Does anybody make their own anchor system? Cabled or otherwise
Cheers Rhino

If you take a look in the archives you’ll find several styles people make. I messed with conduit anchors for a while but for me Wolfangs are plenty cheap, easier to drive, and work better.

I use pogos made by me. They are easy and they work.

Made a ton of cable stakes, real easy to do.

Super stakes with 8" cable and 8" chain. My style of hybrid. Cable on bottom, chain top. Never have to worry about pulling the loop of cable out into trap bed. I buy ends by the 100 and cable by 1000'. Bought a bench swayed and it has already paid for itself.

Yes, no pics, but I use 1/2" pipe 3" long with a 1/4" nut welded on the outside, or a homemade loop out of #9 wire. I've used straight 3/32 cable (loaded so it's a curly q), or cable/chain. I'd use all chain, but at this point I'm too cheap.

Yes. Thousands of us do.
Add cable to either retrievable bullet stakes or Hvy Duty Berkshires.

Half inch pipe here. Cut and beat a point Weld shut on one end 45 degree cut on the other, weld a link of a 12” chain to the pipe. I pull all my anchors, guess I’m to cheap to use disposables lol. I like how chain lays down if I don’t drive it all the way in. Tried cable but I always seemed to be fighting the loop in the trap bed

2" pogos...buy in bulk

3/32" 7x7 cable

Make j-hooks from 20 penny nails.

Use aluminum double ferrules

Have bender

Have bench swager

Make my own drivers

On pull day I cut and go...except on my own property...I unscrew quick link....tie flagging tape so I can find if I return same season.

If you only run a few traps use chain Superstakes and dig up.

That is not feasible when I have 100 to 150 sets out.

I load my cable like an mf...makes it about a 2" curly q. Then I bend the top loop at a 90, lays flat as a pancake...but I like fiddling with things, and fabbing stuff.

pretty sure most of us retrieve our "disposables" actually, since it's so easy to loosen the soil part of the way down, before pulling out.
