OK for snare supports where you'll only use it a time or two anyway, and it's not a direct critical link to your caught animal. An answer from a good snareman/snaremaker will be more help than mine.

Be sure to get plenty or wraps with them though like 6 at least, 3-4 on #9 is ok but lighter wire holds up better with more wraps. Heck, if them coat hangers will hold up my entire exhaust system on my truck they should hold a coon. lol ~ADC~

mr. finch trapper Joined: Dec 2006 kansas	Originally Posted By: TexA No, i would NOT use coat hanger wire for swivels. A Coyote will stretch it all out and be gone. Use some #9 wire at least. Black works ok but Galvanized is even stronger. Most people use #9 Galvanized for their Clothes Line Wire... A ten-pound hoop of it will cost you about 10-12 bucks and it will make one heck of a pile of swivels. I use about 10 to 11-inches of wire for each swivel. They are good and strong! where do ya get a ten pound hoop for 12 bucks?? i live and work in this city but am truly alive on this river......tom burns
