I prefer stakes with a nut welded on top. I always thought that T could cause a chain entanglement.
Eh...wot?

Need to know your target species. True. I was thinking from a fox/coyote trapper's perspective.

I use the soft ground Berkshires on about 30" of cable on 90% of my coon traps. They hold in the soft crick bottoms where rebar won't. That is what I use ... I make my own. I have cable length in various length from 18 inches to 36 inches... I use the large size Berkshire for Yotes, fox and coon in creeks. 18 inch is good for coon and fox in clay. I don't use that many of them any longer so, I don't work at pulling them ... I dig down about a foot and cut them off. I make my own driving rods too. I use 1/2" rod grind a point on one end and weld a nut on the other. Garry-
