Alright, my catch pole bit the dust yesterday. Needing one ASAP...anyone have a Ketch-all pole? Thoughts or recommendations?

Do u want for dispatching as well? If so go with the death ray. Works great for both

Death ray, sure like mine.

Yeah, I may do that later but need one NOW. Have a few incidental catches where I trap and a big one destroyed mine yesterday. On top of that I caught the landowners K9 today! His wife was walking the dogs and he got out of sight and she heard him yelp when he found my set. I was already on the property and he wasn’t in there but a few minutes before being released. She held him while I took the trap off his foot. No injuries at all and after I got done I stopped by the kennels and had to check both dogs to figure out which one I had caught, lol.
Went ahead and ordered the Ketch-all and will see how it works out. I was hoping to get a response fairly quick and didn’t have time to wait.

I’d make a cheap one out of pvc and get a death ray during the off season

Love my catch-all for releases. I have a death ray as well. I really like it for dispatch but haven’t used it for release. Very effective for dispatch.
My catch-all is over ten years old and running well.

I love the death ray, but I have a longer catch pole. I think both are warranted if you catch bobcats or bigger canine including big pet dogs by accident.

I've been thinking about getting the 5 foot ketch-all. One of these days I'm going to have a lion in one of my wolf traps and I'm not really looking forward to releasing one, but figure if I have to I'll want the 5 foot pole. Will be interested to see what you think of the ketch-all

i Have the 5 ft ketch all with no complaints it has handled many yotes, coons, fox, possums, a few bobcats, even an otter. keeps em at a distance. loop em, stand on pole while removing trap, and either release or cage em for live market depending on your situation and regs.

Southern Snares and Supply make a nice one called the Big Stick. I’m on my second year using it and like it a lot.

catch-all are the cats meow

I have not tried Brians at So Snares but would surely give them the biz to help pay for his recent heart attack hospital bill.

There was one on the Trap Shed a few days ago. Don't know if it's still there or not. Do a search.

I use a death ray. Works on anything from coons to coyotes. I have released a few bobcats in it without any problems too, just make sure you get the head and a leg through the loup when you go to release.

I had a death ray and it worked great for dispatch, but was not ideal for releasing critters. If you only have to turn one or two loose a season probably not an issue, but I really prefer the Ketch All for release work.
