Cable, here. And Belisle coni's. I use 120's for mink and marten, 280's for otter, and 330's for wolverine and beaver. Never had cable failure. Ever. Even held black bear, 3 times, with 1/8" cable extensions on footholds that grabbed bears that got into gulo cubbies.
Just doing what I want now.

Both chain(quality) and cable have a place on my BG's. One draw back on cable is it very hard to know when it has weakened inside to breaking point(IME non stainless cable most often breaks down from the inside out). I have switched to stainless on larger BG's that can really get worked by a catch.
I've learned enough thru the years to now know that I don't know enough. KNOWLEDGE IS FREEDOM.

All my BGs have a swivel at the spring eye and 12-18 inches of #2 machine chain. It last forever unlike cable.

If you can find true stainless steel cable use, I don't have much but got some all made up that Fuller laughaman had . I'm had them 20 year's now and are like new.
Let me sugar coat this
