Would like to start using these on traps and snares. Are the 220 pound enough? Thanks

Nope 300+ in my opinion.

A guy in town tried those on his traps, a pheasant hunter stole 3 25$ traps

At a minimum use the Large 3/16" and use pliers to tighten.

Same here.

Thanks guys.

Above whatever the great tac 20 says. He's got it all

Pliers to tighten is interesting. I'm aware of trying to get links off in the cold......... but putting them on like that on purpose I might try. Thanks.

I would try to talk you outta using Quicklinks. From people being able to open them to coyotes chewing them up every now and again, I'd never use them unless the rig you're putting together has some sort of long drag or something.

Quick links resemble coyote chew toys.

Large and xl both hold coyotes fine. If caked with frozen mud better have cable cutters with ya.

I’ve used the 3/16th size for well over twenty years, with no loss and not one chewed up. I’ve used on long chains, short chains andthe way I currently set them up, with about 24 inches of chain, and not one loss or close call. Always tighten them with pliers. I run a lot of sterlings, and wouldn’t riskthem on something that was risky.

I to have used the 3/16 versions. I always tighten them with my pliers before even setting the traps.

And I use a short chain(10-12 inches) w/2-3 swivels attached to 18" of Berkshire ground stake.

No slamming the stake when short staked.

Like Lee have never lost a coyote or had on 3/16 chainlink chewed up by a coyote.Been using the some of the same ones for years. Could be some inferior made cheap ones folks buy.Paul Dobbins sells good ones.

Every foot hold trap and every CR I own are connected to my staking system by a Quick link. Never had one chewed up.

Been using 3/16" quick links for about 8 years. I attach them to 15" pogos. I tighten them with pliers when I attach the cable stake.....at the truck/SxS.

I have never had a compromise or one crushed by a coyote.

I use the 1/8" (220 lb) links on beaver snares to attach extensions. Never had a beaver compromise one of those, but I would NEVER use the 1/8" for coyotes.

I hope I never run into the coyote that can chew through a 3/16" quick link. I would guess they're heavier than the chain most people use.

Same here. No issues at all with them. Been using them for over 10 years now.(3/16")
