I had 2 dozen 1/8 stainless steel quick links given to me they say 440lb working load can I use them from my super stake to my jake trap for nE coyotes. I no I can but will they hold up thanks guys looking forward to your response

If they don't hold up you are going to need bigger traps.

Ok perfect. Thanks

They will absolutely work.

I use them to center mount my chains to my double longs and they hold up very well.

I got a 100 count bag this summer at a convention that is crap, the things open up like a wet noodle when I pull them out of the ground! I have no doubt that they will hold a coyote just fine, but I have never had these issues before.............

I had some like that also. Would not trust for coyote. I use only 3/16" links and they have held 40 lbs. yotes. I would do a pull test on those SS link just to be sure.

I would not trust them. 3/16” is much better, at a minimum.

There is always the possibility that you might catch a coyote with a tougher more aggressive temperament or larger than average, or both in one animal that could over power the standard gear. Then again, what you catch may not be a coyote. I have caught and held non-coyotes up to at least 150 pounds. I would not have wanted that or others running off with my trap.

Consider different possibilities to be safe.

If you’re going to use the 1/8 inch quick links I would highly recommend doubling them up. 3/16 inch quick links I just use the one and I have never had a problem. I’ve had the 1/8 inch quick links come apart when pulling anchors and no longer trust them unless they’re doubled. I’ve held coyotes with doubled up 1/8 quick links numerous times.

Edited to add that I’ve had the cheaper 1/8” quick links come apart when pulling traps and anchors by hand without an anchor puller.

Well I went to connect super stake to my trap chain and the 1/8” didn’t even fit through a link of chain. So 3/16” it is thanks guys

Obviously I cannot see how you are rigging, but you may want to use a crunchproof swivel to connect to the chain on the super stake.

I can't see those quick links and they may be fine, but I have seen a lot of quick links that had tapered threads and when tightened there is only about one thread holding. 1/8 failed my break test because of that.
A coyote is never going to put more than 100# load on them and if they actually do hold 440# they will surely hold a coyote.

Boss Paul; sells the good ones and has as cheap a price as you'll find anywhere, 3/16 for $37/100.
