Wouldn't be a drag if you anchored it, would it?
Sorry. Read that totally wrong!
8-10 feet of chain is what I use

10-12 feet and quick links.

I think mine are set up with 8-10ft of chain. swivels before the drag and one on the attachment end. all my traps have 2 swivels and a quick link on the end. I just run the quick link attached to the trap chain through the swivel body on the end of the drag chain. That way i can use an earth anchor or drag setup on any of my traps if needed.

Split rings will work just as well and are cheaper. But as Taximan noted, quick links at trapping supply outlets (F&T, MTP, etc.) are ridiculously cheaper than retail.
And my swivel setup is similar to Possum Man - dual use easy on, easy off.

I lap-link my chains to the drags and weld them together along with the s hooks/j hooks in the chains no point in swiveling the drag as that will be wrapped up so many ways I focus on swivels at the trap end more.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!
