i went to only 6 inches of cable and 4 or so inches of chain.. usually as long as i can get down 7-8 inches hold fine for coyotes.. the ground that i am trapping is as hard as frozen ground. i think it is from no till farming.. years ago it was much softer.
when it was time to pull got about half out with a big puller the others cable breaks or ferrels slip with wolf fangs..

I’ve tried a lot of setups and 2-3 links works great for me.

Mine are 18"


Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Mine are 18 in 1/8 cable, if you put some type of rod in a vise and then run the cable back and forth a couple of times, the cable will curl up, then you don't have cable sticking up it will lay flat in your trap bed.
