With 10 lbs eventually you'll spend the day searching instead of trapping

Only if you bury it 2 ft deep!

I fastened a Victor 1 1/2 coil by the chain to a wooden pallet sitting along the shore. The next morning everything was missing. A large boar coon pulled the pallet along the shore about 100 yards. They are strong animals! If it's deep enough, I would use a slide wire with a drowning clip staked in deep water. Or, I have used Pogo anchors with DP traps too.
Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.

If there is snow, drags work well. Maybe I'm a poor tracker, but if I have a large trapline, I don't want to spend a lot of time searching for a coon. Pogo anchoring system or something similar will hold the largest coon.

A long chain has a better chance to tangle, If there's anything to get tangled in.
