15 ea without cable so I clip and go!

Now you got me to thinking, which I Seldomn do(pun intended) . I have the same type soil. I started using 18" super stakes. They are about $2 each. It was murder getting them out. This year I went to the 12" cable and they are still a pain to remove. For $0.15 to 0.50 it sure would be easy to clip and go.

I know there have been threads picturing Pogo's and the drivers needed. I would love th have someone post a picture on this thread.

This year I switched from body grippers to the new Duke DP's and Berkshires. Took 70 coon,many 20 plus pounds. Didn't have 1 pull out. Only if I knew it was this easy last year!!

i use the berkshires on 15 in cable for my coyotes never had one get pulled up more than a inch or two. i used to use the standards but they dont like wi frost or when you pull them out the heavy duty are my choice now.

what are the reviews using wolf fangs on the water line? got soft silty bottoms and am wondering if they would work?

I also need to find a disposable stake that will hold in my silty ditches.
I had HD Berks for "soft ground" on 34" cables and they pulled out with one hand. I had to use slide rods most of the time.

Anyone use the fox hollows super stakes? Are they good?

Yes and yes but you will need a puller to get them up or else your going to have to dig them out of the ground

I have not used the wolf fangs but Have you used 2" pogos? I use them a lot in the water and am very happy with them. I bought a hd tip from POGO and built a 4' driver for setting drowners and in soft mud.

I bought a pogo driver a month a go and have already messed up the driver. Two pogo anchors, two seperate sets, both came in contact with a rock. Going to have to deburr my driver. Wolf fangs on the other hand....I will never use anything else. And driver is a real cadalliac too. Kirby

Have been using pogo system for three years now on creek side coons, but not without some issues. Our soil varies from muck to hard clay and stony creek bottom conditions. The cost of pogo system is the biggest plus, but the issues I have with it out weight the savings, imo. Orienting the J-hook and washer in the proper position when loading the driver at times can be a little frustrating, J-hook only fits one way, add a little mud in the mix and you'll know what I mean. Having the washer and J-hook assembly not releasing from the driver and coming back out of the ground is another issue at times. Also, I have damaged the driver point when encountering a stone so bad that it was impossible to load another washer with out a return trip home to fix. That happened three times, so I bought another driver for back up use.

Will be using the Wolf fang system from now on. Its fast, and easy to use, Can load it with my eyes shut, much like the Super Stake system, but with out the cost. And will drive through most any type of ground that I encounter.......Dana

This is a good time to talk about this particular occurrence. It's been my experience that a person needs to go through his washers and check them for thickness before making them into a stake. Pretty simple, just like using a go or no-go gauge! There will be a % of washers that will be too thick to fit the slot or a little too tight that would allow dirt, mud, etc. to cause a hang-up in your driver.
