Those plates will work fine. I bring in my weights before season to sites and use them year after year

Take a cable and a piece of garden hose and run it through a hole on one end for a handle, it saves your hands and is easier to carry. I put a cable loop on the other end to connect my drowner chain to with a sleep easy hook. That way you can separate the trap and chain from the weight for storage.

Basically a piece of pencil rod with a twist in the middle to attach your cable.

I have had beaver drag concrete blocks out. You need to fasten both ends of the cable when possible. I never used a 30 pound piece of steel. Beaver ARE incredibly strong though. Especially those 50 pounders.

I've gone completely to drowning rods. got tired of hauling weights around and having to wear waders to get the weights deep enough. Mine are 1/2 inch rerod but I'm gonna get some fiberglass and Hags drowning slides. Those plates make great coni plates, just drill a hole in the center and bolt a conni bracket of choice to the center.
Common sense catches alot of fur.. Pay homage to all you harvest..
