Man, I think I need to switch to chai drowners or rebar. This was a 12' x 3/32 cable before we hooked up to the big beaver on Sunday. Pics of people's set up would be appreciated. Especially chains and locks or rod ends/anchors
Just happy to be here.

Drowning rods... Some chain drowners I put together with Kendall Obermeyer's parts... Lock I built for a drowning rod based off Kendall's design... I have that same toolbox. Lol Mike

You must not have had your cable staked solid at the deep end,either that or the cable was loose when staked. I guess all that heavy steel stuff works ok if you trap right beside the road.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

It helps with cable to put a stop 12-18" from the deep end anchor

Can you show me a close up of the chain drowners ADC? http://www.nobslures.com/ Click on "trapline tools and hardware" then select the first choice "trapline tools and hardware" from the drop down menu. Kendall had great products!

So, does the wolf fang anchor get driven at the deep end and the steel stake on shore?
Just happy to be here.

I see. I am thinking rods would be ideal where near road and chains where I have a hike. Nothing remote here like on Bocos line lol worst case would be a 300 yard drag to the truck. There aren't usually huts or dams here, just bank dens so a good peeled stick can be hard to find. Now if black dirt and soybean Duff we're useful for beaver sets, I'd be all set.
Just happy to be here.

If you can use the rods IMO they are by far the best choice, however they aren't practical for everyone's line. Here's an adjustable drowner cable that you can pull the tag end through the lock to stretch it tight so it doesn't kink so bad... That's a great idea. sure beats carrying various lengths.
