I ran super stakes 100% this year for the first time. I absolutely love them. I also can’t believe it took me 30 years to try them. I’m also the guy that still orders the same hamburger at Wendy’s that I tried and liked in the late 80’s. I’m a stick with what works guy.

Does anyone leave the disposable with cable in and use them the next year? Or do you think they would deteriorate to much in a year's time? That depends greatly on the type of ground you’re setting in and where you live (amount of moisture per year, Ph of your soil, etc...) I couldn’t do it here our soil would eat them up.

Often as I move traps, I have quit the anchors and back to rebar. Well kinda, I use one rebar stake and a 3/8 crosspin out of smooth cold roll to lock it, works good and saves weight in the yota. Lee, I was having second thoughts last year when I tried them for exactly the same reason. I built 3 different pullers and they all about killed me. I finally made a hybrid of what June uses and absolutely love it. Game changer for me. Looks heavy but it’s not bad.

If your making your own fang set up I like to leave a loop at the fang with a little more cable so it’s not super tight and then you have the cable being worked harder then I’d like it to be.

I’ve been replacing strait 18” cable with 12” cable and about 4 to 6” of chain . If I hit something hard and can’t drive 18” deep I won’t have cable sticking out of the ground. My ground is tight enough to hold with a good 12” in the ground and a wolf fang at the end. I’m setting up a few dozen with shock springs and 30 to 32” of chain and a 20” rebar stake for frozen ground. Most years I have frozen ground by the end of the year, I can get wolf fangs in the frozen ground , I just can’t get them out easily. The rebar is not hard to remove from the frozen ground and will easily hold a coyote with or without frozen ground with the long chains. This^^^^^^^. I run shock springs on all my yote traps, and makes it nearly impossible to pull the stake. Have found myself running shorter stakes than in the past, and I can hook those stakes out pretty fast and don't hurt myself doing it. It is my preference, not trying to convince anyone, but my way and I'll stay with it.
