Nessy,
is the s-hook at the T-bar necessary? why not just use an open J-hook right at the swivel? I guess that would be ok....and less work....but ..if something can go wrong...it will go wrong...just saying

Dave ??, this isn't Ness, but he's showing you a picture of the top of his drowner system...…..it's the Tbar, with swivel/jhook then S hook to chain...…...that's the top end of his system/rig. Nice set up Ness!

I guess that would be ok....and less work....but ..if something can go wrong...it will go wrong...just saying 10-4. I just thought that without the S-hook (attaching the tightened chain right to the J-hook, itself), there would be one less "failure point". really like your set-up!

I made my own locks out of 1" square tubing. They lock up tight.

I've been toying around with the idea of chain drowners the last couple nights and came up with something I think is inexpensive and simple. I can't post pics until I get home, but the idea is...
Double stake swivel w/ J hook at the shore end Single hook swivel on a quick link at deep end...this way, you can move the terminal end up or down the chain to suit depth and keep your chain tight.
I also welded up a few locks using 1x1 rectangular tube and 1 x 1/8 flat bar
If you can't stake the terminal end, you can wire up a sandbag filled with rocks/clay/sand on site.
Just happy to be here.

Chain drowners on 10ft rebar rods with Bauer locks, you guys carrying rotors and cement blocks are making this to hard for cheap beaver You're telling me. I need to find 10' rebar. Where might I find this in upstate NY for good price?

so...how much water depth does one need to drown beaver, and how much weight do you need?
Thanks! About 4 feet of water.....and one 3/4 ton pick up brake rotor does the trick. I have spots that I go back to each year or every other year....and I just hide the rotor ( and hopefully I can remember where I put it ) .
