I have about $5 in the ones I use, I don't see how it could ever wear out or break, and I'm still using the first one I built 16 years ago. Quote I’ll try to describe the one I built… I took a 5-foot piece of metal conduit about 1 inch OD. Then I took a hacksaw and holding the conduit up and down I sawed a notch in the end about 1 ½” deep and wide enough for a small chain link to fit in it. Then I got a 6 foot piece of chain (small dog chain) and a 2’ piece of 1/8" cable. I attached one end of the cable to one end of the chain by running it through the last chain link and using a 1/4" nut mashed on the cable. Then using a drill, drill a small hole through the side of the conduit 1” from the opposite end you cut the notches in. run the other end of the cable through this hole and use a single ferrule to attach the cable to this hole. Then drop the chain back through the conduit. This will leave a cable loop at one end and the chain sticking out the other end of the conduit. To catch the animal, put the loop over the animals neck pull the chain and hook it in the notch on the back of the pole. To release them pull the chain out of the notch and let it slip back through the conduit. This little cheap pole is great for releasing small critters you don’t want to kill. I’m sure that’s all clear as mud. Here are some pictures.... Here it is in action releasing an otter... ~ADC~ www.iowatrapperstalk.com ADC's Baits and Supplies, click here

Got a tensioner this year, I think I'll go back to what I had. Act like a blank, get treated like a blank. Insert your own blank!

Put a stop on the cable so it doesn't pull all the way into the pole. Only need a small loop so when the coon jerks his head out of the loop exactly when you jerk it closed you don't have to find a pair of channel locks to make a new loop. just
