Hello,
What are y'alls favorite earth anchors?
What do y'all think about MB Super Stakes, Wolf Fangs, and Duck Bills?
Thank you,
AuthorTrapper.

I switched over to Wolf Creek Super Fang, same thing as the original wolf fang but they are wider. They use the same driver. They worked great this past season with the never ending mud. I normally use duckbills, which I love, but I am going to transition to all Super Fangs next season.

I will say that the duckbills hold well, but in rocky ground you can figure on drivers failing. I got a good heat treated driver and that helps, but it still isnt as forgiving as a good heavy duty wolf fang driver.

Iowa earth anchors here. Goin to try out a few finned super stakes this next season.

Super stakes are my favorite. The wolf fang drivers haven’t held up well for me.

Standard berkshires for me. When I want to pull a trap, I just cut the cable and move on.
Just makes things quicker, and easier on my back than pulling them. Lol

Pogos.

Easy to make and they hold.

MB super stakes with chain and welded S hooks; working exceptionally well for me the past half dozen years.

Iowas were my standard for many, many years here. The ends were harder to find lately. I like those when I can find them or I like super stakes.
Berks even the heavy duty just dont work well late season around here even with a pilot hole they slip off end of the driver frequently. I've tried bending up the ends, everything. They are inexpensive but not practical for what I need them to do around here in December and January conditions.
This off season I'm going to try to make some simple Iowa versions with no nut welded on them just holes near top center for cable to slip through with a stopper button. I can get black pipe or conduit in lengths cheap and make a whole bunch of them. I have drivers from 1990s that I still use and have never failed on my coyote line.

I make my own out of sickle sections.

Wolf Fangs work well for me, it's the drivers I have had bad luck with. I'm gonna pony up the money for a good one this year.

I've often wondered how pogos work.

I use18” cable on mine.

Never had anything even come close to moving them.

Pogos. 15" cable. Cut and run on pull day. Cheap to make.

Chained super stakes for most, cross stake rerod with JC's chestnut for rock and heavy gravel.

I use 12” super stakes with 3 links of chain at the top so I don’t have trouble with the cable sticking up.

Pogo has worked well for me

Like wolf fang stakes. Going to make a new driver though before next season. Metal isn't hard enough to use as a driver. IMO

I agree the metal on the wolf fang is not hard enough to drive them in some this country without a pilot hole.
So I tend to reach for a super stake alot of times.

Make my own out of black pipe with 16" of cable. Used them past two years on dp's and footholds.
