I've got a few spots this year that I'd like to use slide cables on coyotes. Can I use the 3/32 I have or do I have to get some 1/8?

3/32 will work if its what you got use it. You can upgrade to 1/8 at a later date if you want to continue using the slides. The 3/32 will kink up and nt last as long. If you're buying the cable start with 7x19 1/8" from the start.

Once you start using 7x19 cable for sliders and extensions, you aren’t going to want to go back to 7x7.



Regardless of which type you use, keep it taut. As taut as you can possibly get it. I prefer using possumskinner’s adjustable cable setup with cam locks

I agree with the cam lock setup. Much easier to adjust after a catch so you don’t have to mess with your deep end anchor all the time.

I've slid quite a few into ditches out if sight with 3/32" because I had a bunch of it. Works just fine. I just used the end hole on a swivel as slide lock.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Newt sells cable, you can get 5000' if you want $533.95.

Put a swivel on the end of the slide when making them as it will help reduce kinking.

the infamous Prune has started using the drowning rods I make for him instead of cable

I just weld a washer at BOTH ends for a t-stake.

Don't think I've ever seen 7x19 at MTP.

Many of the trapping supply companies don’t carry 7x19 1/8” cable . I did notice that Snareone and Snareshop have it, though. World of difference in prices between the two.
