1/32? Do you plan on snaring mosquitos? Know guys who've used 1/32nd and home made 25lbw breaks aways for bobcat and grey fox exclusive stfft I reckon that's possible. Just hard to fathom, coming from coyote country. My biggest bobcat was better than 35# and netted me $900.00. I'd have hated to have a 25# breakaway on that one.?

Small animal snares, mink, muskrat, squirrel, and rabbit, as you don't need a bad or deer stop on them. Wolfdog91 has a point , as coon and fox can be snared with the smaller cable in some areas , as it breaks under deer stop weights. Backed with a heavier lead, to do about what he described. Coon can and will remove a deer stopped snare, while the smaller cable will do the job without a stop.

3/64 good for under ice beaver. Not a good snare for land fur like fox or cats.They can bite thru them if not wound up quick in the thick stuff.. Went with 1/16 for under ice beaver as well as for cats and fox long time ago. If you put a small gas tube whammy on your under ice beaver snares the same snare can also be used for cats and fox.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Sorry about the late reply, I apologize. I asked a question and didn’t have time to check for reply’s before I left on a fishin trip.
Anyway I want the cable for fishin leaders. I lose to many big flatheads using braid, even with circle hooks. The back and forth on their teeth abraids the leader enough that it breaks when I get’em up to the boat.
I’ll contact you on monday Knewt.
Thanks Now, that makes perfect sense. LOL
