Anyone use it? Favorite color for snares?

I used a few dozen of thier black cable restraints last winter with good success. They don't turn completely coal black like you might be picturing. I'd like to try the light color they have also. Pale rider I think they call them.
Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine!

If I was gonna use it I would go with the tan as it better suits my area . I was also told that it can gum up locks so I hesitate to try it .

My question Is why? A dull grey natural color from aged cable just about disappears when hung. Black In my area would stand out like a sore thumb.

Its actually a dull natural bark grey. Very hard to see. Thin it down well and it works great for snares. But you do need to thin it down or it can hamper mechanical locks. It's water base so it drys quick and low odor.

I use ghost rider too. Nice color, and they don't gum up. Just run the relaxing lock back and forth over the cable a few times b4 using. As Beav said though, dipping isn't necessary.

The easiest way ive found to dip the supports is apiece of pvc pipe with a cap on one end and dig a foot deep hole with posthole diggers and fill it up with dip Interesting. I could see that working.

I don't dip my cable or paint It. And I don't dip or paint my stabilizers. In fact I go as far as wrapping a bit of pink duct tape around the top end so I can find them. Hasn't seemed to hurt my catch rate.
But I'm going to go out and paint some cable and do the same with my stabilizers and see If It makes a difference.

I painted 12 CRs last year in October, just to see. Set them in January, Most where avoided but they got nailed in snares treated with walnut trap dye on the same trails. Lesson learned, paint early or don't.. They were sprayed with rustolium camo paint. Water base may be Okay.

hey Beav not to tell ya what to do but that paint smell might not air off of them in time for season ihave painted in spring to let air out for season but im after coyotes that are survivers for a reason not much room to stub your toe they wont get within ten feet of any thing that smells out of place WE can't start hanging CRs till Dec 1st so do you think that will be long enough? I'm only going to do a few just to see what all this painting Is all about.

Today I painted 6 CRs with a light tan spray paint. They look pretty good. They are know hanging out In the tree In the rain. We will see how they work out. Won't be using them till Dec 1st.
