F&t has #2 select quality straight link on sale right now. Would that be sufficient or should I get #3 straight link? Thanks guys.

Like I said made the same as a Sabor tooth just a little bigger. I'm standing by the drag didn't take it more then 5 feet from the set.

traprjohn trapper T Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 11,165 Central NC	Originally Posted by Arkansas87 . What type of drags do yall run? 99% of the time only a 1 lb drag is needed since I PRE-HOOK to saplings or logs using the 6-7' of #2 chain. Trapping old logging rds and along woods allows pre-hooking. I don't have time to hunt for a catch, plus I want their smells at the set to attract others to the set. www.sevenoakstrappingsupplies.com for trap mods and gear The 10 Commandments are not suggestions. Buy a soldiers meal EVERY chance you can.
