Do yourself a favor use 1/8inch cable and a few lengths of chain trap will bed better plus cable has more breaking strength than chain .

I've always used cable (1/8th") without problems. I just figured that I would use the chained WolfFangs on some footholds since I don't need them on DP's.

It is a very nice bonus to get them on the DP's though.

I had couple them wolf fangs come loose were the ring is welded to chain and wolffang. Fine for coon but I'm not sure I would run them on k9 traps.

I go a step farther and use stainless,1/8".They hold up extremely well.I also spray prime the anchor head.I'm surprised how well that lasted through a season in harsh,alkaline soils.I plan to spray them each season and give them plenty of time to cure.

I saw the chained fangs that KO uses on DPs at last years NTA. The chain is #2 welded american machine chain. The same I use on Super stakes. You will be good..

2traps- that little ring was my biggest concern. Sounds crazy, but I can't really tell if the chain is welded or not. Each link looks solid enough (completely closed), but where the weld would be just looks tightly closed. No weld or grinder marks showing. What would be the best thing to replace that ring holding the anchor to the chain?

How well does the coating hold up on these traps?
