My new NEWT'S MASTER LOCK are made for each cable size 3/64"-1/16"-5/64"-3/32" They are made of No-polished Stainless Steel. ---Advertized---- as legal in most relaxing lock states.(You read between the lines) South Jersey Trapping and Snaring School January 16-17-18 2026 NEWT -----------------OVER---------------- www.snareone.com

Thanks to everyone for your input! Definitely helped. is it time to go fish, or hunt, or trap something yet....

I've never killed a coyote using one although, I sure have tried ! I'm not a big fan of them on coyotes. I can understand that. We have to use relaxing in MI and they have worked very well imo, on my setup for that. --- HAGz J3 Outdoorz - HAGz Brand Trapping Products www.j3o.com

Bigfoot trapper B Joined: Dec 2006 central Missouri	I've never reused them maybe that's the difference I don't know . If I start snaring live Mrkt coyotes it will not be with micro locks but I would never call them a efficient lethal lock . I use a 5'snare attached to a swivel then to a twenty four inch pogo anchor. my #9n support wire is attached to the rivet in the pogo every unit is coiled up in a sandwich bag ready to go . I run my snares so short because of the entanglement law . I like micros because of their small profile .

Used in conjunction with 50# coil dispatch spring and the snare tied of high and solid they are a very efficient and humane lethal lock in my experience. The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.
