7x7 will close down more than 1x19. Good for snagging extremities when under ice beaver snaring.

And 1X19 Is more chew resistant.

No,And surely not under ice,lol. Under ice or not, I still have to have a deer stop on snares. I was wondering in general terms what your regs were like.

No Sniper, we haven't be able to get that changed yet. It would be nice to have the either or option at some point.

I use 1/16 up to 3/32. I have even caught coyotes by the toes with 1x19 3/32.
If it makes a track on this earth , I can catch it.

The picture posted shows the strand and bundle arrangement, but there’s more to be said.
1x19 gives you the ability to shape your loop and its stiffness lets you easily take advantage of stored energy when loaded properly. I don’t find loading cable to be difficult, but I do think 1x19 is a little easier to load. A well built 1x19 snare can really be useful, especially when snaring beavers in the water. 1x19 snares can be made in such a way that the loop is wider than it is deep, possibly(?) satisfying legal “1/2 submerged” regs without having to have the bottom of the loop quite so deep. I use threaded stops for 1x19 or double ferrules.
In my experience, 7x7 makes more of a round loop when loaded. I liked those out of the water on trails at times, and 7x7 makes a great all around cable.
7x19 is very flexible, and in my opinion is second to none when it comes to extension cables, submersion cables, and general non-snare uses. Very handy stuff. Almost all of my 330s have stainless 7x19 cables. It was an investment worth making in my experience.
Using different cable types, sizes, and a variety of locks keeps it interesting, and in a way is similar to having choices when it comes to bullet selection for hunting. Yes, some bullets will do it all, but there are times that specific ones do it better.
If I had to choose only one type of cable for snaring, it’d be quality 1x19. If I had to choose one type of cable period, it’d probably be 7x7 since it can make snares and extensions, but…… when I get my pick for everything, I choose to have a selection.
