So who all's traps end up in a giant tangled mess at the end of the season? Just me? You would think that I would have learned by now.

Unless you are using drags and long chains I don't even want to here about it.

They simplify things on the line but if ya let then roll around in back of the truck for a day or 3 it is far from simple LOL

Just leave a half open J hook on the end of the chains for a real treat.

Embrace the treat. It’s like a puzzle, that nobody wants to deal with. But it keeps the mind sharp, lol.

If you really want to mess with a trapper connect a few together with a swivel and tangle them up with the rest and watch them try to untangle everything. That’s pretty funny. I’ve seen big snarls of fishing line and guy splices the ends together and then without telling gives to the greenhorn to untangle
