Now that JC Conners is no longer making a heavy duty snare bag, what are some alternatives?
Gary Jepson carries a large leather type bag In his snaring dvd.

Thanks

I use a tool belt. Newt Sterling gave me the idea at a demo once. Hands free no lugging a bag, everything is right there in your tool belt.


Ready to set. I use suspenders with mine.

Get a Reusable shopping bag and put a strap on it.

Law Dog - I’ve used a draw string type backpack for a couple years it worked ok but didn’t handle any moisture well and is in bad shape now, looking to move up to something nicer.

I would much rather have a shoulder strap bag than one I had to carry. I ran a leg snare line one year and had a tear drop shaped back pack with one strap that went across your back. It had a smaller pocket I could keep cutters pliers in. Stake were the worst part.

I carry a bag like that on my snare line. Comes in handy carrying different snares wire other parts.

Does anyone have a used JC Conners bag they would part with?

Cool post

i dont need a snarebag.a few dozen snares goes over the bike handlebars or skidoo handlebars easy.Out of the way and never tangle on anything.Grab a few and go in and set.
Roll of 14 ga wire in the jacket pocket,and a pair of loppers to trim brush and cut wire when setting.

My cat bag same idea lots of Velcro straps and pockets well made.

This is only my 3rd year trapping. I've mostly refined my system to this:

Most of the time I carry everything in my coat pockets. I tried a framer's rig but the pockets weren't deep enough for my coiled snares. Snares and extension cables are coiled in sets of 2 or 3 in separate zip lock bags in my pockets.

I keep a 5 gallon bucket with a bucket boss in the truck with all the stuff I might need but don't use a lot. I will occasionally grab that bucket if I'm walking far so I don't have to come back to the truck for something. I also often set DPs at the same time so I carry the bucket for that. I keep the bucket as light as possible.

I rarely use stakes since I can usually find a tree or something else to cable to for the anchor. That cuts down on carried weight by a lot.

Shoulder sling bags would work well. I have a Connor bag so I'm not lookong for anything else in this lifetime most likely.

John Graham makes a great trapping bag.

I was at a large charity flea market a few years back and they had a pile of laptop computer bags . Several heavy duty ones with straps and several compartments .At fifty cents each . I got a couple and they work fine for snare bags . They also had some camera bags with lots of built in pockets . Work out well for lure , bait and other gear .

I also use one like this for a snare bag, I also have bigger one that I use as a bait and lure bag, some of these bags come with shoulder straps.

I wear a fly fishing/hunting vest, has enough large pockets and you can put bigger items in the game pouch
