That pic is from MN Trapline. There it is 21.95. I think the Snare shop is sold out and probably not getting any new .

I have one like that and it is a good tool, I like the rotating head design on the Ketch-all or is it Thompson that I have? I do not remember I will have to look and update this post when I can remember.
LOL, I like the one I have which ever it is.

I think that this is the lock that Bob J. mentioned. Although they were designed for tightening clothes lines, I have found many other uses for them. They hold well on wire, cable or small diameter rope. Don’t buy just one! Here is some of the catch poles that I use. They are easy to make to fit just about any size animal or situation. I have used them to catch animals from the size of small lizards to alligators to coyotes, bobcats, beavers, and otters. I have actually used them for their original purpose; catching pigs. I don’t know if I would want to use one on an adult bear or mountain lion though. This is a closer view of some of the lock systems. Couldn’t find the one with the clothes line tightener; must have loaned it out. Why don’t folks return what they borrow? And this is the business end. Of course, there are other ways to design this too.

Bob J.- Thanks for the good words, but--be careful. Today I finally figured out how to convert a VHS tape or a download from my old camcorder into a DVD. Now if I can only figure out how to upload parts of the DVD to Photobucket or You Tube. These old brain cells don’t work as good as they once may have. To me, a picture is worth a lot more than a thousand words.

One thing I have found with the catch poles I have made is ....that if you don't reopen them to the loop that I desire.......the wire will develop a memory to the size that it is left at.......maybe I am just not using the right wire product....
My poles are made out of a piece of aluminum pipe (quick connect "concrete float" handle....very light and strong) a nut for a wire stop and some VCed cable....Nothing "fancy" .......I attached like Ron did...by drilling a hole...Like his closeup of the bottom pole.....I like the loop that you end up with.....

Vinke- I can't even spell (copy and paste) "website". My cell phone service can't even retrieve messages, from my business phone number, from a town 10 miles away. And here you are posting on the internet. I doubt that you will miss anything!

The call phone was the fastest reliable internet option were I am located, at a resonable price.....cable compony wanted 2500 to run wire, no dsl here and satalite has problem with the clouds.....the cell phone acts as a modem using a bluetooth connection for a "wireless" connection for my laptop to the internet. ($15.95 unlimited acsess) I like it because I can take it with me and use the internet in the truck for maps and information.

I have been using one in my truck since 2000 or so. I now have a printer as well so I can just print out contracts and stop by notes and invoices for my customers, while on location.
When I travel I hook a GPS up to it and take off, I can get directions on the fly, and if you check out the Dept of Transportation websites for any state you are driving through you can get detailed information down to the hour of where all of the road construction is and how to get around it. Saves a lot of time, when traveling through an area you are not very familiar with.
Plus that green dot on the map that is me is just cool to see moving as I drive along... comforting as well because I can see where I am AND where I am going at the same time on the screen, let alone the fact that it will calculate time of arrival based on current speed and fuel cost based on MPG and distance.

Jeff..........An inverter...12 to 120.... they come in all sizes (watts rating) You can plug the small ones into your cig. lighter........bigger one need to be wires to the battery to work at full potential.. ......What I did is install a 74 watt solar pannel on the roof of my truck.....wired that to a pair of glass mat batteries....and hooked a big inverter to that. This way i can use the system without the possabity of the car battery going dead. I am able to run drills, saws, lights and even the coffee pot.....

Yeah what he said only I do not use solar power.
I believe that should be reserved for sun bathing ladies. I mean if we use up all of the sun will they stop wearing bikini's?
It was a very cost effective way for me starting up to be able to reproduce the differnt forms I wanted as a start up with out incuring the cost of carbon duplicate printing of say 8-10 differnt things, for a carbon or copy of the contracts or bids I give them a color copy.
I like it. and if you do not use all of the solar power we might conserve enough to keep the beuties bathing in the sun.
