Great Big Great Big trapper Registered: 09/04/07 Posts: 210 Loc: Athens, Ohio	Will S hooks work or is a quick link or snap link better? Ever have an S hook straightened by a coyote? I've got some Mighty S hooks from MTP I was going to use. How necessary are the S hook tools, and do you recommend the standard or heavy duty one? _________________________ Brandes Farm Trophy Whitetails Est. 1999 Managing for Quality Whitetails in Southeast Ohio

huntinglonewolf huntinglonewolf trapper Registered: 12/27/06 Posts: 1908 Loc: Wyoming	I use the snap links to attach all my snares to cable stakes for the simple fact that it is alot easier and faster then changing them out then any other method. I use j-hooks right out of the swivel for all my cable stakes. _________________________

TexA TexA trapper Registered: 12/24/06 Posts: 2079 Loc: Estherville, IA	Be careful if you use S-hooks. If you bend them more than a time or two, the metal gets brittle and will possibly break-on-the-bend if pulled on right. They are just like re-using J-hooks, Be Safe and don't do it! I've used the HD Split Rings with good results, but you must be careful where you use them too. They work good if you're hooking a trap up to a fence and catching Coons etc, but a Coytote on a solid stake/anchor CAN bend them up pretty bad. Possibly even escape because of the bent split ring. I haven't lost any yet, but there have been a couple that came pretty close to getting away. So, I've gone started using the threaded Quick Links. Lots of sizes to choose from and they do work very well for those solidly staked units. _________________________ TexA Member Iowa Trappers Association National Trappers Association

Ron Marsh Ron Marsh trapper Registered: 12/25/06 Posts: 96 Loc: PA Venango Co.	Use a swivle of some kind between the snare and stake. If you hook them solid they can unwind the cable and break it. _________________________ Support Traps-4-Kids Stakes: Why leave them behind when you can get them back easly.
