Heres how you build one! A piece of 1" PVC with a piece of 1/2" PVC inside of it. Glue the line tightener in like this. After you put the line tightener in and have the 1/2" PVC inside the 1" PVC put a cap on the 1" PVC drill two holes in the cap and put the 1/8" plastic coated cable down through the line tightner and through on hole in the cap, make a loop and then back through the other hole and the and strip of a piece of plastic coating and pound a nut on the end of it inside the cap like this. Put the cap on the pipe and this is what it will look like. The line tightner lets the cable come through it one way but will not let it pull back through until you release it with the center, here is a picture of the release, the part that is circled in red is the release.

I have about $4 max in each pole I build like this. I should have added I build mine 4' and 3' and use them on everything from coons and badgers to cats and coyotes.

where do you buy the line tightner at? I get mine at ACE hardware here in town, but they have to order them in, and I believe they are under the stuff for cloths line parts, just give them the name off the package I have in the picture and I bet you can find them, plus I did a search of them on the internet and found them in the 2 dollar range on here.

I’ll try to describe the one I built… I took a 5-foot piece of metal conduit about 1 inch OD. Then I took a hacksaw and holding the conduit up and down I sawed a notch in the end about 1 ½” deep and wide enough for a small chain link to fit in it. Then I got a 6 foot piece of chain (small dog chain) and a 2’ piece of 1/8" cable. I attached one end of the cable to one end of the chain by running it through the last chain link and using a 1/4" nut mashed on the cable. Then using a drill, drill a small hole through the side of the conduit 1” from the opposite end you cut the notches in. run the other end of the cable through this hole and use a single ferrule to attach the cable to this hole. Then drop the chain back through the conduit. This will leave a cable loop at one end and the chain sticking out the other end of the conduit. To catch the animal, put the loop over the animals neck pull the chain and hook it in the notch on the back of the pole. To release them pull the chain out of the notch and let it slip back through the conduit. This little cheap pole is great for releasing small critters you don’t want to kill. I’m sure that’s all clear as mud. Here are some pictures.... Here it is in action releasing an otter... ~ADC~
