Quick Clip 1/4" or 5/16" work excelent. I know a few of the supply houses carry them including Kaatz and Locklear.
I use 1/8" 7x19 cable for extentions. 6' long, and will use 2 when necisary. Best thing I have used yet. They wrap up well, store a lot in a small area and work wonderfull. Plus they are lighter and cheaper than chain.

I like chain, I put 6' of chain on mine. I attach the chain to the trap with a "Tear drop ring" and put a dog clip on the end.

i use the quick links as well. i keep the chains on my coni's, then hook the cable around a tree or root, then use the quick link to attach to the chain.
when i get a catch i have a preset coni ready and just change out the full trap and remove the animal on solid ground.

I have cable extensions in assorted length and thicknesses that I use for most of my bodygrip traps(have 16" cables w/ swivels on them) and snares. Ext.s have loop one end and quick attach snare combo swivel on other. Carry a few quick links for odd situations.
I've learned enough thru the years to now know that I don't know enough. KNOWLEDGE IS FREEDOM.

Roger,I also use 1/8 inch cable--it lasts a lot longer than 3/32. I use 7 links 0f #2 straight link chain through the spring eye,a universal swivel is used to close the chain around the spring eye.I then attache the cable to the other ind of the swivel.I also have another swivel mid point on some of my cable,and and end swivel on all of them.I stake most of mine and my 1/2 inch rerod stakes work perfectly with the end swivel. After a bit, you will figure out what works best for you. Got to run,gat another 2 or 3 dozen 330,s to cable and swivel. Tom

I use 3/32 on my bodygrips. All of them from 110s up. I have the same setup with different lengths of cable on all but the 110s at present. These are permanent. First I cut the chain off the spring. Then I cut the ring on the chain put it through the spring eye and reweld it. Then comes a swivel, the chain, another swivel, 5 to 6 feet of cable depending on trap size, last an earth anchor. I have not swiveled the 110s I have yet but they get 3 feet of cable and an anchor. This all wraps around the trap for storage. If extensions are needed it is simple to add on at the cable eye on the anchor. The anchor can be punched in or tied off depending on circumstances. I like the 3/32 as it is much more flexible the the 1/8. The 1/8 does last longer but does not wrap for storage on the trap as nicely.
