What are those swivels you have there don't think I've ever seen those almost looks like a snap swivel The snare shop has them they are called swivel clips ($18 a dozen)

You have to remember that some of us don't have a tree where we need one and regulations may dictate a swivel. If you fix a loop to a fence here you better plan on 20 minutes of fixing the wire when you make a catch.. An end that will fit a stake/anchor, post drag or a tree at the opposite of the snare end is a little more versatile (and doesn't have to be cut after a catch). In some areas (most where I set) a big loop end kind of eliminates a stake with a nut/washer top as a rotating swivel when you use a kill spring and you depend on a coyote hitting the snare full bore in either direction a time or two. 1 stake type for foot trap or snare with a std. nut and washer size has worked for this old guy for years. A fixed length for a snare extension (I use 2 - 5' and a 10') is a little more production oriented with a 0.19 wire swivel (used to be 0.16) and then a loop big enough to slip the separate snare (with its hardware through) works the best for me. Just another look........................ the (tree searching) mike

Easy snare tie off and removal unless animal caught then wire cutters are needed. Do y'all just insist on doing things the hard way up there? Thats the easy practical way, Lots of trappers get trapped buying un necessary junk,lol.

all you had to do was run the end of the cable through the loop...no need to overly complicate it with whatever kind of hitch that is.

IF you run snares, you should always have cutters. What for? I dont,and I snare just about everything for the last 50 years or so.

Around here, we need to be able to turn loose critters out of snares occasionally. You cant do a proper job of that with anything shy of cable cutters unless its a possum.

This is by far the quickest most efficient way to tie off lethal snares on snarepoles,at jackpots and at snarefences or any other gangset application. I always make up a bundle at home and have them handy on the bike or skidoo A couple twists and you got two tie off/snare supports ready to add snares,Perfect when setting new or re-inforcing idled setups.When a catch is made a couple twists and its free.Then add a new one and re set if a snarepole or just pick up the land fur.

I have used tree locks on all my snares, I guess because that's what I bought years ago and when I replace the cable I keep putting them back on. I think just putting a loop at the anchor end of the snare might be faster at the set up. I might try a few of these next season. Use a sleep ez hook (carabineers with a screw lock), fastest way to go.
