Never got out of the truck and the first one popped the BAD. The next one wouldn't give me a shot and made one lunge and was gone. That's 6 BAD failures this year with coyotes. Those that use CRs are you having better luck when using the J hook BADs? The forum Know It All according to Muskrat

I believe a lot BAD's being made, aren't even tested, or tested correctly. And makes a difference using different lengths of snares as to what poundage should be used.

wileytrapper trapper Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 1,165 Northern Indiana	Although not required in Indiana I have used snares with the 285# S-hook style BAD and have had coyotes open them slightly up but have not had any escape. I have never used the J-hook style as of yet. Not sure where your getting your cable restraints made but would definitely recommend you use a reliable source like Rally Hess or Southern Snare and Supply. Also if your not already I would recommend the highest release poundage your state requires and nothing lower. looking at your regulations I would recommend the 350# BAD.
