I know a guy that uses them for coon. Havn't heard him complain about them.
Personally i wouldn't use them on coyote. Maybe others will chime in
Till that day.....

Paul has some good ones.
Personally I prefer sleep ez hooks which are just threaded caribeeners. Three things have to go wrong for them to fail, the nut has to come loose, then the gate has to be opened then held open with the trap or anchor end on the open side then it has to be wiggled out of the caribeener. I like the sleep ez but they are no where near as strong as a quick link. I can pull an equal size quick link that would destroy a sleep ez. But that said they'll hold a coyote just fine.

Never had a problem from the ones Boss Paul sells on "The Store", click on the link at the bottom of the Talk forum page. If any doubts, double them up. $32/100.

I used split rings on land for years until this happened. Now it might have been a bear, I don't know. ground was frozen so no tracks and catch circle was light so it was a short fight but I lost an mb650 because of it... I still use them all the time with water traps but Im gun shy using them on predator traps now...this was one of the HD ones like Paul, Tim and everyone else sells

Just like in climbing, redundancy is always a good thing. Double the metal goes a long ways toward retention.
