WatrToad OP trapper W Joined: Jan 2021 Posts: 23 MT	First time on the site, back to running a small canine, cat, and beaver line. More flexible work, a kid that want’s to trap, and plentiful access to land to trap has me very excited! Some of my fondest memories were helping my dad run his line when I was a kid. One thing I’m struggling with is how to attached my MB 750’s to the drowner slide. Would simply using a S hook suffice?
