I run 15" chain on mine, hardly go in more than 10-12".
Wolf fangs are clearly the ticket imo.

I put 12" cable then 6" chain.Cable is in the ground with no problem .
I am with schweg2 clearly the ticket, in the ground I set.

I have used the fangs and the pogos. I bought one set of bullet anchors off ebay...they have been hands down my favorite. They seem to driver where the others bend, including the fangs. No matter what you use...nothing likes rocks. Kirby

I tried the pogos... I will never use another ever again! The driver is JUNK!!! I broke two in less than a month. I understand frozen ground is hard on things... but really.... 2 "heavy duty" drivers in less than a month. Thats pathetic!

I do ok with the heavy duty berkshires if I drill a pilot hole. I bought 100 wolf fang anchors at the end of the season and didnt really get to use any. Im going to run them on 8inches of chain./

Im going to start pre staking in the fall, so I dont have such hard ground to drive into. I know Ill still have to drive some in when the frost comes, but most will be in in late august-october.I sure hope I have as good of results with the wolf fangs as a most of you do. Im really looking forward to finding something that works CONSISTENTLY!

I had good luck with the Fangs as well. I want to attach them directly to my trap chain. How can I attach chain to the fang?? Hole to small for decent S hook.

i love the Heavy Duty Berkshire Stake we have lots of rock's tree root's and frozen ground and they hold up to it i even use them on my beaver line in the river bank,
i have drove them in and thogh most things and have use them to make drags to, i jest cant say enough about them!!!!!!!!!!!

i bought some 1 1/2 and 2 inch fender washers to try n make pogos it seems the j hook dang near fits threw the hole in washer i might still make em just tack it with welder.Can u make a pogo driver by cuttin a slit in the end of re rod?

The only thing I have tried is wolf fangs but I like them a lot. Very tough. They are not the easiest to get out for me. It's probably about 50/50 for the one I can pull out by hand compared to the ones I dig out. Now I just use the winch on the four wheeler. Takes like 15 seconds to hook the winch up and yank it out. Thought I would trash some pulling them with the winch but so far no damage. 18" of 1/8" cable with a wolf fang on the end really gets a solid hold.

I just bought some berkshires but how well do they work in frozen ground? will they bend and come out easier?

I have used all of them,pogos,berks and wolf fangs and the wolf fangs are the best as far as I am concerned.Pogos are ok but I had issues with them and I quickly abandoned them for anchoring traps.In soft or loamy soil they will often not set right and in rocky soil forget it,they bend up or get wedged into the driver.I use some that I have left to anchor baits though.Berks(hd included) suck as far as I am concerned,you end up driving your rod through them,or they bend up when pulling them.The fangs are strong,I have driven them through buried logs and roots,because they are pointed they will angle off smaller rocks and they don't bend up if you hit a rock that is solid or to big to angle off.I have yet to have one bend when pulling,in fact I have snapped cable trying to pull a few so their holding power isn't a concern to me either.I never snapped a cable with a berk,if they broke loose they broke loose at the anchor.I am thinking of switching from cable to chain with the fangs actually,they are so tough and re-usable that I am thinking they would be ok for that.They are very similar to high desert spears but I believe they are a little cheaper...

I've tried iowa anchors(nuts usually break off when hitting a rock), super stakes(too exspensive), tried making my own conduit stakes(they hung on driver). Now use wolf fangs, the best out of the ones I've tried. I'll be using them totally from now on. Definetly need a good puller to pull them up.

The wolf fangs work great for driving in frozen ground

I used wolf fang, super earth anchors, HD birkshires this year. 6" cable then 6" #2 straight link chain.Drove stake down till I was at my swivel. Even after setting the stake it was only chain coming up so it laid flat under my trap. Worked great on all set ups. But only used 3/32 cable(WRONG!!!) Need to use 1/8 cable where I live. ROCKS!! sheered off two or three of the cables before I was finished. Didn't have any fail me during the season on all of them. But when pulling them up the berkshires bent a little, the earth anchors and the wolf fangs where just fine. But you better have a stake puller or a very large crow bar like mine(4' ft long type) Was able to put it between links and pry up the stakes.(also used a spike-nail- between links ) oh yeah with a peice of wood or a rock underneath so it wouldn't sink out of sight. It worked great though. Didn't need the extra support on frozen ground. Anyhow when pulling the fangs you could see about a foot of earth move before they would start coming up. A true earth anchor. The super earth anchor was almost the same. I will be using more fangs as they do a great job and are a little cheaper.

for those of you that use chain what do you use to attach the chain to the stake with? i heard that the opening in the stake is too small for a (mighty hook) size s hook.

anybody got any pics of your chain attachment?

Chained super stakes with all connections welded shut. They are a pain in the butt to pull, but isn't that the point of using them????

i was refering to chain on the wolf fangs.

I have been looking at them trying to figure out the best way for me to do that,when I figure out what I am going to do and do it,I will post pics for you.
I have been kicking around using a #3 chain link,cut it and attach to fang and hook my #2 chain into that link then welding it shut.We'll see though.There is always a way to do something,you just have to find it and make sure it will function correctly...

i haven't seen the wolf fangs in person yet but could you take a round punch in the hole where the cable goes and drive it in and enlarge the hole enough for the mighty hook to work?

or just use a little smaller diameter s hook?

I was looking at them yesterday and I have s hooks,not mighty hooks,and they fit.Welded shut I imagine they would work.I am going to weld one on tomorrow and drive it and pull it a couple times to see how it works.I am not sure what they are tested to weight/pressure wise before you have to worry about breakage.
