I should have asked this too, how many use shock springs with stakes?


I just put one on a LIL grizz. I had some left over from my #3s and figured it couldn't hurt.

I use the factory swivel that goes through the frame, a link of chain, a universal swivel, then another 2 links of chain, and then a universal connected by one rivet on the end of the chain. This allows this rig to be used for drowning set-ups as well as staking.

1 double swivel at the trap, 1 double swivel at mid-chain.


Unless kids are brought into trapping; trapping dies of old age.
Remember; Rush Limbaugh is always right.
