Check shipping charges before ordering. Most trappers want straight link or twist link chain. Double loop chain is cheaper but not many trappers recommend it. Quote Minnesota trapline products sell pretty good chain I have some MTP #2HD straight link chain bought 3-4 years ago. It is plenty strong for coyote but its light weight makes it less than ideal for use on drags. Last edited by Furvor; 02/07/21 03:33 PM.

I bought over 300 feet of good chain there for less than $100 this summer. They sell it by the pound rather than the foot, so it’s extremely cheap "I have two guns, one for each of ya."

When I started looking for chain someone suggested the side chain on used tire chains. I called the three different auto wrecking yards I dealt with, and in a matter of hours had all the junk tire chains I could use. They were free to me, I imagine that wouldn't happen to the average guy. All you "Woke" people need to go back to sleep!

Not necessarily, I order from Schmitt. All orders over $100 ship for $24.90 So....... if you place a big order shipping will be cheap per item.

Can’t go wrong ordering from Gerald. Very few people do as much for the trapping community as this man.
