I saw this at a show. Anyone ever use 1 like this for staking?

I used to use the flat stake swivels with the J hook on them. Put the rebar through them and pound it into the trap bed below the trap. I never had much trouble with them fouling. Since coyotes started showing up on my line I switched to double stake swivels, the type with the J hook in the center. I use them in the same way, pound them down in the bed and set the trap over them. I never had any trouble with those fouling either, except when set in grass or debris as mentioned above. After the first catch, that is no longer a problem.
Eh...wot?

I have used 3/4" washers with a hole drilled in the outer ring to accept a J-hook as a stake swivel for years. I never found that they ever fouled up on me. I always run a pretty short chain, 12" or so with one mid-chain swivel. Caught many hundreds if not thousands of critters with this setup.

I always just put a crunchproof swivel at the end of the chain. 1/2” rebar fits just right through it. If I want to cross stake just add another swivel to the same chain link. Always worked good for me, and swivels are cheap.
