I used pogos for first time this year on snares and DPs and I really like them. Cheapo, and held really well. I may try them.for coyote and land coon sets next year. I made pilot holes this year with a super stake driver then used my pogo driver, this was advice from a friend who used to use them and got tired of bending tips on his drivers he used to go through several drivers a season.

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

I just started using them this year I tried putting the 1.25 washers on my J hooks and had to bend them to get them on and then restraighten them. Seemed to do ok and a lot easier than double staking traps. I did have one pull back out of the driver hole and the cable get cut or work it's way out the ferrule while pulling to set the anchor. Doesn't seem like much but when you have to carry everything in and the anchors were pre attached to the traps I lost out on setting a couple traps. My driver got clogged with mud on the last one so much I can't fit a washer in it until I clean it so that worried me a little for next time. From now on I'm buying my J hooks and washers pre attached for convenience, those heavy J hooks aren't no joke trying to close

I made my pogo driver and pogos. Between the mud, bent tips and pogos coming off end while driving them, the whole thing was about to give me a twitch.

I'll have to see if my earth anchor driver from F&T will drive pogo's. I bought some pogo's last year. I believe my driver is for Freedom Brand earth anchors.

Maybe I'm off based but I kinda wanna see if my earth anchor driver will drive pogo's. When you guys say pogo's take a special driver, I guess I never really was sure what it took to drive those pogos.
