Would like to hear how everyone sets up their equipment,stakes,drags .cable sizes etc.
Now I dont snare much ,run 3/32 or 5/64 cable with the dispatch springs and wammys. For preadators that is. 3/32 for beaver .

I use the same basic snares for coon, beaver, and fox. 4' of 3/32 7x7 with deerstops, cam or washer locks, 9ga. swivel, and a real metal wammy to fit my 9ga. support wire.
I haven't found a better set up for live snareing yet.
As for coyotes, 8' of 1/16 with a BMI mini lock, is the best set up I've tried but I'm not a big coyote guy.

live snaring ? do you sell them alive or just snare that way because of the deer stops?

It's easier and faster for me. I don't sell live.

I use 3' 5/64 with sure locks and end swivels with a Universal Swivel attatched to that and a Cable stake. that is for coon,fox,cat. for coons on crossing logs, I nail a swivel to the side or under side of a tree so when he is caught, he falls and will be dead when I get there, just replace the snare, but I put one on each end encase of doubles....for beaver in water I use a 5/64 4 or 5' length with sure lock and wire it off where ever I can....... Coyotes I use a 3/32 cable with sure locks @ 5' long and a S-hook on the swivel for Double Staking....

I am going to switch to the amberg lock this year, everything I have seen or read they seem to lock up better then the cam locks, I have had to file my cam locks to get them to lock up better with the smaller cable, I run at least 7 1/2 foot snares, but I like to make most of them at least 10 foot, I will post some pictures this season on the new snares and what I like or dislike about them.

I mostly snare fox and coon I use 1/16, 1/19 cable, 40" long and load it up pretty heavy. THis works good for fence rows and trail sets.I like using wire for a tail for many reason. One is if the wire wraps around a small tree it won't unwraps like cable will and it's a lot cheaper too! I use a BMI mini lock and when a fox hits the snare it will fire down to a 2" loop in a fraction of a second. For beaver I use the same setup but use 5/64 cable
